From GoVolsXtra:

Scout.com is reporting that Raiques Crump, an outside linebacker from Minor High School in Adamsville, Ala., has committed to Tennessee.

Crump, 6-foot-2, 215 pounds, is rated as a one-star prospect by Scout.

The News Sentinel has not verified the commitment.

Actually rivals has him as a no stars! The four stars your seeing are user ratings of 18 people who have rated him.

I am drinking the Doolaid don't get me wrong but is anyone else worried we are getting stuck with LA Tech talent at a top tier SEC school? I know CDD can coach em up and the staff knows what they are doing. I just hope we aren't taking fliers on guys just to fill a class. We have had some strong commits since Dooley came on (Hunter, Loften, Neal). But then we get guys like this.

With all that being said Welcome to Volnation Mr Crump get ready to sing a little Rocky Top!

I don't think Rivals has him a 4*. I don't think they have evaluated him either. The 4*'s looks like it is from user ratings, not the Rivals ratings.

Ahh...you are right. I was trying to hurry and get it all posted. Should have took my time and got it right. Thanks for the correction! :eek:k:

If we finish NSD with our committed players intact, and fill the rest of the space with LA Tech caliber players, it would be a great success by Dooley given the situation that greeted him here. I think we need to remember how bad of shape we were in 2 weeks ago.

He is an Eagle Scout. That means something. Earned it and committed. Don't know the coach but they know and if Thompson says he can cut it. Ratings make no difference at this point.

This isn't a Dooley get...from what I have heard it has Lance Thompson all over it. he liked the kid awhile back. Just a thought...the kid is solid.

I really don't. He recruited for Saban while Saban was rising. Thompson recruited for Saban and the last staff. These guys know what SEC talent looks like and what SEC potential looks like.

I think it is true that they are taking some risks on guys who are "under the radar" types... sure. But that's what you have to do when you take a job less than 3 weeks from NSD.

These guys are taking commits from kids who will literally make or break their careers. Would you take guys you knew were "LA Tech" talents in their shoes if you knew the difference? Neither would they.

They lined him up in a lot of positions but mostly they lined him up a DE but he is kinda small for that. I`ve seen him listed both as a LB and a DE. He has good closing speed in pass rush and a nose for the ball from his film. He also has good hands (getting off blocks).

I think if Dooley looked him over and he wants him - that's good enough for me. I think Rivals and Scout rankings are overrated.
