'19 TN ILB Christopher Russell (Texas A&M signee)

[Catbone]

We won't. He'll be a Vol.

That's what you just said about Henry an hour ago

 

[Ron Swanson]

Would be a big miss. Hope you’re right

They're going to put the full court press on him this week now that they won't be going to Cali. Plus he's making OV to UT this weekend, red carpet will be out for him and Wright. Vol next week.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Bring me Wright, Russell, and Pickens and let’s ride

 

[Orange defense]

Russell is a vol.... Forget the naysayers.

 

[T Dog]

Bring me Wright, Russell, and Pickens and let’s ride

Dont see Pickens getting in from grades. Who else you got. Got to be reasonable at this stage.

Green, the DT committed to USCe.

Lou Holtz took us to an Orange Bowl, Fiesta Bowl and Sugar Bowl in consecutive seasons in the late 70's. That's 40 years. We were ranked in the top 5 at some point during each of those seasons. We also stayed ranked around the top 10 each season from then on until 1991, save two years.

I get that we aren't Alabama and the SEC is a different animal but we're not Vanderbilt like some of you are trying to portray. Bielema took us to our lowest point since World War II, and I get having some recency bias.



Bielema somehow finished 3rd in 2015, but yeah I agree it will take us a while to get out of the mess he left our roster in. A&M has even almost cut our series lead over them into single digits with their winning streak over us right now.



Maybe if you're 10 years old. Arkansas dominated the Mississippi schools until Petrino wrecked his bike.

Dude if you are talking s$&t about 40 years ago.... You are irrelevant!!!

If not Pickens, it’ll be him unless we just don’t take another. I’d be happy with another DL

For your sake, I hope you are right

Agree. We need DL desperately

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Agree. We need DL desperately

We really need to load up next year. We have Davis, we need Grimes bad. Need elite DL in this next class in the worst way

Really hope we can get Grimes. I think he could be special.

 

[T Dog]

Did he not say in the airport interview that he was not going to sign in February. Means he got bad grades too. Is why I am for Kristen Williams. Dude is explosive, powerful, and have not heard a peep about bad grades.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Really hope we can get Grimes. I think he could be special.

Will be us vs Bama again

 

[Orange defense]

For your sake, I hope you are right

Well! From what I keep seeing, hearing, and being around, I’m still

Welp if you "see" that his grades are not good enough then I guess that settles it.

If we don't take another, Soloman will count in '19 rather than '20 class. So we'd finish with...

5 star OL Wright
5 star DT Solomon
3 star LB Russell

Pretty solid finish to the '19 class. Perspective...

You should get into politics.

 

[Type Orange+]

If not, we're holding you personally responsible, OD.

Tar, feathers and a freshly hewed rail at the ready.

(Figuratively speaking, of course.)

So Solomons fate is solely relying on whether or not we get 3 real 19'ers.

 

[Bobo0101]

What is it about this thread that brings out the crazies?? If Russell brings this kind of drama I'm not entirely sure I want him in orange lol

You lost me at 1970s and WW2.....

Doesn't he have to sit a year regardless? If so it would just be about whether he counted forward to 20 or counted into this class.

 

[VFLBerg]

He has applied for a waiver which would allow him to play without sitting out.

 

[jakez4ut]

It just hasn't been approved. Something to keep an eye on.

But even if it's declined, they can still count him in this class if there's room to do so.

Which won't be the worst thing in the world. It'll at least give us a full class to sign in 20 assuming we don't go crazy with transfers.
