TN OL Chris Morris (Texas A&M commit - Now JUCO)

[901LookAlive]

Top 100 football prospect Chris Morris ineligible after transfer to Memphis Central

This is so stupid, that Freedom Prep school is a joke academically. If you have a chance to go to college you should transfer from there. Kid can't go to any school in Memphis and be elgible, what a joke.

 

[VolArtillery]

Hopefully he'll focus on academics, and enroll early.

Lame podcast today. Only noteworthy thing is they said for Morris its between Texas A&M and Tennessee. Arkansas a distant third. Morris doesn't like Nick Saban so not really considering Alabama.

I saw this Kid at the NPA Exposure camp yesterday. Standing new to James Stone I can tell you he's not 6'5, he's an inch shorter than Stone. He showed up with the 2022 ex Quarterback from Freedom Academy.

Not suprising AM is involved with an npa kid with Austin Thomas there. Guy will be annoying.

Yup sucks we couldn’t get that deal done.

Who is Austin Thomas?

 

[DefenseWins]

Who is Austin Thomas?

A personnel guy we hired and then didn’t... great recruiting guy.

 

[jakez4ut]

A personnel guy we hired and then didn’t... great recruiting guy.

And a ut alum.

 

[DaddyChad]

A personnel guy we hired and then didn’t... great recruiting guy.

Yes but he wanted a little too much power. In fact it would’ve been insanity to give him that much power. He didn’t have that at LSU he doesn’t have that at A&M either.

Yeah I agree.

Rumor was, we had him coming from LSU?, not sure. Then it fell apart last year.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Austin Thomas wanted to be the GM of TN Football and have control over football related decisions. Thats not going to happen.

Same as several in state recruits.
"It's perfectly fine for other schools to do that but TN had better do this for me, instead."

I'm over it.

Someone on VQ suggesting Morris is another Drew Richmond:

He's more physical as a high school player than Richmond ever was.

-Hubbs

Kid is way more competitive. Might not end up at tackle but I see him as a player.

-Simonton

 

[yabo]

Gut Feeling on Chris Morris as of today?

Like UT's spot. Texas A&M biggest challenger.

Tennessee has made up a lot of ground there. I think Texas A&M is a real factor there. I think Vols need to get him back on campus.

 

[thunder5]

Must have been wearing Nick Saban's shoes.

Or maybe his girlfriend swore to him he 6’5”

 

[Jackcrevol]

Gut Feeling on Chris Morris as of today?

Great. Another Aggie battle.

Distance is always a factor when TN is trying to pull a kid away from State U, its time we land one

I haven’t watched Morris but that was my worry with Richmond when he signed. He didn’t maul people like I expected a 5 star to. I just hoped it would click or I was just seeing things with my unprofessional eyes

I wonder what Drew Richmond could have been with 4 years with this coaching staff... I still think 3 years of Butch was too much to undo

I agree, but I also think Richmond never had much of a competitive streak in him, and never had a great understanding of his position. He probably should've been viewed as a 3-star with potential coming out of high school, rather than an elite 5-star prospect. He was "5-star" mostly due to his size.
