Vol RB's for 2016

Ok! Based on what? Just curious!

Kelly is a more pure runner than Hurd. Shifty, LCOG, breaks more tackles, has a better burst. The only thing I'm not sure about is top end speed. If he has that I think he will be better than Hurd. Hurd is really good so that says a lot about Kelly.

I have a feeling that Kelly will end up being better than Kamara and definitely better than Hurd.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see Kelly performing anywhere close to Jalen Hurd or Alvin Kamara, again I do hope I'm wrong and I wish Kelly only the best

yeah, i really hope UT picks up another RB in this class. Fils-Aime looks like a pretty good 3* and being the #14 RB in the nation isn't anything to turn your nose up to (rivals). But we run, run, run. Kamara is 20 years old. He's only had really one year to be viewed by scouts and his only 100+ yard games were against Bowling Green and North Texas. As a fan, I love the 1,2 punch that he and Hurd brings to the game, but I can see how he can maybe not be happy with splitting reps, esp if his main goal was an early departure to the NFL.


Is CFA one of the top rbs coming out of the sunshine state this yr? If so not that bad imo

Ummm... Then why didn't he start this season? play in meaningful games? And don't give me the "needs to develop, only a freshman" line because Jalen Hurd, Nick Chubb, Todd Gurley, etc, all played as freshman because bottom line talent gets on the field at that position.

I do like Kelly's style of running but to compare him to Jalen Hurd is just ridiculous to me. Hurd, the guy who is about to be the Tennessee all time leading rusher.

Given the way our OL recruiting has gone, I could see Kelly ultimately having a season where he has more success than Hurd has thus far once he takes over.

But if that happens, it won't be because he's a better back than Hurd.
