  • Between all the teammate connections and good backs from Tennessee this year I think we are going to be turning RB's away. This class is stacked in our favor!

  • We've got to keep the in state talent and hopefully add another out of state stud- 2 4* running backs in state, that is rare. where is cordova? I know we struggle to get prospects out of Memphis/west tn (Patrick Willis, donte hightower come to mind!!) consistently but if it's middle or east tn we usually do well

  • We need D. Green, Martin, Dye, Kamara, or K. Green.

    I think Elder ends up at cornerback. Wilkins is intriguing but none of the major programs have offered him which tells me that he's most likely not an elite talent. That could be wrong; I understand that but more times than not the RBs with the early offers from major programs are the guys that develop into elite backs. We need an elite back.

    I agree. Hopefully we can get Elder, Wilkins, and one of the five I mentioned above. It'd be nice to get Elder and Wilkins on board early to help recruit.

  • Cordova is a suburb of Memphis. (East of Memphis) Jordan Wilkins is the real deal too. I saw him play my hometown high school and he racked up 250 yards on the ground. He is big, fast, and strong.

    I like the talent we are targeting early this year. Mainly all four stars, which at least helps.

  • I would love to land a couple of big time backs next year. It will definitely help recruiting if we can get our running game going this year. If we have another sorry year running the football, what top RB prospect is going to want to come?
