Elite running back visits Vols

  • tricknole said...

    Weren't you guys going crazy over Pender just a few weeks back? Weren't you doing the same about several of FSU's guys last year as well?

    Our writer says we have a shot with Davis. I'll believe it. I don't know if we land either of Sanders or Davis. Nobody thinks we land all 3. People only hope we land 2 of the 3. We don't have much depth at RB so it's not like these kids will just sit on the bench.

    Don't listen to every idiot you read on a message board.

    Agreed +1

    We were excited to get an OV from a highly ranked player at a position of need, sure enough. You always want to get OVs from big-time players. Personally, I think Pender was trying to send a message to the FSU coaches. He wants to be the feature back for this class. That isn't going to happen if FSU takes either Sanders or Davis in addition. So their pursuit of these other RBs has a decent chance of causing Pender to look elsewhere. I simply think that if FSU is indeed actively pursuing Sanders and Davis while Pender is committed, they will be lucky to land one of those three guys.

    Yes, some were saying Pender was going to be a VOL, but realistically, most knew that there was no chance he would flip. But you can't blame people for hoping he would, we are in desperate need for a good RB. My motto is, if you swing for the fence enough, eventually you'll hit one out of the park, MAYBE Mike Davis is the one we hit out. shrug

  • Just left a message on Twitter 30 mins ago that said "No longer committed to Florida".

    Fine with me if you guys land Davis. And I've got no problem with Tennessee swinging for the fences.

  • This is as Wes puts it the "Silly time of year". So recruiting multiple backs should be every schools priority. You never know when one like Cross is going to change his mind. I think most Vol fans are hoping the next Jamal Lewis or Little Man are just around the corner.

    More Mike Davis news. The Rivals100 RB, who de-committed from #UF yesterday, just texted to say he'll official to #FSU on Dec. 16

    I think this would be good for UT since both Pender and Davis visited UT but they're both not likely going to same school
