It sucks, but Henry will be a Tennessee Volunteer.

Dude, you have been saying that for over a week. He is gone. Left the building. Can’t recruit high level ILB. Congrats Tenn. How about we wait and see how things go this weekend. I have a feeling that Saban will put the full court pressure on him and make him think. If not, there is Heimuli who is coming for a visit as well.

If Tosh was that big of a deal I feel the OV would be canceled

So why are we just now showing all this interest in Heimuli? Did he just show up on Nick's radar? Did Tosh drop the ball on this kid? Did he blow up at one of the All-star games or what? Two weeks ago nobody knew who this guy was, now we're all holding him up as plan B if Henry T. goes elsewhere.

He has been in the background and he popped up big time at the all star game. We are now making sure to recruit more than just our top targets, same reason we have 6 DL recruits we are active on for 2 spots.

Heimuli visited UA and was offerred on June 11. They've been recruiting him, but pushed more for Dean, Harris and To'oto'o. Like To'oto'o, Heimuli didn't want to take any OVs until after the Early Signing Period. That's why we didn't have him on our Top Targets list earlier. If there's room, Bama may want to sign him in addition to To'oto'o.

I don't remember a lot of talk about him on here, even after he visited, but I watched him in the Poly bowl, and he's really damn good.

STUD!!! I’ll take both. Might be a better rating on To, and he’s maybe quicker but Heimeli hits like a truck!

Now that is a Mike LB. He attacks and makes contact at or behind the LoS instead of catching the contact 3 yards down field.

Second year in a row we are going after low rated TE's at the end of the recruiting cycle.

Sometimes late bloomers pop up. Bama, UGa, and the Barn are all over him. Must be a player.

Why do so many on this board freak out about any little thing? It's almost like "Well, it's a website that fans of all the teams in the conference post on. We don't want to look like sunshine-pumping homers. So let's wildly overcompensate by being intentionally negative."

Sometimes I legitimately think that's the mindset of a handful of posters on here.

Ball skills like Cj Mosley when dropping back into coverage or throwing lanes.

Nose for the football as well. Great range and closing speed.

Would be a solid addition- looks to have a high ceiling

Irv Smith was a late take and wasnt super highly rated. Dont know if you saw the film and the other teams going after Seith. He is super athletic for his size. Would love to have him.

Well, we are losing three people at the position.
