I cautiously agree w/ this. I said it in another thread we have to handle his recruitment correctly because he is ours to lose

That being said: Zeke's character + parents > Zeke's ego

Recruiting Elliot as a RB/CB is the same as recruiting Anzalone as a LB/RB. Nothing wrong with way they are recruiting him.

Elliot stated in a interview that he has no preference on what he plays... I loved the way he said it as well, he didnt give the typical "Wherever the teams needs me line." He simply said no, almost like it was a foolish question.

I still think recruiting Anzalone as a RB is a waste of time, seems like a great LB recruit to me, my opinion though.

Watching Anzalone's tape, I just can't see him at RB. It kind of reminds me of Perkins last year in that he's productive enough, but I see their skillsets much more applicable to LB at the college level.

I think and hope this is the case as well primarily because it might ease our concerns that he's an impressionable guy and would commit based purely upon emotion. I really think that after the drive home and sitting down, he might wait to commit, but I really love our chances. Would love to have him... That kind of athlete is always extremely valuable.

Per II I believe he is staying tonight in Knoxville and will finish the drive home tomorrow.
