From Scout:

I think when we "talk about how many backs we have", it is more along the lines of "we don;t have any, come here and you can play right away if you 'compete'", than "we are loaded but you can come play early if you 'compete'".

Makes sense.

This team badly needs a true burner at RB. Wood is fast, but not excessively so.

He's pretty fast.....

Cierre Wood is fast.

Indeed, but I'm talking blazing speed.

He tells UT a whole different story. I love the recruiting game. More speed would be nice. I think we'll have to take his teammate as well.

What is he telling Tennessee?

But is he 'Uh fast'?

I'm all for speed and it appears this kid has it. Curious what his interest in us really is.

“High,” Kimbrow said. “Very high.”

“I feel comfortable talking to them,” he said. “They talk about how many backs they have, how they would love to have me there. They say I would have to work for (playing time), and they weren’t going to give me anything. That’s what I like. I like competing.”

Thanks..., Can't believe I missed it.

MacIrish75 · May 13, 2011

So I'm up late watching Swamp People...and then I read the last two posts...

Seriously though, I don't give a rip if his 4.24 is down graded "all the way" to a 4.3 Kid can still gallop.

wow, i don't believe I'm familiar with that one.

just sassin ya mate.

rtrn2glory · May 19, 2011

article from rivals and he doesn't mention ND:

wouldn't surprise me to see him stay where it's warm.

IrishIllustrated.com - Kimbrow continues to get offers

beryirish · May 19, 2011

I think Dooley will keep him in Rocky Top

rtrn2glory · May 19, 2011

i agree...he says he's planning to wait til after his senior year to decide on a college. A solid year from Cierre and our other guys in the backfield may persuade him, however.

MoreTeo · May 23, 2011

Just read on Rivals that Kimbrow says that Vandy is #1. Didn't see that one coming. He is in no rush to decide but not looking good for ND. Cincinnati is #2 and after that he doesn't really have an order. VANDY?

CINCY? At least Vandy is a good school.

True but Vandy never gets top notch recruits and they are never good. Cincy has a great back in Pead. Pead is a monster when he gets 10+ carries. He rushed for over 1,000 yds last year and averaged 6.6 yards a carry. ND doesn't have that type of back. Pead is what Kelly wished he had in Wood. Pead is just flat out better all the way around. I guess Cincy is appealing because Pead is doing well and they run the spread? don't know

Whiskeyjack · May 23, 2011

Vandy is what happens when a desire to play in the SEC collides with a desire to get a real education.

GainesvilleIrish · May 24, 2011

For a player with big time offers, I don't get the whole Vandy thing. Yeah it's a great school, but to always lose every SEC game you play & finish last every year doesn't appeal to me. It's not even like the national attention is high for Vandy at all, they almost never get a CBS game.

Stanford I can understand, but Vandy? We wouldn't be losing recruits to them ( even if they are Tennessee boys).

The thing is, we have no idea what his story is. Maybe he's dead set on getting a quality education where he knows he'll be pushed in the classroom, and he wants to play in front of his family. Maybe his grandpa is his hero and he's sick and he can't travel to away games, and so he wants to play in front of his grandpa and get a great education. Maybe his dad passed away and he feels a father-like connection with the Vandy coach.

The point, we just don't know. I applaud the kid for making education a priority, and I'll wait to hear his reasoning before I question him or condemn ND for not getting him (and there's still about 270 days until NSD btw)...

Hey now, no raining on the our parade with calm, reasoned thoughts. There is no place in a forum for that.

GBdomer · May 24, 2011

Most odd top 2 i have ever seen out of a top 100 player.

TerryTate · May 24, 2011

He won't end up at either of those schools

Really? Ever hear of Earl Bennett?

Charlie Weis offered him an ND scholarship but he chose to go to Vandy.

Bennett was a 3 Time All SEC WR and set the SEC record for career receptions.

I believe Jay Cutler spurned Willingham. He was a first round pick in the NFL.

And they don't "always lose every SEC game". They lose most of them but not all. They were 4-4 in '08, the year they went to a bowl and beat Boston College (who had shutout ND).

Back to Kimbrow.

Nice, thanks for the facts. And I agree with TT; don't get all hyped because I doubt he's going to Vandy.
