I will even say Roll Tide :icon_cheers:

 

[Splittine]

Could you imagine him and Fowler lined up in the I Formation? Would be like stars colliding.

 

[steelmagnolia]

323 wishful pages about him on volnation :rofl:

 

[planomateo]

Bama's RB pipeline is a thing of beauty

...
2012 - T.J. Yeldon, Kenyan Drake
2013 - Altee Tenpenny, Tyren Jones, Derrick Henry
2014 - Bo Scarbrough

 

[It Takes Eleven]

In light of Henry's commitment, any chance Jones or Tenpenny reconsiders? Does anyone think Henry ends up playing something other than RB? Is Lacy looking over his shoulder thinking, "I better make this year count"?

I know, I'm full of it. Questions, that is.

RTR,

Tim

As tempting as it is to pile on to your attempt at self-deprecating humor...I'll leave it alone. :very_drunk:

The kid is so versatile, it matters little to me where he ends up.

I will say this. I do hope this comes true.

I'd love to see Tunsil join the class!! I've heard that Tenpenny and Jones had already been talking to Tunsil and that Tunsil wanted to go and block for one of these guys. Volnation is in meltdown mode over Derrick! The fans have resorted to calling the kid an idiot, loser, etc. Those people are down right pitiful!!

 

[rick4bama]

What I think is he see how the freshman are playing now. Bama is getting DEEP in the RB. One go down and it like Bama doesn't lose a step.

Good pickup. Tunsil seems to be the next big shot that the coaches want to go hard after.

I haven't been paying as close attention this recruiting season...what's the word on where Tunsil stands?

 

[Splittine]

If I'm looking at it right you can get a chance to watch Derrick Henry on ESPNU in 30 min.

Listening to some of the Rivals guys, Tunsil seems to have UGA as his favorite but BAMA is coming hard!!

He just busted and carried like half of Glades Day's defenders . Dude is a beast!!

 

[UAgrad93]

Kid has 174 yds and 2 tds in the first half.

 

[BamaFan615]

This is just me speculating here, but his body frame is really more suited for either an H-Back/TE or LB. But then again, you can't always just look at an athletes frame and see the whole story.

He sure does have some speed and agility for a guy his size...very versatile.

 

[UAgrad93]

Derrick would be an outstanding H back! Listening to Luginbill gushing how Derrick just looks like CJ Moseley but that IF he can learn to run low behind his pads and be able to improve lateral agility, then he can compete at next level as a RB.

 

[rick4bama]

277 yds and 4 TD all rushing. To me it look like boys playing men.
