I like Richards more I think only because I know his brother is baller which means he probably is too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richards might not be more dynamic but will be a good to great SEC back. Just don't think, along with some on the staff, that Richards is going to flip.

Cain has the look of what we like but the drops in the rankings are a bit worrisome to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbird 60,368 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Tye is still available...I'm just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auol72 188 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I just dont understand why we dont recruit Tye as a RB and if he then decides he does not like it he can play LB. We have done this before, see Graves back on 2004 team. Clearly the guy has RB talent per his stats and the coaches really like him at LB and we only have one LB committed. Am i missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, I just meant I hope he gets healthy and that offense puts him in a position to succeed. Frost seems like a hell of a coach. Somewhat pulling for him to do well there.

He'll do well there especially being in the west division but it's going to be awfully hard for UN to get to OSU, UM and PSU level imo. its just a hard place to recruit to. Back in Tom Osborne day they recruiting the hell out of prop 48 kids I should add great fans and a fun stadium to go to as the visiting team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeek 16,616 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I just want someone with the build of an Alabama, Georgia, or LSU back. Break away speed and enough bulk to punch through tackles. Don’t think we currently have anyone on the roster like them. I don’t know if it’s our weight program or if we just recruit a different type of running back. Watching LSU’s new starting running back last night all I could think was, “dammit not another one.” Brossette is thankfully a senior though.

Swift, Herran (sp), and James Cook for UGA... all little guys. Damien Harris and Josh Jacobs arent big guys for Bama. Robinson which rarely plays is a big guy. N. Harris is tall but doesnt play as physical as some of bama’s Old big backs. I do agree with you we need that 6’1” 220 guy to balance out our running back room. Come on down Richards and put on 7-8 lbs of muscle each year and by his sophomore or junior year would be a beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Yeah. Whitlow is 6'0 215 as a redshirt freshman. He's already pretty much an NFL prototype physically. Malik Miller, if he can ever get healthy, is 5'11 216. Harold Joiner, who is evidently showing the staff something, is 6'4 215 as a true freshman. We've got size at the position.
