Now whether Gus will play him as RB1 or RB2 given the number of RBs we have remains to be seen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know....doesn't mean I can't point it out and voice my frustrations with it!!!!!! I actually like that he is in that 5'10-5'11ish size....5'11 and 200-220 pounds is a legit SEC back. I am stoked about Tank. I haven't been as excited about a RB recruit since Roc Thomas...I am sure Tank's future at AU will be much better than Roc's was.

He should of easily been the best RB we had since Caddy and Ronnie. I hate the way it ended up for him..... TWICE at AU. He could of easily not re signed with us after the changing of grades or whatever it was coming out of high school but this dude loves him some Auburn man that he came back!!! And does he get rewarded for it!??! NOOOOOOO!!!!! It ends in drama and scandal like the first time. Dude just had some rough luck and tough breaks when he was here. And yah I get the second go around some of it was his fault but it is still such a shame and I feel bad for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank is more of an SEC, run you over back than Roc was imo. Did Tank drop to the #4 RB in the nation? I swear he was ranked #1 a week ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen recruiting sites say almost the exact opposite of each other watching the same prospects in All Star weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when it was clear from the middle of the season on that Jovon was clearly the better back Gus still gave way to many carries to Peyton Barber. It was maddening. Especially in the Ole Miss and Georgia games where all we had to do was ride Jovon to the finish line and we would of won both games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
