Guest EagleDamnWar Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Mod on rivals believe if we get Wilkins then we wouldn't turn down Bryant or Green (Not sure about Dye). There may be something going on with Blakely so I don't think its out of the question we take 2 backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope whatever it is that it gets fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope whatever it is that it gets fixed. I don't know that anything is going on with Blakely. During a chat on Rivals, the question was asked, "Who will be the primary guy out of Blakely, Mason, and Grant this year?" The mod responded by saying, "Grant and Mason out of those three." That caused everyone to think something bad was going on with Blakely. The mod then responded by saying, "If Grant and Mason see more playing time; it has more to do with Grant and Mason than it does Blakely." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austudnt23 1,432 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 There is absolutely nothing going on with Blakely. He is a kid that when the lights come on in a game plays much better than he practicea. He will have a great year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tweet of his from 6 hours ago also doesn't sound like there is a problem. Mike Blakely-Peacock @blakehead22 6h War Damn Eagle to all my AU followers!

Zimas4Ziemba 0 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Anyone else surprised we don't have Wilkins as part of this class yet? Last I heard, he wanted Moms to come to God's Country before he committed. Someone buy that woman a Greyhound Bus ticket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard, he wanted Moms to come to God's Country before he committed. Someone buy that woman a Greyhound Bus ticket! I think he might be doing himself a disservice if he really is holding off on his commitment to us. I believe Green and Bryant, though longshots, are higher on our board and would take his spot if they decided to commit. It could also be that the coaches have told him to wait, in order to see what the other backs do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I certainly hope a back of his caliber is not told to wait. If that were the case, it would be a mistake imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did not elaborate but I will make a guess the other top RBs we might be waiting on would be "Greg Bryant and Derrick Green"???? Those IMO are the only backs that are higher ranked than JW.

I have gotten the feeling from the beginning that Dye was more a backup plan than anything else, which speaks to the level of running backs we are pursuing. I don't know that Wilkins has been asked to wait around for anyone else, but regardless I believe he is going to end up being ours. I've heard that we have been considering taking two backs, but I honestly don't think we will take a second back unless it is Alvin Kamara that we take, and the only reason I think we're really interested in him is Foster and Matthews.

No offense, but that's not really something I think a mod should be saying. Whether true or not, if I was AK and read that, I don't think I'd be real happy about it.
