PCBAuburnaFan 1 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I really hope we get this kid I'm not one to be dismissive on missing recruits such as this. And I have to agree anywhere near a 12th ranked class would be disappointing with the success of least year and the recruiters we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaytonAU 4,606 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 It's great that these analysts have predicted him to AU, it won't mean much if he chooses FSU over us. We'll see Tuesday at 2:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the know by any means, but I would think there is a chance we'd take a third if they were of that elite caliber, but I don't think the position would be a priority necessarily. And I could only see this happening due to Jovon's age and Johnson's positional versatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the RB's we'd have, we'd be silly to waste a spot on a 3rd RB unless a major prospect wants to go. If Roc redshirts, that may further decrease our chances of taking a 3rd, of course all this assumes that we get Kerryon and Jovon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, if KJ goes to Bama it will be as a safety anyway, which is where his higher ceiling is and his best chance to get to the NFL.

There is a pervasive misconception these days that any RB who doesn't graduate high school at 210+ is a "smaller guy" and/or "speed back". In AU Counsel's defense, though, 200 lbs actually is small for a bama RB... Ingram- 215 Richardson- 225 Lacy- 230 Yeldon- 218 Henry- 238 ...and it's true that we haven't heard much from any of the guys they've signed who are smaller than that. But if he's cool playing safety and sees his future there, then he could do a lot worse from a career perspective than bama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoALtiger 3,860 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Kerryon has the build of a safety IMO. When you see him with no pads on, he appears long and lean, more safety than RB. Just based on the ole eye test, he appears to be a tad taller than 6' and a tad less than 200 lbs but you know how that goes. I still think he should take a long hard look at the safety position but that's just me. Regardless, he's an outstanding athlete and a good kid from a fine upstanding family. I hope we get him.
