quietfan 233 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Next year we'll have Mason, jr, Blakeley, soph and and Grant, jr. Add Wilkins, fr and maybe Jovon Robinson, fr, if that works out. I simply don't see us taking two more RB's in this class. First one of Bryant and Green to commit gets the scholly, IMO. ...not gonna factor in J. Robinson--if he can come back, gravy!...if not, still gotta be covered. Blakely & Grant are still unproven on the field. Might be to our advantage if neither Bryant or Green commit until much later, giving us a chance to better assess B&G's on-the-field potential. Don't know if I want to wait that long to find out, though! :'( Also, have Bryant and/or Green implied they'd be willing to share playing time anywhere?

That scenario has not been an option until now. We mat find out if they OV to the same Auburn game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring injury and assuming Wilkins signs, we'll have four (4) underclassman RB's on the team next year before we sign either Green or Bryant. Signing both would give us six. If nothing else, that would be terrible roster management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else, that would be terrible roster management. We're just gonna tell them what they want to hear and then make them play "Jack" linebacker when they get on campus. CGC is taking a page out of Spanky's book so we can win 37 NC's and be like bammer. BTW I realize that we don't have a "Jack" linebacker right now, but we will when we change to a 3-4 b/c that's what Sa-bear runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are saying it will just not be Bryant and Grenn. The 2 RBs will be Wilkins and Green or Bryant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUinfusion 390 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I only have access to the public highlight videos available on YouTube, but I have to say that Bryant REALLY looks good. If we were starting "clean slate" at RB, I think that I would prefer Bryant over Green. Bryant doesn't punish defenders the way Green does, but he seems to break/avoid a lot more tackles than Green. In Bryant's entire ten minute highlight reel, I don't think I saw the first guy in position to tackle him bring him down once. I'm not even sure if the second guy in position ever managed to bring him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is doing ok...his OL isn't blocking worth a flip...they are keying soley on him making it difficult ^^^ This. There are five defenders in the backfield on every play. Bryant is doing well given that the entire defense is meeting him in the backfield on every play. Edit: actually, he is having a GREAT game. The entire defense is keying on him, and it still takes three or four guys to bring him down. The problem is that those three or four guys are getting to him at nearly the ame time that the ball does. He has to elude three or four guys to get a one or two yard run off.

AUBourne 425 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Cocoa is a 3A but I get the impression that they could play with anyone. They do a good job. In Brevard County you can go to any HS you want as long as you get the paper work in early so I think that helps them. I live just down the road and probably should have went to this game but the weather is getting bad here already from Isaac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REInvestingTiger 2 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Folston, RB for Cocoa, is having a MUCH better game than Bryant by catching passes out of the backfield, hard running, elusive. Halftime now. 17-0, Cocoa. Bryant's team doesn't seem to be helping him much as has been stated earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB is have a great game even though his stats may not show it at the end. I've been on record and stand by my choice of DG as my favorite back (at least until I see him play in a few hours ) but after seeing Bryant in a game I totally understand why he is ranked so high. I'd have no problems with AU taking him over Green if that were to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
