Trey sanders

I agree.

Wh y are you thinking Sanders? I thought the ship would have sailed.

If the ship has sailed, then call Kirby the Ocean. We get what we need. Never count out any recruit if that’s a position of need and Kirby is doing the crootin’

If anything I think Zeus’ injury decreases the likelihood of seeing another one picked up in this class. Take Tank and two true running backs in 2020 (EJ Smith, Zachary Evans, Daijun Edwards, Marks, Bowman, Clayton, Milton, etc.) and we’re fine. Any contribution from Zeus was only going to be extra anyway. We were extremely deep with Zeus, now we’re just deep (but that only applies to this season). Next year we’ll lose no RBs and gain one. We’re VERY deep at RB in 19 even if Zeus never returns near his top form/potential (but amongst the best and deepest backfields of all time if he does). Lastly, taking another RB this cycle will be a major deterrent to the numerous quality backfield AND WR / TE prospects in 2020. You do not want 3 freshmen RBs on campus (White - RSFRESH, Emery Jr. - TRUEFRESH & another TRUE).

You don't see Holyfield and/or Herrien declaring after this year?

neither will get enough carries to prove them self to be a top round RB imo. might as well stay all 4 and improve the stock

I would agree on Herrien not Holyfield though. I think he's gonna tote the rock quite a bit this year

i think so too but i think it would benefit him more to stay all 4 imo

Imo herrien is more likely to transfer that to declare.

it just depends on his workload this season

Acuna is back and his OPS is now tops on the team, surpassing even Freddie Freeman. Of course, as I have learned over the past week or so, that doesn't really mean much in the world of metrics.

Kasey

But we all think Burroughs is next to commit to the G right?

Acuna is NOT committed to the G

i did make it. very disappointed but at least i got to see acuña play.

We worked 5 regularly last year, but 3 had more significant totes. I think they will spread the carries over 4 backs this year--Swift, Holyfield, Herrien, and Cook. Cook would have significantly less, unless he turns out to be the pick of this litter, which is possible. But, if they spread it a little more evenly, all four will get more carries than last year.

Kasey

Maybe Justin Rogers will commit before Jamil though...thoughts?

jarred_buck

I hope we get Rogers. I’m kinda worried that he’s gonna pick OSU though. He’s teammate (qb) is committed there and I’m wondering if that is why he said don’t ask him why when he commits. Just pondering...

I read it as do t ask him why he’s committing now

jarred_buck

Okay. I read it again and I agree with you. I’m thinking too hard I suppose lol> @bmauldin said:
