Georgia running back room getting back to its roots with Chauncey Bowens commitment

Nate Frazier would be the tip of the RB spear that Dell Mcgee needs to continue our offensive balanced attack.....Mr. Frazier has that "BULLDAWG" look and demeanor! GOOOO DAWGS, SICEM!
Chauncey Bowens looks like the real deal; big, strong, fast and cuts on a dime. A strong running game opens up the passing lanes and let the games begin. Go Dawgs!!! One of the best things is that we took him from the gators!!!
I don't disagree with Connor's larger point that this is shaping up to be a good RB class. But he oversells the point when he argues that that McGee has never produced a class of such "caliber."
In 2018, Zamir was ranked the No. 1 RB and James Cook No. 5 (per On3 Composite). Despite White missing time (and ultimately a step) due to injuries, they turned out to be a very good duo.
Our two 2024 guys are currently ranked 7 and 16. Adding Frazier (No. 5) provides another guy who might eventually work his way into the 1-2 rotation.
But -- since Connor made the comparison -- I gotta say that I'd rather have two can't-miss prospects like White and Cook.
Don't get me wrong. I'm excited about our RB room and this recruiting class. I'm especially excited the two Robinsons and Milton (if he stays healthy for a change!).
But Connor is confusing quantity and quality when he claims this class of RBs has the highest "caliber."
Not excited about Andrew Paul huh? He may be the best or most reliable as any of them all come end of this season and come 2024, he may be the best. Just sayin' I would not write him off just yet as not being a potential major force or the best in the bunch before its all said and done. Like Chubb after his injury. Like Zeus, to me, he became the most dependable and consistent on the team, especially with the game on the line. But that's just me.
Best to all of them and let me finish by adding, all this talk or concern about the RB's, that is all it is. Talk. UGA will always have very good, to great, RB's. This year too. Only issue to be concerned with is, how well they block. We can get a WR or TE or LB or DB if needed and even they will likely be above average. Especially with our OL and TE's and them being the athletes that they are.
Going to be a great year!
I'm also very excited about the 2 Robinsons and if Paul returns to form pre-injury. I really think if the foot thing is minor Branson can have a break out year. It is hard to imagine that we don't have a premier running back and lost out on Haynes but it is what it is. Out of the 5 we've got now and the 3 coming can 1 or 2 turn out to be studs. Asking for a friend.
The power is gonna put a hurt on opposing defenses. R. Robinson, B. Robinson and Milton have each gotta be between 225 and 240. Paul's big, too. I feel bad for their
Plus there's so much quality depth. To @ColumbusDawg 's point: Paul could breakout, too. And Edwards ain't no slouch. But not all these guys will get a lot of playing time.
