    Our new recruiting strategy seems to be to take leftovers early so we can feel great about them. Newton falls into that category.

    I know that we? have great RB depth (for now) and that this a weak year for RB, but Newton? Come on. At least tell Tre'Shaun he can play WR if he wins the opportunity then have him play mostly RB. Instead we get Fig Newton.

    I'd rather not waste a scholly.

    Re: Newton vs. Brown, someone dug up their stats for the season thus far. Brown is averaging just above 4 yards a carry (with no TDs) and Newton is at 7.5.

    So there's a mantra from the mods of this site that high school stats mean very little. However, any rational person can look at Brown's stats and have questions about why scout has him as the top RB in the west. High D-1 RB prospects dominate in high school in almost all cases. Newton is doing a little better but he's only getting single digit carries in each game, which raises questions as well.

    The answer: beat the shit out of Oregon, then full court press on Tre'Shawn. Nothing else matters.

    Or alternatively don't take a RB this cycle.
    Have to get away from giving scholies to
    prospects the staff are lukewarm on.
    Would still have Gaskin, Ahmed, McGrew,
    Pleasant, Lowe. Take two in 2019 if need
    be. Much better options in that class.

    Are you fucking stupid? HS stats mean absolutely fucking nothing. Any rational person who has any fucking clue knows not to look at HS ypc. For fuck's sake.

    You would've fucking loved Matthias Wilson!!!

    Tyler Ebell!!

    Fuck off with this shit.

    Also, get Tre'Shaun.

    Newton is visiting this weekend. I'm assuming the staff has given up on/ passed on Brown at this point.

    This news is the cause of my ED.
