I'll never take good running backs for granted again after 1998-2008.
Off top no Google Pumpy style our top 3 RBs 98-08 were:
1. Louis Rankin (got a few NFL carries) 2. Willie Hurst (spin move zona) 3. Rich Alexis (freshman year)
Off top busts
1. Jr Harry (who?) 2. Brandon Johnson (Ty somehow recruited a fast strategy Compton kid who actually murdered a guy) 3. Kenny James (spin move TD @oklahoma then nothing) 4. Kirton (rip) 5. Demetrius Bronson 6. Terrence Dailey 7. Shelton Sampson (shake them dreads)

So freaking sad. We had very god to great RB's before that as far back as I can remember: Weathersby (ftg), Race's fren Greg Lewis, Beno (and Barry), NipNap, Leon Neal, Shehee, Dillon (!), Shehee again.
And then once we got one we went right back on a great RB run: Polk, Sankey, Gaskin (we won't discuss the DWash era out of respect for DDY), Ahmed.
Paul Arnold was the one great RB recruit we had between Dillon and Polk and his back fucked him (us?) over.
Gaskin's well documented lack of speed could hurt here
He wouldnt start for half the teams in the PAC 12
You're right, he'd start for ~7/8
He'd start for everyone in the conference besides the tree.
True. Love is most explosive back ive seen since 2005. When you truly fear a guy every time he touches ball, good blocking or not, He's special. Reuben Droughns had that fear factor for me too. See Nip vs Arizona freshmen year in garbage time. That's fear even though game over...Now insert Love into equation, but in big-money time. He's that explosive. Legit heisman pick

That's funny dnc. Good wortk. But you forgot david Freeman from same class as BJ, TD. I liked his burst. Played very little and gone. Now pick one more team (80%ish) , then find me a school Gaskin wouldnt start for? Good luck!
