    Despite the initial ridicule Dick Newt seems solid, too
    You love to paint the recruiting bored with a broad brush but the main ridicule of Dick came from BallzDeep. Who now loves Dick and pretends he never hated it.

    The consensus, if there was one, was "meh" he is a JAG as a recruit. Might end up good but isn't a special or rare human.

    Of course it should be noted the RB class out West was incredibly weak in 2018. Dick was the 2nd highest rated RB in the West. The only other top-25 nationally ranked RB, Chris Brown who many on this bored wanted, went to Cal. After Brown and Dick the next highest rated West RBs went to Boise, SDSU, and Oregon State.

    USC, Oregon, Stanford, Colorado, and ASU (x3) all went out of region for RBs.

    Dennis hated Dick.





    Didn't expect to ever write that.

    Almost all the lemmings did

    Meh.

    I think they like Pleasant and are trying to be clever in a down year.

    He's okay, I guess.

    He looks like Kamari Pleasant if Kamari just bounced everything outside.

    He’s not a DDY1 like Chin or Nik Little, but he’s a low 2.

    If you want to know what a good RB with his frame looks like, go watch Steve Carr’s highlights from last year.

    This kid isn’t close to what we need to up the level of our team.

    He’s like BBK, it’ll be barely noticeable that he’s not very good vs crappy teams, but once we play legit teams this guy will be nowheresville.

    So yeah like I said, meh, JAG, not a rare human but not horrible. With a little DDY performance art sprinkled in there.

    DDY and "lemmings" all wanted Treshaun Harrison at RB. There are many reasons that recruitment was fucked up but outside of actually recruiting Treshaun and getting him to play RB there weren't many options in 2018.

    Which was a completely legitimate viewpoint but keep on using your PGOS hindsight powers to proclaim everyone to be wrong when you never post any opinions of your own.

    Fuck Haener, fuck Pete, fuck Bush if he starts this diminutive shrimp with a low ceiling. Kid can’t see over the line and throws another pick six...or he should have if McKinney didn’t have BuddaFingers.

    Id go back and cherry pick all the shit people said about Newton if I wasnt lazy. Dont act like people werent saying it was a wasted scholarship and that he sucked and so does our RB coach

    It may just be because you are not interested in the intricacies of recruiting that you can’t separate out separate arguments. The primary argument against dick was not that he was terrible, it was just that he was a jag and didn’t look as good as Harrison and other top level recruits.

    I am sorry to whomever’s feelings this hurts, but I’m not going to apologize for wanting players like Stephen Carr.
    Getting the 2nd best RB on the west coast isnt a joke, down year or not

    I understand more about it than youd ever give me credit for

    Newton still sucks until he doesn’t for me. His film was terrible.

    If Ahmed can run between the tackles, I think we'll be fine, but he struggled against better defenses last year (Cal, tOSU, Utah, and Utah).

    In our 1 game without Gaskin last year, Pleasant had most of our carries and was most effective, but I don't see him being our #1. Maybe Cam Davis?
    Salvon showed extremely high levels of speed and elusiveness last year when running towards our own end zone. If we can teach him to run forwards he will be awesome

    I still do. Strongly disagree.

    So our LBs have not been good?
