Seems like running backs usually pop early (gaskin, sankey, polk). the fact that Davis is going into his third season and hasn't been able to establish himself as the primary back isn't a good sign for him being great especially when you look at the JAGs he's been competing with. hope Im wrong

His first season Salvon was the feature back with and older Dick Newton also getting carries.

Last year was only 4 games starting off directly in league play, mostly close games and come from behind.

I think he might be a below average blocker and/or a limited pass catcher. With trusted upperclassmen in front they were not going to put him on the field in the multitude of high pressure situations in which the Huskies found themselves.

Kamari got a ton of snaps because he can block and catch, two important things when you are down 21-0 for like half the season.

Davis has the most potential, but that's all it is at this point (I am still really high on him). McGrew is solid and I hope him and Davis get most of the carries.

But who cares about "needing" an NFL guy. This is college. I'd rather have a good 4-year college player like Gaines or Gaskin that is undersized than someone who has the football traits like Tryon who plays well for 1/2 a season and leaves for the draft.

Voi is undersized and I'm fine with that because he's more likely going to be in college for longer and he's a beast. Getting NFL studs is great, but we aren't Bama, we're only going to get so many. Develop the players with athletic traits, get the best players that the major programs might overlook, and keep the studs from our general footprint home. That is the most likely way to build a complete roster.

Your 2 examples are good NFL players btw.

That's fine. If they were 2" taller they would have left early and been more highly recruited. Not saying we shouldn't recruit the prototypical NFL types, but that won't ever be our bread and butter unless they're in our backyard. You said yourself if Voi is 2" taller he's a 5 star (I agree). You think we land him if that's the case?

I'm all for leveling up, but college production is really all that matters... in college, which seems to be the argument about McGrew.

some of you forget that Colman was a damn good back, very reliable. I would put him above Ahmed based on what he accomplished here

Meh. Cement shoes was awful for two years, had the rhino cum explosion his junior year then was mediocre again as a senior.

Biggest frustration is despite being the BIG BACK he was never once good in short yardage but based on his size (and probably some bullying from @Ballz) @Babushka loved to line him up in the backfield at the goal line and in short yardage situations.

I would take Ahmed's career over Coleman's rather easily.

Coleman was a "big back" who was never better in short yardage than the little back Gaskin. Myles was always better at everything. I would take Salvon every time over Coleman.

Is he still committed?

Hearing Emeka is all tOSU

Really his true freshman year is 21 so essentially he reclassified?

Come get some world class medical treatment then hit the portal… sounds like a plan to me

Can't wait for Fudge's "sit Cam Davis, he sucks, go with Megwa. HTH" thread.

No, even if Cam Davis sucks, he will never admit that Cam Davis sucks. It will be on the coaches for not using him correctly.

See Jacob Sirmon for reference

BTP really got dumb over the QB topic but he wasn't the only one. The "he was wrong and stupid about it that time so he must be again" attacks are pretty lame though. Every topic, every player personnel argument, is it's own. What he's trying to say about the RBs, up

Don't trust the coaches. They have to consider a fuck load of things that most of us don't think about. They want system running backs and are going to lean on the guys who execute the system ahead of the one who is best at running the ball. Not saying thats the case, just thst it could be.

I think he’s good. This probably means he sucks.

I already feared that he peaked as a sophomore.

@bananasnblondes never adds anything to the discourse anyways. He only likes to point out the times i’ve been wrong!!! He’s a bitter old man.
