    He's solid relative to this class, but I hope we don't force 2 RBs this year given how weak it is out west. Just take one of these "okay" guys, and then get Austin Jones and someone else for 2019.

    If Pleasant is good, that works. Ahmed, McGrew, and Pleasant doesn't make me feel that great though.

    Maybe if Joyner doesn't get a lot of playing time at DB this year, he could be convinced to play RB. Than again, he can't stay healthy.

    I don't want "okay" guys either, but the depth isn't that good if Gaskin goes pro.
    You can always move Dotson back if you get desperate, or move Trey Lowe like the TSIO guys think they're going to anyway.

    I think one true RB plus Lowe is plenty this year.

    Chinteresting disparity on this kid. Scout has him as the top RB in the west and a top 200 kid nationally.

    Nobody else even has him as a 4 star.

    So not exactly the consensus top RB in the west. Wonder what Scout sees that nobody else does.

    Yeah I'm not the biggest fan, he's good, but he's not near Ahmed or McGrew level of guys.

    I think this is less of a "Tre'Shaun He Gone" offer than an offer made because we? have recruiting momentum. Kids like Camren McDonald saying out of the blue that UW is on top is an example of this. The staff is making the offers they couldn't 2 years ago.

    He's not that special though.

    I think it's neither. It's "we're not sold on Newton so we need someone else" or "we need to put pressure on Newton to commit before his recruiting blows up so we offered this more highly rated kid."

    Why does anyone want CMJr?

    I mean, outside of him being CM's son (and I love CM and I'm sure his son is a good kid, etc), but he's not that good.

    I haven't watched his film, but basing your whole opinion on his sophomore film is jumping the gun. Some of these kids barely even have pubes their sophomore year. Other kids have full beards and won't improve one iota from their sophomore year.

    Is he really not that good? He has impressive offers already.

    You think Tryon was good as a sophomore? Jaxon Kirkland wasn't even a starter. Your boy Sirmon was legitimately bad his sophomore year. I know it's different positions, but let's see where he's at after a couple games his junior year.
    if he does not start as a freshman he must sux
