Some quotes from Biggins on ZC:

What to Like: Charbonnet is a big back with speed and power and checks off all the boxes in what you’re looking for in an every down running back. He’s not just a big back at 6-2, 215 pounds, he runs hard. He’s a between the tackles banger who never goes down on first contact and is always falling forward for extra yards. He also flashes some plus top end speed and can run away from a defense. He’s a decisive runner who doesn’t try and juke and dance too much but is all about getting up the field. Saying that, he does have some wiggle to him, can you miss in the open field and runs with a lot more fluidity then most 215+ pound backs. He also runs with good pad level, again something you don’t see a lot with 6-2 H.S running backs. He has a very good natural feel for the position and shows instincts and hole awareness. Some backs have a nose for the pile, Charbonnet has a nose for finding a seam and then exploding through it. He catches the ball well out of the backfield and should be a threat in the passing game. He’s an every down back who will never need to leave the field and barring an injury, has all the tools and makeup to play early in his college career. He's a workhorse and the kind of back you can give the rock to 30 times in a game and he can wear down a defense.

And he's committed to Cal. Fuck.

Wait what?

It's a Michigan joke. Never mind.

What the fuck is kb doing? That's a bad look. A man's entitled to some rest and relaxation and teen sisters of recruits and all that shit.

But if you miss on Charbonnet you best be cancelling that trip and schedule some trips to California to double down on efforts.

Start of the dead period, sticking around isn't going to change anything.

Hopefully his ass is grass already anyway.

Yeah, but still.

Honestly though, the whole "going on vacation is a bad look" narrative is idiotic. The reason that he should be fired is his track record which is looking worse and worse evry year.

Oh I agree. It’s his overall track record the past 5 years which has been underwhelming to say the least. It has nothing to do w/ this trip. All of the coaches are taking their last vacations before the season. However the timing of this one is particularly irritating due to ZC. Like Coker and DDY have stated; a bunch of pars and bogeys. Not one out of state birdy outside of Mcgrew who hasn’t shown much so far. He’s not the man for the job.
