Do we need ANY RB's with what we're running right now?That's not what we are running right now.
The rumors I had heard was he wanted to play more of a receivers role and get away from being a back. Thought this would be a better fit for the next level. I believe we are ok on receivers.
Actually, I'm not sure "what" we are doing with RBs now. True, CBP 1.0 liked the big power back but I'm just not convinced that is the "best" style RB to compliment the spread option running game with Jackson. Regardless of how we get it or who gets it I think a big point for 2017 should be to try to get more production out of the RB position. That will take some of the heat off Jackson and set up the play action passing game (something CBP likes). But in the big picture that will be more about O-line play than RB play.He didn't like the offense the Vols were running, he's a big back who needs to run down hill. That's not what we are running right now.

To the point of the thread I'm just not sure you tie a scholarship up for 2 years just to get 1 year of possible help. IMO, if Hurd comes in as a grad transfer and be eligible this year that would be a much better deal.
Peace

And minimize the talents of the best player we have ever had, I doubt it. I can see a bigger emphasis on the power option (Bama offense), but no way we abandon the spread with the qbs on roster. Petrino 1.0 offense is dead, nobody in college runs successfully runs a pro-set offense anymore, more to the point; no one who will win the NC runs a pro set.Based on the offensive linemen we are recruiting and some of the statements by Petrino and Summers, I think the offense is going to get back closer to a more traditional Petrino offense.

What about 2013 fsu? That was almost as pro set as it gets.And minimize the talents of the best player we have ever had, I doubt it.

I'm hoping Michigan takes a huge drop off after they lose all their starters. Harbaugh is a shady recruiter and a crybaby.Michigan
Haven't heard anything on Hurd but if petrino wants him, I want him.
And yes, we are going mostly pro offense next year.
As a TE/receiver, he would appear to fill a need with the loss of Hikitini. Another poster mentioned the need to layout a year. I was just assuming he was a graduate transfer.Jalen reminds me of Caldwell Gardner and Michael Bush. He appears to be the back that Petrino favored in his old multi set pro set style offense. This is good.

I believe we have to have some aspects of the power run in the red zone. Do you agree?And minimize the talents of the best player we have ever had, I doubt it.

At the signing day party Colin was listed at 215 or 225 so they have him where he needs to be already. I think he will push for time next year if Jeremy smith doesn't really step up to the plate. And by 2018 the job is his to lose.IMO Colin Wilson will fill that power back role nicely. #2 RB in the state of Florida. 6'0", 205. They'll add 5-10 pounds of muscle to him by the time season starts. Just depends on how quickly he catches on to the system.
Unless we get yet ANOTHER "can't miss" stud next year.And by 2018 the job is his to lose.
Yes indeedUnless we get yet ANOTHER "can't miss" stud next year.
We're getting better ones every year it seems, and competition makes everybody better.
Gotta love it!
Carwell Gardner was the 1st name to come to my mind when I saw someone question the value of a short term reclamation project. It worked out well for both us and Carwell.Jalen reminds me of Caldwell Gardner and Michael Bush. He appears to be the back that Petrino favored in his old multi set pro set style offense. This is good.
No because he has made it clear that he wants to be a WR or TE.Any news on Jalen Hurd? With the Dae Williams injury does it change our interest?
