Running Backs

[JMV JustMyView]

Right we are in the same exact situation we were in last year at this time when it comes to experience depth. The only difference is Chris Smith has more experience today than he did last year at this time. The rest have as much experience as Jonson and Bailey had at this time last year.

Jonson? Did he red shirt last year?

The loss of Bailey and Johnson cannot be overstated. They were both key to our victory in the bowl game. I like Chris Smith but it’s not a one man show and Emani’s speed and Johnson’s power will be missed this year. These are two young talented backs who were lured away with no penalty.

What about Kibodi the TX A&M transfer via Christian Life and Tyresse Jackson the Colorado St transfer via Westgate. They both obviously had good offers out of high school. Will they add quality depth at RB?

The kid from carencro who has the same last name as the kid from many their names are escaping me right now pull up a roster.

Terrence Williams (Many) 6’1” 220lbs.
Kendrell Williams (Carencro) 5’11” 210lbs.

No Montrell Johnson was a true Freshman out of Delasalle last year had a heck of an season now at Fla.

Nobody with that name had any stats for the Cajuns last season.

What the "h" is going on here!

Not quite. Bailey played in 5 games in 2020. Montrell was highly recruited with multiple P5 offers.

You're getting crap about leaving out the "h" in Johnson.

Glass houses, guys.

I'm hoping Dre'lyn Washington is a Bailey clone.

I don't know if Kibodi is gonna do it. I hope so, but he transferred in after a little bounding around, switched positions, and then moved back to running back when it looked like we might be thin at RB. And he is a senior, so we would need to replace him real soon anyway.

Jackson was here last summer, didn't make it through preseason training and has come back for another try. Again, great measurables, but how much of the "want to" is there.

The kid from Lamar may be stout, but 3.2 yards a carry at that level doesn't instill confidence in me.

Elijah Davis might be our highest rated recruit ever when it is said and done, but he is a year away.

I think we'll be ok at RB but I don't think we say "no" when opportunity knocks.

For comparison, I think we have at least four quarterbacks who, in the next two years, could be in the conversation as a starter. I think this room is a bit more crowded than the running back room.

Everything that I have heard we will be just fine at running back.

Don't we have a QB who could make a great RB as well?
