"Alabama is my favorite school," he said. "I like how close to home it is. My family can make it to the games. They produce very good backs. There really aren't any backs who go there and don't become better. They add weight and muscle to them. They make them better physically and mentally."
I mean we just lost Fowler and if Lacy doesn't get it together we are basically relying on two true freshman and a redshirt freshman. So I don't see any problem with signing a lot of running backs. We have seen repeatedly how quickly our stacked backfield can turn sparse in a matter of weeks.
Yeah, but an injury, transfer or early departure would change things quickly. And a position change on a couple of guys is a realistic possibility.
I imagine we would, no real reason not to do so. He's an in-state kid with offers from a lot of top programs, and he's got the kind of size to excel at tailback in our scheme. As long as the academics are solid, I wouldn't believe we would turn him away.
Many are comparing him to Cadillac Williams who was also from that area of Alabama. I have not seen film on him but if that is true he would be a "take".
Not really sure about that, honestly. A few people have said it because he's an elusive kid from roughly the same areas as Cadillac, but I'm not sure the two will be all that similar.
I look at Dee Hart who would have had considerable playing time last year before his injury and now T. J. Yeldon has played in both games so far. Therefore, playing time for a freshman is not unheard of. Now, losing JF for the year and Lacy seemingly hampered by his ankle and toe, these Fr will get more playing time as well as Drake.
