Re: RB Damien Harris Updates

Thanks for that. From that reaction it does look good. That was Barnett standing next to Damien.
No offense but that wasn't Blake, Blake has blond hair. That was number 1 Jarrett Stidham who is headed to Baylor

Re: RB Damien Harris Updates

Harris is the final piece to our 2015 puzzle, IMO. I think he can come in and contribute right away. Especially if Yeldon leaves.

Re: RB Damien Harris Updates

He tweeted Barnett is sending him pictures of the room.. And he says "too ready to get there", sounds like a winner to me!

No offense, but that was Bama S commit Deionte Thompson who tweeted that to Barnett, but I do like our chances with Harris

Re: RB Damien Harris Updates

I have a question. With what we have so far: Henry, Drake, Scarbough, Tenpenny, Jones, Flowers, Why would you say he's the final piece? I'm just curious because it seems to me that with loaded back field, it seems to me that harris and Flower could red-shirted or just play on special teams?

Some think that Harris is better than some of those you mention. He does have loads of talent.

We seem to perpetually have people suggest Alabama has too much depth at RB, and when it's all said and done we see the team wearing thin at the position more often than not.

Drake is a massive question mark due to his injury, Henry is coming along nicely, but it still fair to wonder if he's best in every situation. Tenpenny has had his issues, and we haven't seen much from Jones. He was more pressed into service than anything else.

Consider this, Alabama looked loaded at RB, right? What happened, Drake goes down for the year, and TJ was hobbled. There is almost always room for a RB to come in and make a huge impact, like TJ did his freshman year.

A couple of things worth adding. Good running backs seem to be on the 3 year plan with one of those years spent learning the offense, how to block, and ball security. Also, injuries seem to come up once or twice a year at this position. Harris could be good enough to jump the others in the rotation but would also be in position in another year to plug in the holes when others leave.
