Keep in mind Bo is from the same class as Fournette. He missed what would've been his freshman season due to academic problems and then he came in last year he tore his ACL. He'd already have a made a mark if not for those circumstances. I think it's his time.

Speaking of pass blocking, did anyone else see that DB blitz pickup by Nysewander yesterday? It was like he hit a brick wall. Good stuff.

I had to check the number a couple of times Bo had the ball to make sure Henry wasn't back out there. They look very similar. Don't know if Bo has the same top end speed, but he look good for his first extended playing time.

There's not many period with Henry's top end speed

Can Nysewander catch? If so, put him in as the 3rd down back. That's been the Achilles heal of young RB's on a Saban team. If you can't protect my QB, you ain't seeing the field, aight?

Marks looks like a long splash play waiting to happen on those jet sweeps. I think we need to utilize him a bit more.

He caught a TD pass few weeks ago. very underrated player, IMO. WE can utlize him at HB, TE, FB.. He's good at blocking. I think we'll see more of him this weekend.

Clark - looks like he has potential to me. Strong power back.
Xavian Marks - looks like our next Javier, Palmer, Drake, Maze flanker/rb, he will be a star.
Bo - I saw good yardage after contact, and he gave me a really good first impression, like our other drafted backs did.
Harris - I cannot judge yet and I wish I could.

He`s got a set of wheels, that`s for sure.

My gut feeling tells me that we'll see more of I formation this weekend.. because with Henry and Scarbough with mix of marks and Harris... I dont think Defense can handle that after 1st quarter or so.

I was most impressed with Marks. Harris and Scarborough were about what I expected, but that Marks kid can move!

I think coaches were pleased... Marks reminded me of Dee hart... without the injuries of course... I really think Marks has a great chance going forward to get some serious playing time... Who knows? Would love to see him line up on a same play that Muschamp saw when he was at UF that went for a touchdown by Drake.

Harris looked much improved to me. He was twisting and striving to get away more than in previous appearances. Kind of reminded me of Ingram on one of his runs. I remarked then that maybe he was growing up some. Getting used to the speed, etc. Also on Bo, I thought he was the one that ran away from the opposition in HS. I remember he was the one bringing speed to the Tide. Am I wrong there? My memory is not what is was at a previous time.

I like 'em all. Also got some real good RB commits this class coming.

It was great that McElwain took him, and Dee really played a big role in their 10 or 11 game season. He was the #1 back out of HS, the injury plagued him for sure.
