Awesome!He's on campus and going through summer workouts.
Judging by the measurements in the media guide, Jacobs is ready, too. Both will have the chance to contribute this year.it's safe to say, Emmons was probably the most important freshmen coming in for this class. our RB depth was dangerously thin. even with Jacobs qualifying, Emmons from a physical standpoint is ready to play immediately.
Agreed. I think Jacobs can be a Drake like player along with Harris.Judging by the measurements in the media guide, Jacobs is ready, too. Both will have the chance to contribute this year.
Their going to have to be sufficient unless one of the walk-on guys have really moved up. Right now RB is as thin as I can remember it in a LONG time. While ultra talented, there isn't the kind of depth you want.How re BJ's blocking skills? This normally dictates how early in their career that they get playing time...:cool2:
There`s technique to be sure in blocking, but wanting to and taking pride in throwing a good block is very important too. If you`ve got the last two, the first will come, especially for athletes at this level.Their going to have to be sufficient unless one of the walk-on guys have really moved up.

So he may not be a polished pass blocker, but his number may get called anyways.

Sure we lack experience but we aren't as thin as you say. Having six RB's on scholarship isnt to shabby JMO.........Right now RB is as thin as I can remember it in a LONG time. While ultra talented, there isn't the kind of depth you want.......
Marks isn't going to be an every down back. He's going to be a RB/WR type guy.Sure we lack experience but we aren't as thin as you say. Having six RB's on scholarship isnt to shabby JMO

I agree he's just not built to carry the ball 15 plus times a game. What makes him special are his speed and allusiveness. We need to get him the ball in space. He'll be a weapon as well in the kicking game.Marks isn't going to be an every down back. He's going to be a RB/WR type guy.

So taking him and an injured Ronnie Clark out the equation, and the RB depth is pretty thin.I agree he's just not built to carry the ball 15 plus times a game. What makes him special are his speed and allusiveness. We need to get him the ball in space. He'll be a weapon as well in the kicking game.
That still gives us 5 RB's in the playing rotation. How many RB's saw significant playing time last year?So taking him and an injured Ronnie Clark out the equation, and the RB depth is pretty thin.
