I think we need a running back. Nobody has any idea if Sanders will play again (and if so, will he be what he looked like that last game) and if Keilan does not come back, we are down to 3 freshman from this year and possibly Brian Robinson, Jr. That does not give me great confidence.

I think that McClellan is going to turn out to be a great RB.
I agree jmac looks good but so does roydell. I just don't think we need a back this year. Here's a question, would you take wheaton over JTT, or tunmise or turner or thomas the receiver, because it comes down to just that. And i didn't mention sorey who some pretty smart guys here say he has a commitable offer.

I agree and I also think Roydell Williams will be a very good one also.
I hope you guys are right.
But I'm curious. We've seen little to none of either on the field.....what makes you so confident?
I base my feeling about McClennan on comments that other Alabama players have made about him. They compare him to Jacobs, and say he has breakaway speed. Add his size and you have a young man who is physically ready to compete in the SEC.
Just personally, no, not this year, particularly if any of these D linemen look to be " can`t miss ". I don`t think you can have too many quality O or D linemen. You win or lose, most times, with what happens up front. JMO.
The problem is that every d lineman is, “can’t miss,” but only a few of them truly are, “can’t miss.”
True. It’s just incredibly difficult to sort out how much of their high school success was a function of lesser competition, and how much it will translate into the SEC.
Then you have the mental factor — after being the best athlete on the field their whole lives, will they put in the work needed for a successful transition to competing against, and beating, SEC offensive lines?
Even the best evaluator of talent in the country, Nick Saban, has trouble making those assessments consistently accurate.
I am confident since just about every RB we have ever recruited and played for us has been very good or great. McClellan was a one time 5* committed to OU before flipping to us. Roydell played in at Hueytown in Birmingham and was very good against excellent 6A and 7A competition. I understand you can't base it off of their HS performances but they are at Bama for a reason.
Here is the updated 247Sports rankings. We had some big movers. Jam was right on Dallas Turner eventually being a 5*.

LOL! No argument. I think they may be the toughest to truly get an accurate reading about.
What if I told you, that according to their rankings, Jonathan Allen and DeShawn Hand could be considered disappointments with their production at Alabama?
Hand probably but allen? I remember him making a lot of plays for us but it did take him awhile to get going.
No offense, but that means nothing, take a look at the runner up miss america. If he was number 2 to me then your point would be a whole lot more potent.
Yes on Hand but you are incredibly wrong on Allen. He was an All-American, won the Lombardi and Bednarik awards and was a 1st round draft pick. What if I told you the ranking services were on point with 5* A'shawn Robinson and Daron Payne also.
247Sports Composite for a 5* is the top 32 players that they feel are going to be a 1st round draft pick. Not how much they played early in their careers. Check out the guys Allen was playing behind early in his career.
I hope we get to see him the entire 4th quarter Saturday while Najee and BRob take a break.
