  1. Curious to see what everyone's thoughts are on the running backs this year. This is the deepest the room has been in as long as I can remember in terms of guys with upper end talent.

    Daniel Young - 6'0 210

    Similar body type to Kyle Porter, but does everything we'd want a guy like Kyle Porter to do, much better, except pass protect and that's still TBD. He's a guy who will be able to be consistently leaned on in a running back rotation, regardless of talent that makes it's way to campus in the future. Vision can't be taught. 5.1 YPC on 23 attempts last year.

    Toneil Carter - 6'0 205

    The one guy on the team with proven big play ability from the back field who is able to play 2 games without getting injured. Sky is the limit for Toneil. He's more inconsistent than Young in what we saw, but to me has shown flashes of a higher ceiling. Quickness and vision is dangerous, and has the highest top end speed of someone who carried the ball last year out of the RB position. 4.9 YPC on 37 attempts last year.

    Keaontay Ingram - 6'1 190

    He's a freshman. We don't know what to expect. His HS tape shows a quick, elusive, purposed runner, who runs a bit high, but given a set of cutback or counter plays and inside zone to keep the defense honest, could be really dangerous in this offense. In an attempt to compare what someone of his ability and recruiting ranking (247 composite #6, .9324 rating) has shown is capable of in the past 3 years or so as a freshman, we can consider our very own Toneil Carter, Devwah Whaley, Trey Sermon, and Saquon Barkley as players who saw some significant playing time as a freshman. While Saquon is an outlier and Trey Sermon benefitted from having Baker Mayfield under center, it would be a welcome addition to get 5 YPC out of another set of legs in the backfield, especially one with pigskin security and big play ability.

    Tre Watson - 247 says 5'11 205, looks shorter

    Has the most experience out of the group, minus Kyle Porter, whom I will leave out of this discussion, in large part due to the addition of Tre Watson. I see Watson as a replacement for Kyle Porter in all passing situations where we'd want an experienced RB to help with blitz pickups to go along with someone quick out of the backfield. Hasn't had a single season where he's had 200 carries, but will not be asked to be the primary ball carrier unless he shows out. He has a career rushing average of 5.1 YPC, but given his 2 best and most heavily used seasons out of the backfield were alongside Jared Goff and a 5th year senior Davis Webb, he had a massive benefit and likely took advantage of soft defenses. This can't be understated. Will we want to use him in some different ways than the previous 3: draws and counters out of the shotgun on passing downs, screens and passes to the flat. He's our "keep em honest" RB.


    We have a back field with 4 different guys that have different skillsets that Stan Drayton, Herb Hand and Tom Herman need to be able to make good use of to take heat off of Sam and/or Shane and/or Cam (I kid I kid). The talent level is the highest and deepest it's been in a while. We need to take a massive leap forward in the running game, it's the difference between 7-5 and 10-2. And if Kyle Porter sees the field, it should only be in mop up duty after Keaontay needs a rest.

    I think you sign them and figure it out later. Besides, it's not like that room is particularly full anyways. 

    Damn man, hot take. Really, you sign them all? You take the best talent available? Is that what you do in that situation?

    No shit man.

    Gotta love Floyd for trying.

    If the absolute most ridiculous happens, and Tufono and Rian Davis commit, do you change your defense to get the 2 or 3 of them (and Dele) on the field in the future? That would be 3 elite, bluechip Mikes in back to back classes.

    I'm not the one suggesting rules don't apply.

     

    I'm also hardly profiting from my avatar.  Most people don't even remember the sumbeeches.

    Is this the kind of stupidity that I’ve been missing in CR? Glad I don’t go in there.

    Can you tell your ass from a hole in the ground? Does someone need to tell you that you should be breathing right now to continue living?

    I’m sure aggy will claim he’s on his way to earning a fourth star. However, they can’t brag about an “offer” list this time. The only other big programs to offer were VT, Clemson, and South Carolina.

    Clemson actually didn’t offer

    Wasn’t Javonne Shepard committing on his bday? According to Twitter, today is his birthday.

    Would be great if we were able to build some momentum during the dead period. A Shepherd commitment and a Caldwell flip would definitely help with that.

    Who in the fuck roots for Mexico AND Germany? 

    America’s biggest rival AND the front runners? 

    Thats like saying you root for the Eagles and the Patriots. Or OU and Alabama. 

    What a dick

    I've got a Mexican girlfriend so I'm rooting for Mexico. Don't care if that makes me a dick. We should have fucking qualified.

    Earl, this crap was funny the first 50000 times. Now not so much. Lets drop it

    Okay I actually laughed out loud at it, even while having empathy for ausjala and his Blink-182-What’s-My-Age-Again-album-cover-nurse-mom.

    If you read between the lines in the recruiting updates he was posting you could tell that something was up. It's pretty subtle. 

    From 5/3: There's no truth to the rumors that Leal is looking around, he's made a commitment and he knows how important commitments are and would never break the vows he's made, unlike some people I know. 

    From 5/15: Hearing that Taurean Carter and Jeffrey Carter are a package deal, because they understand the importance of keeping a family together and won't split up simply because Jeffrey  is too good for Taurean and has much better options available to him. 

    From 6/10: The commitment of Kenyon Green is a huge get for Jimbo and he's really an impressive young man. I think that when this is all over me and him should get an apartment together. 

    From 6/11: Three star offensive tackle Blake Trainor committed immediately after receiving his offer, because he knows that loyalty is the most important thing even if he had better offers out there. 

     

     

     

    So is she hot or did she just wake up and decide she doesn’t want a 5’9” beta male with a needle dick?

  10. So to recap, Crazy Karen was coming on to Hamm by saying she was going to get whiskey drunk, naked, and in those texts she ended her text with her name and number, even though they were texts over the phone.

    What in the ever loving fuck?

    I now see how they’re trying to charge 9.95. You are paying to see Real World with Aggy fairy dust mixed in, except this idiocy is not staged, the people are really that deluded and insane.
