So basically he wouldn't recruit one he'd have to coach to do that. I would think lots of high school running backs aren't good at it yet.

truth.  They needed a 3 down back that can run inside/outside zone, pass pro, and occasionally get hit in the facemask with a screen pass.  Leaves you missing out on a ton of talented backs.

I don't think the last staff as a whole had that philosophy.  They didn't do too bad in other areas of recruiting.  

I do believe Bo said something to the fact that it was difficult, though.

Didnt say as a whole. Just meant at the RB position.  They signed Devine Ozigbo, Tre Bryant (who could be a solid complete back if healthy), and snagged Bradley late.  Not great results in 3 classes of RB recruiting.

 Held has got M. Jones, Greg Bell, Rahmir Johnson, Ronald Thompkins, and Thomas Grayson since December.  

Ron Brown did a great job with the RB position under Pelini.  Almost too good with AA, Heard, and Green.

Yeah.  I went back and re-read how you wrote it and misunderstood initially.  You're pretty much spot on

 
Already seen musings on what the three RBs think of having three in one class.  I would guess that they're selling them on guys playing multiple spots and all being able to play a lot.  But it could be interesting.

However, this is a good sign.

I said "allegedly" because that was the prevailing thought in the QB's profile.  

It does seem odd with how they want a commitment to be done and all N that they would take one from someone that hasn't visited the campus and facilities yet.  But as long as he sticks with it, it's all good.

Fwiw his HC/recruiting cord says he is shutting it down and they have told other schools (including LSU, BAMA, USC and PSU) that he is done.

Obviously that could change at any moment. But it does make you feel better, or at least me, that he already has the "worried about this offer making him flip" offers. 

Edit: Oops, didn't see page 2! You boys got it covered!

I have full confidence that Frost is not taking a commitment unless that player is done with the process.

I agree. But they are 17 yo kids, so I bet there will be situations where they truely believe they are "done", but then something happens and they take a visit, etc. 

Heck I always said if I was Cam Jurgens last year I would have used all 5 OVs just to see some places.
