UGAHusker Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Names I've Heard So Far: Stanley Jean Baptiste Jamal Turner Kenny Bell Eric Martin Jake Cotton Kevin Williams Thad Randle Taylor Martinez Brion Carnes Yoshi Hardrick Andrew Green Dijon Washington amongst guys from last year who include to impress: Alfonzo Dennard Ciante Evans Lavonte David Will Compton Sean Fisher Josh Williams Mike Caputo Jeremiah Sirles (leadership, he's injured) Rex Burkhead Brandon Kinnie Kyler Reed Ben Cotton Right now the 2 weakest positions are RB and LB in terms of depth without drop off. RB will be taken care of in the fall when our 5-7 new guys show up. LB will be a little better but we may still lack a solid 2 deep when we're in our 3 backer set. So far the backers are Fisher, Compton, David... 2's include roach, stoddard, may... it's looking like Santos has a good chance to play early along with Pirman if they put him at LB initially. are you kidding me? rb will be fixed when the new guys show up? the ones with no D-1 experience?.. you just lost your crediability with that koolaid comment. Wow, that's harsh and unfounded (which is saying a lot for me). Credibility, btw. Last year, four runningbacks carried the ball more than 1 time, 2 more than 24 times. You make it sound like: a. we need a ton of healthy backs b. runningback isn't the easiest position on the team to pick up in a short period of time. If one of those guys is able to step up and take carries like Rex did, sans injury, in 2009, we should be ok. If two prove to be even adequate, spelling Rex on a couple of series a half, we'll have a decent little stable. Finding two adequate true freshmen runningbacks out of between 5 and 7 prospects (in addition to the others who may be poised to break out due to Brown's coaching) shouldn't be too terribly difficult. Now I don't think that RB will be completely taken care of, but I also don't think of it as doom and gloom position group. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, AND we could always hit the jackpot with a Marcus Lattimore type guy... Also, to fill in the original blank, Ron Jeremy. Quote Link to comment
