Yeah, I just looked him up and he's played 5 years of college ball already.  Not sure why I thought he was still an underclassman.

Bo Jackson Jr. welcome to Austin.  And Ohio St. (as recently rumored) wins the Baugh bidding war.

When discussing RB portal recruiting, Bobby has mentioned that there may be some big name RBs to hit the portal not named Jaden Baugh. 

I was looking through RBs and was wondering about some names: 

Lacey (Ole Miss)
Hardy (Missouri) 
Brown (Louisville)
Martin (BYU)
Bishop (Tenn)
Washington (Baylor)
Durham (LSU)
Berry (LSU)
Sama III (ISU)
Miller (Bama)

Thoughts? Missing some folks?

Harlem Berry... PLEASE!!!!

[DiggsTX]

Perusing Juluke’s offer list at Florida last year and some that caught my eye:

Girard Pringle Jr.: 3rd most carries on Miami’s depth chart (by about 50 carries) with a junior and sophomore in front of him. Still performed this year, averaging 6.2 yds on 58 carries. Good hands out of the backfield too, 4 catches for 53 yards.

 

Harlem Berry: Notably his parents were public about wanting Frank Wilson retained and that did not happen.

Ousmane Kromah: really good downhill back that was third in touches behind a bad FSU team where the writing seems to be on the wall… (though Kam Davis already portaled out). 72 carries averaging 5.7 YPC

I couldn’t care who it is, But i just want a downhill back, that can turn two yards into six, is a menace between the tackles and has some type of contact balance. 

Can we help this RB get downhill by lining up under center from time to time!? Bama did this well under Saban and UGA does a nice job of mixing it up as well. Sark does a lot of things great, but power football seems to be his Achilles heel

I think this is more to what Gerry has mentioned several times. You need to fit guys to your scheme, but what is your scheme? I'm not sure Sark is a power football type of guy, he's very finesse but he wants the appearance of being a downhill running team. Physical, etc.

As you said, he does a lot of things great, that is undeniable.

Sure is a lot of crying on the Florida sites and I love it

Mystery man has gotta be Baugh and/or Berry. But I'd think Berry would likely follow FW to OM.

Until Bobby accidentally lets something slip like “bigger back,” “home-run speed,” or “yeah, he returns kicks,” we’re all just standing around shaking the box and swearing we hear clues rattling. If he drops one real breadcrumb and this board will solve it in six minutes flat. Until then, it’s pure vibes, wildly confident guesses, and Twitter detectives working overtime. All anyone actually knows? There’s a mystery box under the tree with “RB” written on it in Sharpie.

Don’t ever underestimate Ricky Williams, Errick Miron isn’t out of eligibility and age is just a number.  Go ErRicky Go!!

I just want Earl Campbell 2.0

I'm hearing Earl Meggett is getting released from prison soon and he still has eligibility left.
