Any insight one what this means for the two backs they are currently recruiting? 

Just adds another very talented RB to the mix...

Javian Osborne, Forney (Texas) High

Derrek Cooper, Hollywood (Fla.) Chaminade-Madonna

Ezavier Crowell, Jackson (Ala.) High

Amari Latimer, Tyrone (Ga.) Sandy Creek

KJ Edwards, Carthage (Texas) High

All great prospects.  I would rank Osborne #1, and it's close among the next 4.

Are you willing to rank the "26 backs, Gerry?

Cooper is my No. 1

i bet he runs 10.5’s at 205 this spring … has very good hands, really good zone back, physical, plays 75-80 snaps per game so he’s rarely just a fresh legs RB on Friday nights

Assuming it’s a (2) RB class with different strengths , how would characterize their running styles?  What would be your ideal pair taking into account RB’s already on the team?

@Gerry HamiltonWould they take a three RB class per chance? With the injuries to Baxter/Clark and the other backs not being as proven (except for Wisner) maybe a good time as any to do that. Maybe a 5 star, a high 4 star and a low 4 star or 3 star to round out that position class?

Luckily we're not in a position we need 3 but even if we did it's unlikely 3 elite backs like those Choice is targeting would want to be in the same class with each other.

Well if Choice is not going after a portal back then if you took three RB's on 2026, which looks like a pretty deep class, you could take your normal two backs and then take a lower ranked one for development.
