So...that leaves us with a current class without a single RB (I have to assume Jarvis Stewart has no chance). For an offense built around running, this makes me nervous. I know we have Tice & Davis (unknown as D-I feature backs), and McCray as a RS Freshman, but I don't think we have much else...so this is clearly a position of need. Any ideas, Bulls fans, of our top targets, and our chances to land them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The state was loaded. They got two good ones, but they need some game changers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have size, but breakaway speed seems lacking. As to the OL, hoping we get some JUCO guys late, and some of the young guys step up (what happened to Max Long?). Looks like we have 2 pretty good WRs coming on board, and some athletes that could play there (Fulwood, to me, seems like a possible flip to WR...he's got good hands, and YACs are impressive). I'd like to see at least one breakaway back this class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a North Carolina verbal commit until somewhat recently. Baynes and Senat are working mightily to get him to come over to the green and gold.

Any ideas, Bulls fans, of our top targets, and our chances to land them? And Pierre. So we have four RBs for one position. Until two days ago we had three DEs for two positions. It would be great to get a top RB, but DE is a far greater need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's HORRIBLE (can't blame the OL, as the top 3 averaged over 4 as a group). I just don't see him helping us, while the other 3 should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't think he will be our #1 next season, he is probably the only home run threat on the roster. So I think we'll see him more next year with additional experience and Shaw gone.
