I 100% agree that missing out on the top 2 rb's on your board is fucking awful. I'm just not ready to label him as a complete bust at recruiting and coaching running backs. Watson and Ingram have done a lot better than I think a lot of us thought they would at the beginning of the year. Watson was a god damn godsend, and a great recruiting job. We still don't know if we're going to miss out on Cain and Sanders. The big fish is Evans. All of this is just foreplay for Evans next year.
Thank you. No 5 star running back is going to look at our running stats and blow his load when he has alabama and georgia offering him an 80 chance of getting drafted in the first round. Our OL play was shit tier last year, slightly above average this year, and hopefully next year its solid enough to catch the eye of true blue chip running backs. Drayton's rotation of backs last year left a lot to be desired, but it's obvious they were concerned about freshman and fumbling related issues. This year Drayton had Watson and Ingram step the fuck up, and Ingram has averaged over 5 yards a carry with next to no fumbles AS A TRUE FRESHMAN. Recruiting RBs this year has been a clusterfuck, but his true measure as a recruiter will be evident depending on what happens with Evans.
We go from a 5 win team to a NY6 bowl in two years and you're crying because we aren't recruiting like SEC playoff caliber teams (...but still have a top 10 class). Okay.
I think at this point the real #1 priority for our run game is improving OL run blocking and landing zach evans. If we miss out on evans then I will join the fuck stan drayton bandwagon.
Let's say we miss on both Cain and Sanders. How do y'all feel about a running back class of Derrian Brown and Deondrick Glass (the likely backup plan)?
I know we're getting tired of this shit, but if we're not getting our dicks pulled and there is a "secret" visitor, then coker and hoofkin suddenly having their interest wane while on campus could be because Kenyon Green is the visitor. (Remember there were some fucktards on the aggy board and on twitter saying he was in austin).
Or the opposite. There's a lot of buzz on twatter that its Kenyon Green because some random says he saw him at the West Campus cabo bobs. Imagine the reaction if its true.
You're not wrong, just gonna add though that if it's Glass who is the visitor, then there's plenty of reason to keep it secret because of his recruitment with okie state (word on the street is he's a silent commit).
