Oh, wait. You're right. You didn't say he was lazy. You just said he "didn't want to" and that his "nah, I'm good" answer irritated you and hoped the next guy would while suggesting that he was being pushed out the door because he wasn't recruiting which is the majority of most running back coaches' jobs. That definitely doesn't imply you thought he was lazy.
And yall, I 100% get Velton Gardner was a warm body after injuries and not the savior of the room. It's just even within the last cycle it showed Choice pivoting that when they needed depth because the room got decimated by injuries, he went out and did the work. But seriously, in the years before that, who would you recruit out of the transfer portal to compete with Bijan and Roschon? There's only the tiniest sliver of an argument for adding another last year with Baxter, Brooks, and Keilan Robinson. This year, fine, make the argument but it was still a room with some experience and talented freshman coming in. It wasn't barren until injuries hit.
