Pretty fair heisman odds, as in, they're really good for him for not playing much at all.

He shouldn't be anywhere near the word Heisman

I saw the guy play in high school. And to be perfectly honest, I've never seen anything like him. But, Lane Kiffin wasn't his coach then, so who knows?

I agree, but for reasons that have nothing to do with his talent.

I'm actually interested to see how Henry, Fournette, and K. Marshall do. Henry because he's shown huge promise when he's gotten the chance. Fournette because the hype is in overdrive and it'll be fun to see how he performs right out of the gate. And Marshall because he was even more highly rated than Gurley coming out of H.S., so I'd like to see if he can live up to that promise when not hobbled by injury.

Well, if Bama fans aren't impressed then that makes me feel better.

Have had some local high school coaches that attend practice and they laugh when they see Henry break open with the ball. Says nobody on the field wants to take him on. He will be a beast for UA. Don't think there is any doubt about that.

Yeldon has always impressed me even when he was playing behind Richardson

All I know is he's a freaking monster.

Here he is with our other "big back" Jalston Fowler:



And here he is with the rest of our running backs:

Wish he stuck with Georgia, but I guess we need to up our car game.

Sure could have used him last year. But I guess I'd feel worse if we weren't stacked at RB.

He's shown flashes no doubt. Let's see how he does given a full season of opportunities. Does he transcend into the elite tier or will he become a James Wilder clone?

A ton of talent at running back in this league this year. Can't wait to watch them all.

Bama's OL has been built around their size. They develop holes slower, so the RBs are slower to the LOS. That has worked in the past, but that is going to be their problem this year (see A-day Game). I predict Drake will be their leading rusher, because of his ability to kick it outside and make positive yardage when nothing is there.
