Some are saying that he is the fastest running back we've recruited in the CNS era.

Can we please get StarBo back deep for returns too?

Yeah he doesn't really have the build of a back with elite speed but he supposedly ran 4.4s at camps FWIW

Harris and Marlon on the kick return team would be awesome, unless Bobby finds a way to screw things up.

Wow, if he is faster than Drake then that's saying something. He seems to be a powerful kid as well.

Looking at his highlight reel the kid has tremendous speed and compliments it with power. He's the all-purpose back I have been dreaming of since Lacy left two years ago.

Ran a 4.34 at the Best of the Midwest combine last February.

Even if you add some ticks on for human error, that's still a low 4.4.

He isn't faster than a healthy Drake, let's be real here. He's a hair faster than Tyren Jones but their 100m times are pretty close.

Harris was a huge need get though. We needed a star back in this class because we're probably losing our top 2 to next year's draft (Henry and Drake), with a good chance of losing our top 2 to the following draft (Jones and Scarbrough). Would put Harris in the bell cow role as a junior

Harris will be our eventual starter. From his tape he has Mark Ingram-type vision and shiftiness. He can actually pick up yards between the tackles too, unlike Henry.

Looks like a more explosive Ingram coming out of hs. Same vision and better cutback ability/speed. Really excited about this commit.

If you want to get the all those tigers worked up again on the SEC Rant then tell them Coach Saban and Mick Nysewander are talking about Mick coming back for a grad school year with a second walk-on scholly.

He is a kid from Hoover but I have not yet been able to confirm this with his mom (who I have known for 35+ years)

We will need someone to fill a fullback role next year. I'm surprised we haven't pursued anyone.

Speak for yourself because I will still not support the decision to let him on the roster. I do however hope he succeeds especially now since he is a part of our roster but will never say thank god we took him.

I'm still undecided on the matter. So many reasons for and against.

They tried very early for Chandler Cox, but really haven't looked at many more.

Seems their satisfied moving someone there. Talk of Ronnie Clark there, TFS there, or one of the walkons. Clark may end up happening, as he prefers offense and was up to 230 pre injury.

Unless they are like Cox or David Ducree, I'd rather them not offer just anyone...

Georgia has had lots of success with the walkon route at fullback.

I'd like to line up a benched d lineman like LSU used to do. Let Liner hop back there or something

I wouldn't be opposed to it, gets him on the field. Better chance making money on the field at FB than on the bench at DT. Don't see him being another Quinton Dial, who just got stuck in a niche because of established starters.

Kiffin likes athletic jumbo backs there most of the time, usually pulling down 25+ catches a year. Fowler kinda got wasted in that regard, but the buggy was hitched almost exclusively to Cooper this season.

The Kiffin offense surprised me in so many mays this year. I expected OJ to beast out.

Pretty much how I feel.
