I wonder if H Smothers could bring his teammate OT Jacarrius Peak with him on the visit. Had a really good season for NC State and some thought he might enter the draft but declared for the portal today.

Sounds like we might have signed Smothers

More burst and agility than anyone we have had since Gibbs. If the run game is total shite again next year it's clearly a scheme issue.

Well we have quickly addressed RB which is great.

Russaw leaving sucks but we may be replacing him with that USC transfer

Nice pickup.

Still want Raleek Brown, too.

He could be a Darren Sproles-type piece for us.

Hill, Dear, Smothers and Crowell is the rotation im hoping. We’ll need to carry the ball more than last year to make it work.

With Hollywood, AK, and Crowell…..I would expect Daniel Hill to portal, right?

We in for Raleek "the sneaky freek" Brown?

I was all in for him out of high school. He was obsessed with being considered a WR/RB hybrid lol.

You take it back. "Down" Hill is only going to Portal to DePalma's for his free daily gorgonzola filet.

Smothers probably came here to take starter snaps, no?

Hill did some good things for us but I see him in the same vein as Jalston Fowler. He is probably "slash" player as in RB/FB/H-Back.

I think Smothers is probably going to be the starter and Dear v. Crowell for the 2nd back. Hill is probably a situational guy. If they're smart, they start working on Hill's run blocking because we need some dudes at H-B/TE that can actually do it.

I think Dre Washington came here to be a starter too. I think anyone who portals in sees themselves as the 1.

We’ll see. If he can average more than 2 yards a carry then crown him.

Smothers comes from the ACC instead of the Sun Belt. So I think the chance that his credentials are legit are much better than Washington. I always felt like Washington was brought in for depth and flyer to see if we could find a diamond in the rough.

Smothers is the 2nd best back in the portal according to some sites. That's a guy looking for starter snaps or at least some sort of timeshare situation.

I’m confused on why we’re taking an RB with Hill and Dear

We’re losing someone here
