I don't know why we haven't offered a lesser known big back with potential. I would take that along with one of Ford,Corn,etc. over just two smaller speed backs.

I know, but I'm talking about one who may actually take our offer. The odds are against us turning him.

JUCO Cam is a pretty big and powerful back.

Corn Elder looks likes Omacc 2.0 to me

He's quicker than OMac, he can make people miss. This guy in our offense would be dangerous, I want him more than Ford

They may feel like there's no one out there that warrants offering a scholarship to.

Artis-Payne is a big back. We'll have him for at least 2 years, so we can go out and get a big back next year. I don't thinking wasting a scholarship on someone that may not be SEC caliber is worth it.

Yes, and I'm glad we have him, but I feel like we need at least one more big back with Blakely gone.

I was just wondering, if we had a backup plan, if Barber falls through. I haven't heard any names.

Because, that board is so hot, Holland is there to help cool it down. Otherwise the internet will burn.

He's slow enough that the photographer was able to get a picture of him without any blur.

He is actually running full speed in that pic.

I thought about this while watching Alfred Morris on NFL AM this morning. A lot of the top NFL running backs come from smaller schools or were'nt very well known in college.

It would be nice to find another Zach Stacy type in-state

Both Ford and Folston are listed at 5'11''. Ford at 190lb.. Folston at 195lb


I don't know about Folston but New Hope doesn't have a legit S&C program so it wouldn't shock me at all if Ford was up to 210 by the start of his 2nd season.

I think what you are saying is reverse psychology?

Anyone else realize that there is a solid chance that Ole Miss could pull the top 3 recruits in the nation according to 247? Ole Miss recruiting is blowing my mind

I agree. Ford looks like he could carry a good bit more weight. Folston probably could too.

It's possible they could end up with that and 3 more 5*'s. Their bagman is working overtime.

I don't trust his thoughts on shite anymore! I asked him last year before the season, How we think we'll do this year and how's Frazier looking?

He said, "Frazier is looking top notch incredible. I think we'll have at least 9-10 wins easy."
