Looking for any news as far as RB targets.. I've unfortunately been unable to keep up with recruiting as much as normal, but how are we looking in the running for Bryant? Or have we focused mainly on Williams? Either would be excellent.

I think there has been some division in the fanbase about Bryant, as he has repeatedly stated time and time again how much he likes USC, and he's either a borderline 5* prospect or a legit 5*.

But he's a particular type RB that we already are loaded to the gills with: a big, powerful back who runs up the middle. Next season we will have Wilds, Davis, and Salley who all already fit that particular mold. We're also bringing in Jamari Smith in this cycle's class, who's also a bigger back but with above solid speed for his size.

The Coaching staff sees in Williams a back who's more in the mold of Shon Carson: a back with a higher gear of speed. The staff thinks Williams will fit into the system better than Bryant will, simply because the depth chart is not as deep with Williams' type of back...
