Yeah there's no way anyone would convince Emery, Davis and Cain to all be in the same class. We would love it to get all 3, but it isn't happening.
I wouldn't think, but you never know. More and more SEC schools are going to a runningback by committee, so kids are going to have to adjust their expectations. It's not like High School where one kid can carry the ball because he is the best player on the field.
Everybody is great in college, so it is to their benefit to not carry the ball 30 times a game. Look what happened to Auburn last year. In the not so distant future I think you will see more and more schools go to 3 backs with a 50/35/15% type of split in carries.

The problem is this is 3 elite backs in the same class, a lot easier to convince over the course of years with class separation. We only lose 2 RBs after this season, which means if we add 3 RBs in this class we would have SEVEN runningbacks for 2019 season. That's just a ton, and not all 3 of those guys would be getting carries in front of Chris Curry or Clyde Edwards-Helarie in 2019, either. Curry would only be a sophomore, Helarie a junior.
