re: 2020 FB Recruiting & Roster

I think if they were in the same realm then they would've gotten more snaps despite the group in front of them, yes. We've seen that for years at the RB position under Saban. If the 3rd guy is good enough, he's going to get carries, even if two first round picks are ahead of him on the depth chart. All 3 of the top guys had bumps and bruises along the way this year and none of the aforementioned got much time anyway. It's not a ridiculous assertion at all. Correlation doesn't always have to be causation. It's pretty easy to say "they didn't play because the top 4 are just sooo good."

Yea, the top 4 are so good. My assertion is that if the other guys were better then they would still play a little more than they did in a rotational sense. Metchie lead that group with 4 catches this year. LSU has a really good group of WR's too- Mcmath and Dillon still contributed 26 catches and 5 touchdowns.

I'm basing my assertion on the film I saw out of high school and the complete lack of playing time here. If a guy shows a lot of playmaking ability in practice, usually the coaches want to give him a crack at it in a game setting to see if it translates.
