We talk a lot about QB and have hit on WR too, but who’s the top returning back for 2020?
The top candidates have to be Kylie Hill & Najee Harris, but Isiah Spiller, Larry Roundtree, & Jerrion Ealy had decent production last year and could make a jump.

Najee, but I have obvious biases and don't see the others very much.

Najee went beast mode the last half of the year. You should worry he's back for his senior season.

Is he still there? I'll be honest. I haven't given Arkansas much thought recently.

Hill and Harris are the obvious leaders heading into the year. The guys I'm most curious about (outside the ones you mentioned)
- Rose/Smoke at Kentucky
- Eric Gray at Tennessee
- How healthy Zamir White is at Georgia
- The new group at LSU: Davis-Price, Emery, Curry
- Lorenzo Lingard, the Miami transfer, at Florida
I was really impressed with Curry in the Peach Bowl. That kid ran with a purpose.

Looks like his usage went up when Tua went down. He stayed about the same efficiency wise.

It was really after the 1st 3 weeks. It took the line some time to gel and we ran some different blocking/run scheme stuff with Sark. They struggled those first 3 weeks against pretty bleh teams (Duke, NMSU, Carolina).
Picked it up after that.

Nah, he just said him for the hell of it.

It’s Najee and there isn’t a close 2nd.

We are very lucky he decided to come back.

George to be honest, that looks awfully similar to a recent SEC RB that received far too much praise.
Can’t remember his name but it’s on the tip of my tongue.

Boyd. He was leading the SEC in rushing last year at one point, and has 100+ rushing games against Bama.
He may not be the top back next year, but if Pittman can get our line back to what it should be, he could be a contender.

If you're not apart of a prolific offense and good teams that focus on you, they're going to be able to take you out. Look how poor MSU's QB play was.

Najee
Best RB we faced last season. Hoping he regresses.

If Leach can get his offense installed, Hill should be poised for a big year. He was underutilized under Moorehead IMO.
