Looks like they were pretty down to rustle with that #3 and #8 ranking.

at everyone who put Davis, Collins, and Williams over Yeldon and Henry.
ESPN is the be all, end all now for sports opinions? Wow.

Henry got 230 of his 380 rushing yards against Georgia State, Arkansas, and Chattanooga. Fantastic.

Linking Aschoff is nearly as bad as linking bleacher report.

I think outside of Todd Gurley he is one of the premier RB's in the south. He is that good. Which probably means one and done but it should be fun to watch.

I know these lists are just for off season discussion, so I don't usually bash them, but it looks like he wasn't consistent in how he chose players. He put a back up RB who had one good game all year over a guy that tore up the SEC last year, with almost 1200 yards rushing and 350 yard receiving. That makes no sense whatsoever. Depending on how he is making the list. If it's a projection, then is it based on talent or production? Because no way Yeldon and Henry split carries and have more production than Davis unless he is hurt.

The top 3 should be, arguably in any order you want:

Gurley, Yeldon, and Davis.

After that, you can do what you want, I guess.

Bc of les mile's running back system LF will not even get the touches to "live up to the hype". Not LF's fault.

No doubt. He's gonna be a beast, but I don't think you should rank freshmen who have never played a down yet.

The only reason Carson is on there but Trey Williams is not is because he got the majority of carries during the Spring. Trey Williams is FAR more dangerous with the ball in his hands.

Everyone just needs to stop worrying about all the "expectations" put on LF.... He is a big boy and thrives when putting a team or city on his back. This kid has been through much bigger hardships in his life than SEC defenses. Beware of Buga Nation

Gurley is an injury prone scrub who will phone it in like clowney did last year. His stock will fall because his best highlight will be another fist fight vs UF.
