re: Memphis RB Jovon Robinson names Top 5...

get Marshall as a 2nd RB this year

Well he's my only exception

Don't forget Justin Taylor is already committed. Alabama is now looking for a second RB for the 2012 class. I wouldn't overlook Taylor just yet. Ingram was the "second 'back" in the 2008 class.

Taylor reminds me a lot of Ingram, can consistently 6-8 yards a play up the gut with an occasional long run.

He isn't gonna run past many, but speed is overrated for a RB. If you average 5 yards a carry, you could run a 5.0 for all I care...

Pank, I know you love to post that and all, but many of us State fans were mocking him long before you were old enough to play on the computer.

The best part of it is the amount of awful predictions he made. It wasn't just the record but players that he dubbed all american as red shirt freshmen.

If we take a 3rd RB this year, I'll be dissapointed.. We're about as stacked as can be if you count Yeldon and Blakely.. We need to stack the OL, LB, and DT position.

---

You act like taking a 3rd RB would prevent us from stacking those other positions. We are already stacked on the OL besides OT, which is where we have a need, and I doubt the coaches take more than one more unless some complete stud falls in our lap. I'm not sure how LB is a huge issue depthwise, though we'll grab our usual 3-4 total I'm sure.

DT is the biggest need for us period, but I doubt we take more than 3 total really.

We are far from as stacked as you can be at RB. Injuries happen, I can remember numerous years where our top 2 backs went down at the same time, and a few where we were on our 4th string back. We basically have 1 true freshman as our backup and that's it this year, we are not stacked. All it takes is a tiny bit of attrition and you are screwed by not having enough backs. We are still recruiting Shell, Marshall and others, it's pretty obvious the staff is still going after RB. Whether that means we are going after Jovon hard still remains to be seen.

Auburn lock.

I doubt we take another running back

If Robinson or Marshall want to go to Auburn, the coaches WILL "take" them, have no doubt about that.

And, no, the Auburn coaches made no promise to Yeldon that he would be the only RB recruited/signed by Auburn. Just memphisbammer throwin' shite against the wall again.

Ard for me to consider him elite when he hasn't played a down and more importantly is smaller than what Bama normally runs. He is better than most thought but I still remember a majority of fans on this board who were happy he signed just because it secured HaHa. I don't understand how we go from "we signed him to secure Dix" to
he is elite. Not a slight on the kid just funny how everyones attitude has changed considering he hasn't taken an sec calibur hit yet.

Historically, we (the Hogs) have just not recruited well in the Memphis, South Haven, Olive Branch areas. Or even NE Arkansas for that matter. It's not TOO far from Fayetteville, but several schools are closer.

Hope we get him though.

For those that don't know, he doesn't know who his father is and his mom is a drug addict who's been in and out of jail his whole life. He grew up with basically nothing and lived in and out of different peoples homes, etc. The kid just wants some money in his pocket and a better life for himself and his mother.

I did not know that. Good to seem him follow a different path, and hopefully he will continue that path on into the NFL where he can make some real money.
