Three best running backs I’ve seen this year:
Emery
Sanders
Tyrion Davis
Evans and Milton are nasty as juniors, and probably will be seen as better prospects than any of this years seniors, but that isn’t meant as a shot on any of the first three guys.

Davis should be rated higher than Cain. LSU has 2 of the 3 best backs this class

Doesn't apply there considering Emery was once a UGA commit. Wouldn't we be downplaying Emery instead?
Yeah, I don’t think his post means what he hoped it’d mean. If anything, UGA fans should be butt hurt over Emery. Oh well, it’s the rant.
I stand by my opinion from day 1 that Emery will be the best back in this class. Doesn’t mean Sanders can’t outperform, but I see Emery putting on 15 pounds and becoming a sure fire first rounder. Again, just my opinion.

Makes prototypical comment from fanbase who thinks they may lose a guy... calls other people insecure.
Let me be clear. I literally do not give two shits what you think or feel... I am entertained by the dichotomy of these two things:
1) Alabama was in the lead for Sanders, it was because they were pitching immediate playing time and that he could come in as the 3rd back but get serious playing time and then take the starting role in year 2 in all likelihood
and
2) "Solid addition to the roster but not the type of RB that comes in as sees a lot of early playing time."
You've not seen me anywhere in this thread state that I think he's equivalent talent to Gurley (or even Keith Marshall for that matter). There's a reason for that... but your statement just doesn't mesh with what every other Alabama fan had been saying about the kid for months... It doesn't have to be intentional... it's just what happens here. Take your lumps like a champ and come back stronger.

Interesting. People can get too enamored over star ratings. In fact, I think Michel was rated higher than Chubb and like you said, Marshall ahead of Gurley.
I don't see any red flags on Sanders, though. He seems to have vision, speed, balance and power. He runs hard.
I see nothing that indicates to me that he won't be exactly what he is billed as. (Now watch me be wrong.)

As I could care less that your litter was yanked off the tit early.
Please go find a post of mine where I have ever said Sanders was a must get or type of back to come in and play early. I do not care what other UA fans have stated but you seem to want to lump everyone together.
While you are looking to find some post to fit your narrative you will definitely find the ones where I have been saying since last spring I was not impressed with Webb. That I wanted Neal and Wright. That Webb just like Sanders would be a nice addition but neither are a can't miss. So before you start comparing me to other Alabama fans make sure you know my post history.

Any different then a UGA fan saying:

not saying Tide Warrior was downplaying Sanders, but it would be different, because we have a shot at Sanders, but Emery is gone. Him saying he felt like Emery was the better back is completely different.
FWIW, I kind of put Tide Warriors comment into the "I should have said this several weeks or months ago." category. One of those things that he was probably thinking but didn't want the grief that would come with him saying it. Now he says it anyway, and he gets grief with people saying sour grapes.
I've gone through the same thing myself, so I wither go ahead and say it (And take the grief) or I just don't say it at all.

I forgot about hm, NC. He could very well end up being the best of the three.

We thought the same thing the year we brought in T Jones, A Tenpenny, and A Kamara along with Henry.
Just never know but either way Sanders will be nice pickup for whoever gets him. Especially if Jacobs leaves for the draft we will need him and would be a loss to our class.

I have on our board just brought the question up here because now UGA seems to be the team to beat and wanted to know where you guys see him in the pecking order.

Here's the thing... you want people to hold you accountable for things that you explicitly stated, and not things that were said by the fanbase at large... But don't apply the same standard as you commented earlier this week about "UGA fans" expecting Smart to accomplish something roughly equivalent to what Saban has at Alabama... except no one *has* stated that... at least not with any seriousness. You might be able to find a few posts with the approximate exuberance of a solid "we gettin' errbody" level post, but no one that posts with any substance here believes that to be the likely outcome. Is it theoretically possible? Sure... but really fricking unlikely. Like, I'll have a threeway with Kate Beckinsale and Anna Kendrick before it happens...
I don't have the desire to find your post for you, but you have been pissing in the recruiting board cheerios for seemingly most of this week... I had typically thought of you as a pretty decent poster, but lately it's been petty belittling behavior coupled with soft compliments about how a good UGA is good for Alabama. It comes across as insecure, whether that is the case or not. Ultimately... you do you.

Back to the original question...
Probably the coaches saw him as a little behind Emery but as the best available back left in the 2019 class. I don't know how impactful he'll be, but he's got talent and he'll be running behind a more than competent OL if he comes here. Given that we don't know what we'll have in Zeus when he recovers, if Holyfield does indeed go pro (I'm assuming yes), then we will want him for sure. I see him as more well balanced than Marshall from a skills perspective... not the same straight line "I will run away from you if you can't set the edge" sort of back, but definitely don't see him as Gurley based on his film today... who knows how he develops though.

In fairness, Kamara turned out to be correct and so did Henry. Wasn't there something like an injury with Tenpenny? I know a couple left Alabama. just a matter of too much talent.

Yeah. I tell you, there are a couple of backs that really could make an impact, but we'll have to see.

This guy ran through the best comp in the nation. He has power, balance, acceleration, vision, and he's a solid return man. On top of all that, he's already excelled in a long distance travel, high pressure, NCAA-type environment.
I can't see how any back in the nation can be placed above him.
Pecking order wise (if he were to go to UGA), I'd say he's right beside Zeus and behind Swift, with Holyfield in the NFL and BH transferring.

FWIW, I feel like I read TideWarrior say he’s never been as high on Sanders as the other Bama fans.

Sad story. He ended up transferring out and then some time after that he was involved in a fatal car accident.

Saw that Georgia pushed hard for DJ Williams to change his visit plans for this weekend from Clemson to them.
Interesting.
ETA: And now it is being reported that Tyrion Davis is no longer visiting Alabama this weekend. Hmm.

For weeks, DJ had scheduled a visit to UGA this weekend. Dabo convinced him to visit Clemson, so Kirby stepped in.
This is a case of Kirby ensuring he gets a second back, whether it be Sanders or DJ. I don’t think it signals anything TBH
ETA: Watts just confirmed my post, hmmm

If what your 600 "insiders" are saying is true and Trey Sanders is a lock, why would Kirby need to bother with Williams?

So now Watts is considered a good source of information. Good to know. He's gotten quite a bad rap from your fellow fans over on Dawgs247.
ETA: I'm being sarcastic in case you can't tell.
