I'd say this:
C. Jones
T. Dixon
E. Goldman
J. Winston
A. Taylor
J. Jenkins
but I'm holding out hope for (and we have reason to be optimistic for) the following to be included:
L. Collins
TJ Yeldon
We also lead for McCullers and Belue.

Lacy, Hart, Fowler I assume.
Yeah.
Lacy - 50%
Hart - 25%
Fowler - 25%
That isn't a knock on Lacy either. He's an every down back. I just feel like we have too much talent at the position to keep some of them off the field.

I think he will get legit carries next year though. I expect to see a 3 back rotation.
I would like to see us use him like the Ravens used McClain when he was in Baltimore.

From everything I can gather through Tidesports, they are on our list of backup plans.

Hypothetical.
Say Yeldon does come to Alabama as an EE and shows out through Spring, Summer and Fall. Would he get any meaningful snaps at all next year iyo? Assuming we stay healthy as well.

I think Saban is intrigued by this guy, but the fact that he doesn't graduate until March hurts him imo.

Rodney Orr is saying that Alabama would take Alphonse Taylor over McCullers because of this.

Yes. See Mark Ingram when Coffee & Upchurch returned ahead of him. See Richardson as a FR, and Lacy last year as a RSFR w/ Ingram & Richardson there.
If he is what he is reported to be, he'll find the field for a good 8-10 touches per game.

Im surprised tt hasn't been in here telling us were stupid for thinking Yeldon will flip.

I think Yeldon would get carries. He's way too good to redshirt no matter where he goes. Whether or not they were meaningful is difficult to say. We are just pretty stacked at RB. I really wouldn't mind seeing us go to the kind of rotation that LSU uses until someone really distinguishes himself and earns the majority of the carries.

I don't think he's quite as confident as he once was. I'm not getting my hopes up, but I certainly feel better about our chances.

It wouldn't do any good. We've been saying it for a solid month. On second thought, I think I may head over to the Foster thread.

I agree as well, just wanted to see what some of y'all thought. If Yeldon is as advertised, he will get some carries.

Little bit of difference there

Belue is not a backup plan. If he makes the grades to graduate this semester, he has a spot.
And TideSports sucks for information.

Pretty much a guessing game at this point.

He has been in Auburn about 472 times this calendar year.

Great. Bama's Rivals sight is saying that he will sign with Bama.

I think he will too. That's my point.

Im a bit confused here. Youre saying that Yeldon spends lots of time in Auburn as the reason you believe he will sign with Bama?
