Ok then if that's the case then I understand where you are coming from my bad...In my defense though you did say you think Crowell is the better running back..that made me believe you meant present time not comparing high school

No problem, I saw the confusion. Jay just explained it for me.

his vision is limited, he misses holes and did not read blocks well.

classic run by Bryce him catching a swing vs UCLA, and needed a yard to get the 1st and he decided to do a spin move on the CB instead of just lowering his head and burying him.

Instincts arent developed as a RB with time, u either have it or u dont.

now relax just cus people dont agree with you doesnt mean we expected a Jamal Lewis Freshman season from him.

dang, with as good as good of a season as he had last year hurt and with all these flaws, just imagine what he WILL do when he is fully healthy and corrects these flaws.

Completely agree with you. Once he is healthy there is no telling how good he will do. I think he will be tearing it up wherever he ends up. That's why I still want him at TN

Sj18 & I, completely agree with you Jay. I think BB is a good back, but not a great back.

I would love to have BB on the team because he is a rare talent.....however, I think his family and "handlers" are a disaster waiting to happen. You cant let a kid sit out ALL of spring practice, ALL of summer workouts, then just allow him back on the team. What happens when the first bit of REAL adversity hits BB? When he has a bad game, fumbles to cost a game or gets benched for lack of productivity, will he just go crying to daddy and butler and transfer anyways? Cant trust him now....and you dont want that on your football team.....especially one thats trying to establish a new identity with a new staff.

I'm with Lord Vader on Bryce Brown. The kid, once he is finally healthy is going to be a very special running back.

The guy had a great freshman season considering he nowhere close to 100% all season and was backing up an outstanding talent in Hardesty.

For all the poeple on the Poole bandwagon (and I like him) they better hope he's put his fumble issues from last year's fall practice behind him. You just can't play a guy that puts the ball on the ground 2 and 3 times a practice.

what Im really hoping for (and sorta expect) is that Rajion Neal earns himself 10+ carries per game.

Man, you know I don't think I can remember Hardesty, Brown, or Oku doing that last year in a game.

I'm sure there were a few, but none of them had a fumbling issue. As a unit they did a great job of protecting the ball last year, no doubt.

Poole would have gotten plenty of carries last year had he not struggled so much holding onto the ball in practice. But nobody on here ever mentions that. Strange.

agree with this.
LOL. I'm confused, LV. Do you mean you think Jones to UGA is a significant factor or not?

I just don't think it's really that much of factor. I suppose Jones might be able to help sway Gabe, but who the heck knows with him. He's so wishy washy.

Jones isn't much of a factor.

they are comparing Crowell out of HS to Bryce out of HS, not to Bryce a Sophmore in college.

This.

There is no way Bryce Brown was the #1 RB or #1 overall. I thought that when we signed him and still think that to this day. He's a very good back, but IMO it will play out like this in the end:

Trent Richardson >>>>>> Crowell >> Brown

Yeah at Kansas St, where competition is so fierce. I want him here but the reason people hate on the kid is because he's walked on this team. He might be amazing but the situation isn't setting itself up for amazing results.

brown is a player. not giving him enough credit bam.

Bryce Brown, IMO, was more like the #2 or #3 RB and a top 10-12 overall player in last year's class. I think that's giving him credit. He's going to be good somewhere. I just think Crowell will be better and Richardson already is.

I can't really say that Crowell is better than Brown out of HS. I think the best comparison we will have is their freshmen years once Crowell has played a year. I think we forget that Brown was injured a good part of last year, and I certainly didn't expec Hardesty to have the year he did.

However, I do know this, Trent Richardson is better than Bryce Brown.
 
Trent Richardson played for a much better team and had a much better OLine blocking for him. you have to take that into account.
