Running back recruits

[Rick Danko]

I know we are still in this years cycle, but looking at next year, if Hill has a monster year which he is capable of and bolts early, who the hell have we got coming in to pick up the slack. I know we all hope Walker lives up to his High School hype, but who is the 2020 running back we are looking at that can be the next big thing

[Todd4State]

I think Witherspoon is underrated and I think Gibson is solid.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Jo'Quavious Marks is who I'm hoping.

[Hambone]

Gibson will be a senior this year

How did this guy fly under the radar? He is averaging almost 20 yards per carry and broke several state records. Is 4A just full of slow white boys?

I believe he started football late and he didn't do all the camps. Four star caliber talent with a three star rating.

Alabama 4A isn't overly competitive. Decent teams but doesn't have that known competition that 5A through 7A have always had to compare yourself to. It's the 4th highest division in AL (we go up to 7A now). They beat the brakes off everyone they played until they got to the playoffs. Lost early.

As an added note, I believe every one of the top 13 prospects in the state of Alabama for 2019 are 6A or 7A players. Think 16 or 17 of the Top 20 are 6A or 7A. State of Alabama has always had a high classification bias. Not as much research is done on the smaller schools like in MS even though there is some top notch talent in the lower levels.

First year at RB. Been a CB prior

That is some Dicenzo Miller level stats but Dicenzo did that in 2A. Wasn't he a track guy also or am I thinking of someone else? Seems like Moorhead is all about speed.

[Cooterpoot]

Going to have to really hunt hard for RBs next round. Not much in MS. Wish Mullen could've pulled Jarveon Howard but we quit him when he flirted around with other offers (got some bad advice). We took a kid that couldn't qualify instead. Huff killed us here too. Likely miss on Marks and Tyree now.

Weir was 1A.

Weighs in about 175 lbs.

[Rick Danko]

My intention is not to bash a recruit, but if the RB from Alabama is our hope for the future, I?m skeptical. We have got to get a back who can handle the pounding of SEC, hard time seeing that from a guy that small.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Weighs in about 175 lbs.

He's 190lbs right now the plan is to be at 200lbs by summer enrollment.

[chef dixon]

Jo'Quavious Marks is who I'm hoping.

Hopefully wasn?t married to Huff

It was Huff that valued speed above all else in a running back, he was quoted several times. That's probably the reason Hill got way more carries than a 1100 yd proven RB.

I said it in another thread
Mullen and Knox really recruited this position poorly the last 3 years

Couldn't be any slower than MAIS

How would you rate Moorhead's so far? We have a project 3 star and a transfer. Not disagreeing about Mullen & Co, but the Saquon boys aren't lighting it up so far either. Much like his offense...I kinda expected RB to be one bright spot early in recruiting. So far...not much from either.

[Pit Bull]

What about the Michigan transfer? Can he play next year or does he have to sit out one? Think his name is Kareem Walker.

He should be able to play this year. And I think he has three left. At least two.

I'd say Witherspoon was a good pick up. We'll see on Ealy. And then we'll see how the MLB draft goes. Walker is a gamble but a decent one to take at this point.

The main issue with our RB situation with Dan is the same one with the OL situation- too many classes where we didn't sign enough. The only running back to make it to campus the last three classes for Dan was Kylin Hill. Zero is 2016, one (Hill) in 17, and one that didn't make it to Starkville in 18 who I thought was undersized anyway. As of now Joe RB group aren't world beaters and have some questions but at least he has two and is obviously at least attempting to address the need. We need Ealy to play football for us, get four star at least next year and depending on how we look with Ealy and Walker we may have to go the JUCO route or get a transfer.

He’s been in JC this school year, so if he takes care of academics he should be eleigible to play this fall....

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Jo'Quavious Marks is who I'm hoping.

now that's funny. You think he just grew up a MSU fan.....

[Cary Hudson's little bro]

Kareem Walker will be 3rd string this year. Kylin has proven to be injury prone so Walker will likely play a good bit with Nick Gibson
