Hes not near as thick or as polished as Vick was when he got here but he is faster. Idk if he can catch or not but he would be a weapon out of the backfield if he can

Damn I just looked, I know it’s early but the top 18 players in the state and no RBs. Who are our targets this year?

Idk how high he is on our board but Kenyatta Harrell from Pearl is a good back

I agree and of course Vick was a junior when he got here. I expect Witherspoon to redshirt and bulk up and play at 210-215 by the time 2020 is here.

I know Huff was going after some out of state 4-5 star guys but with our new coach I'm not sure who are targets are.
Ideally for us there would be a Kylin Hill-esque type talent in the 2020 class in the state of Mississippi but I don't know of anyone that fits that profile.

Turn to Louisiana and go after the best RB over there that LSU doesn't offer.

Can griffin play RB? He plays it as philly, but obviously it's a step up

There are 5 on the first post... another 10 or so can be found here. As mentioned a lot of these were recruited by Huff so have to see what falls out there...

He's not a RB & he plays More of a wing back in certain sets.

From 5'10 180 to 5'10 210? I haven't seen his build but that seems to be asking a lot.

Yeah I don't think getting him to 200-205 is out of the question.

It's hard to believe there is not a 2020 3* RB in the state of Mississippi....we looking at a similar situation to 2019 as far as having to go the Juco route and/or find project guy like Witherspoon.

We're on guys who may not be 5* kids but have SEC offers already even if they're 3* kids. Not similar to Witherspoon.
