'14 NC RB Derrell Scott (UT Signee 2/5/14)

[Dust10]

I wonder how much early playing time he would get coming here? Are we planning to redshirt Hurd? If not i don't see him getting that much playing time between Lane and Hurd.

His sophomore year he should be in the top 2. Don't think he would crack carries that fast at SC.

He is better than lane right now. Would bring a totally lacking dynamic to our offense.

that's a bit much, people are placing too high of expectations on these freshman. He can bring a different dynamic but saying he's better than Lane is too much.

 

[griddie]

Lane is just not that good. Average back.

 

[RSATURDAY]

Wrong

100% disagree

Redshirt Hurd? Was that a serious question? And he would be the 3rd RB in his first season and the 2nd RB on the depth chart in his 2nd season. That's a great opportunity. He's also much different than any of our other RBs so I think they would have special packages for him. And Lane gets hurt every year. I'd say there are plenty of snaps there for him.

I totally forgot about Lane being a senior. My bad.

You guys see something i dont then. Hes good but nothing more imo. Not very fast or physical. Good vision though. Not sure he will even make it to the fall with his track record.

Not physical? What team were you watching?

When Lane runs, I can see that he "feels" the ebb and flow of the play, he has wiggle and even the urgency to just plow forward for 2-3 yards when nothing is there. He doesn't trust his speed to bounce it outside and I'm fine with that. He's serviceable and I've appreciated that he had what Neal did not.

Hope you're right about Scott. We need all three (inc. Hurd) to get the job done next year.

He runs hard. Guess i shouldnt say not physical. Just scott and hurd bring a totally different level.

Always falling forward. Pretty physical.

I would rather Lane play for us than against us because he can get tough yards between the tackles, which ordinarily means first downs when we have a competent offense. Good, not great. Hurd can be great. Scott remains to be seen, but appears capable of performing at a very high level.

I think Scott has the potential to be what Oku should've been.

I always thought DD and/or training staff made Oku put too much weight on.

Rivals250 all-purpose back Derrell Scott is one of the top uncommitted players at the Shrine Bowl. Scott has an official top five of Florida State, N.C. State, Ohio State, South Carolina and Tennessee, but the top contenders are the Gamecocks and Volunteers. Tennessee already had an in-home visit, and South Carolina will visit Scott's home in January. N.C. State is very much in the mix as well, but the Wolfpack looks to be trailing Tennessee and South Carolina. Scott, who does not have any other official visits planned, is hoping to commit some time in mid- to late-January.

He reminds me of Montario Hardesty in HS, another back from NC.

If you're talking about Rocky Reid, then I agree..

On UT:

"Really the chance for me to go in there and play early," stands out, Scott says. "I just like the things that (Tennessee head) coach (Butch) Jones is doing. [He tells me] I can get on the field early and that they don't have a guy like me there."

On USCe:

"They've probably been recruiting me longer than anybody else has so that sticks out," Scott said of the Gamecocks. "They've been there for me for a long time. I just like South Carolina, it's hard to explain."

"I'm their guy still and they I've been their guy since Day 1, ever since they started recruiting me my freshman year, Scott said. "They don't want anybody else but me, they don't want to take anybody else."

All UT, USCe, and NC State:

"They're all pretty much even," he said of South Carolina, Tennessee and N.C. State.

He said now that his season is over, he is going to focus more on his decision.

Scott needs to be reminded that Spurrier is not going to be there for much longer. You can bet that should he go to South Carolina, he will have another coach installing a new offensive scheme before he would leave there.
