Doubtful. Not saying he isn't good enough but with the current trend of RBs draft stocks collectively falling it seems like a long shot or a bad decision to leave early.

I actually disagree with this. I believe with the way things are going that running backs want to get the NFL as fast as possible. Put the least amount of wear and tear on their knees as possible and then get that second contract :hi:

FWIW Kamara was one of the topics of discussion during Barton Simmons' interview on Sports Animal today. Nothing we didn't already know, but thought I'd share:

AK was one of his favorite backs out of high school. Simmons watched his playoff game in person last year and was really impressed by his lower body strength and his willigness to run north-south. Said he almost sometimes looked for contact.

Thinks AK is an every-down back, has the ability to be an elite SEC back, and will push Hurd and others for the starting job the minute he steps on campus. Noted he'll also have the advantage of already been through Bama's S&C program and is certainly expected to tear it up on the Kansas JUCO circuit this year.

The host asked Simmons who might be a similar player and mentioned Seastrunk. Simmons said Seastrunk fit Baylor's offense well but no doubt AK is the more complete back.

Don't fret. You will probably only see him one time since his first year (2015) at UT will be his third year out of high school and he will leave in the 2016 draft. Especially since he has a questionable attitude toward academics.

I just hope that he has a Charlie Garner type year (1992) while he is here. Otherwise, I see little impact with this commitment, other than recruiting headlines.

Nothing wrong with that. That is in fact very god. Don't forget Derrell Scott in this picture either. We could have 3 RBs splitting the carries.
