Like this year when Scott was out, Hurd had a concussion, and Lane wasn't 100% but had to carry the load. It's not a dream. We need 2 out of 3 of from Reid/Bussey/love. And that's why the staff still had 3-5 backs they're working on.

We'll see. IMO it looks like it's 1 more RB. Bussey IMO won't be around much longer. IMO UT has him on hold. UT picked up RB recruiting when Reid talked of visits. IMO it's either Reid sticks or Love to go along with Kamara. I could be wrong(it's happened before), but we'll see.

Vaughn may still be in play. Some have said UT is no longer contacting him.

You may be right then. And it could be Paulk gets another shot and we don't need another spot. We'll see.

What I, and I believe others are concerned about, is the scenario of:

1 - Hurd
2 - AK
That's super solid. Here's where it gets shaky:
3 - Scott - Is he durable?
4 - Reid - Is he coming?
5 - What if Paulk isn't reinstated?
6,7 - Pickett and RDAIV are not SEC backs.


So what happens if Hurd or AK goes down with an ACL or something. Is your season derailed?

1 - Hurd OR AK
2 - Scott - Is he durable?
3 - Reid doesn't come.
4 - No Paulk
5, 6 - can't contribute.

Then, you have a solid 1 and a question mark for a 2... that's all. That's why we need one or two guys along with AK. If Reid stays, I think we still need one more. Then maybe only one next year. I favor Bussey this year because of his build and stature. If Reid stays, nab Love.

Bingo! Hammer meet nail. Pay no attention to LV...he clearly doesn't get it.

247 had an interview with him several days ago where he said that he had not heard from UT in a while. That leads one to think that he may down the priority list, unless we started keeping tabs on recruits like the previous staff :)

Spot on...great post. No major injuries next year and our RB situation is ok. At this point though, there are too many unknowns at RB. I just don't really see how we don't take 3 RBs this cycle UNLESS Paulk is going to be reinstated.

IMO that may very well be why UT is not pushing for Vaughn, and is alright with losing Bussey to A&M.

I suppose UT could be planning to take Kamara, Reid, and Love but I just don't see Reid sticking IF another RB comes aboard. He flips to UGA and I think he could end up being their only RB for 2015. The Juco one they have committed was about to flip elsewhere last I saw.

It doesn't matter how many top RBs you have if the OL does not drastically improve. How many times this year did Hurd have to break 2-3 tackles just to get back to the LOS? Just decent OL play this year and IMO Hurd and Lane would have went for 1500 yards instead of the 1000 they got.

Agreed, but if our OL performance in 2015 is identical to that in 2014, would you rather have a best possible #3 or a serviceable #3?

I'd rather have a new OL coach today and not worry about it. :)

As for our 2015 #3 who will probably be Scott, ALOT of teams would like to have a top 10 RB as their #3. Kid was injured all of 2014. No reason at all to think he won't be 100% and good to go for 2015.

IF Paulk is reinstated, he'll battle for #3 as well.

haha no validity to scott wanting to transfer.. I'll be waiting for dude with the Gucci mane avatar to eat his crow... now we can see who the actual joke is claiming "inside blah blah"... will end up at nc state.. been circulating since utc game boys. would be a huge loss because the kid is shady McCoy 2.0... and if you disagree, I'll just sit back and watch you be wrong again.

I just repeated what some of the class of '14 guys told me when I asked about the rumor, my info is as consistent as what the players tell me

How do you give the rock QUICKLY to a guy who has had about 4 different injuries since the time he got on campus?

I've seen Pickett make some great plays in his limited snaps this year. I wouldn't call him All SEC material, but some of yall are brutal on these kids.
