Dude... Wassssuppp?

If Banks can hold onto the ball, he is way above average.

Huge if. Complete deal-breaker if he can't.

Question: are we gonna be able to take a full class in 2021 anyway? That’ll be Pruitts 4th class, we’re still a “young” team, and doubt we’ll have the kind of attrition we had in recent years. We may be up against the 85 in 2021 anyway...may be the perfect time to “burn” a spot for a 1 year rental. Though I, too, would rather see transfers with multiple years of eligibility and only take 1 year guys at positions of immediate need in the trenches.

We can always keep signing full classes as long as we keep blueshirting a couple each year. Given we are likely down to only 2 blueshirts, it isn't a huge deal. Not like we're asking 4 or 5 to bs every year.

I'd imagine we'll keep taking 25 for the foreseeable future...maybe 24 eventually and 24 again at some point and wipe out our last remaining blueshirt spot holdovers.

Then once we clear the remaining blueshirt spots, we won't be able to blueshirt anymore.

I don't think Feaster is better than Gray or Banks. But absolutely is better than Tim Jordan

In what way has Banks proven better than Jordan? Jordan carried for more yards per carry and didn't fumble every game.

I mean... anybody with functional eyeballs can see Banks has more potential... but yes the fumble thing must be fixed before we can hand him the ball...

Generally speaking, good prospects don't blue shirt.

what up GFW!

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Would not take, based on all the reasons given already.

However, it would excite me to see what he would could do. I just immediately face palmed the Madre London pick up last year, but this one is at least intriguing

We stayed pretty healthy at running back last year. If we didnt we probably would have been happy London was on the team.

Historical hypothetical.

 

[VolInDayton]

Historical hypothetical.

True, but what is the probability of a running back missing significant time throughout the course of a season? I would take the insurance 10 out of 10 times with what we had at running back last year.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info!

Jordan has a scat back body type, runs like he's in a sand box, and has vision like my 7 year old is controlling him with a joystick on Madden.

Feaster? Barely knew her.

Yeah it is definitely a riskier road and I wouldn't be mad if we just took 24 or 23 down the road. But Harris is obliging right now and he's good. Jashon Robertson was a bs too and he started 4 years.

I do think it makes it tougher, but I also see it this way - we end up taking a late flyer (Tillman, Solomon, etc) basically every year anyway and those guys are always BS types.

The thing about Feaster is he has to finish summer school at Clemson and won't graduate until early August, then the paperwork has to be processed. So he would miss summer workouts and the start of fall camp. While he's an experienced player, he would be a late add with only a year of eligibility. So risk vs. reward-- do we need his skill set badly enough to take him over anther late signee or transfer who could join the team sooner?

We don’t need a RB. We need a OL or DL or Pass rusher if taking a grad transfer

Who was the last grad transfer to succeed here?

Good question. Was Malik Jackson one?

 

[Wickman]

Not a grad

 

[Sleegro]

Maybe but thought he was a regular transfer. Can't remember though.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Not a grad

He was allowed to transfer without sitting out a year because of the sanctions against USC, correct?
