Very disappointing. Has a skill set unlike the other rbs on the roster. Can’t afford to lose bodies at this position. Hope he decides to stay. Was looking forward to him working his way into the starting lineup.
If you check back through my posting history on all sites, it is easy to see I get excited about BIG backs. I was all in on Jamal Lewis from the time I saw some GA all star game and loved his time here. I had great hopes for Beckwith and jumped on his bandwagon but it did not work out. I was extremely hopeful for this guy too, but guessing he took his own view of the room and thinks his best interest is to move on. So I am now moving on to Seldon as a potential big guy, regardless of position, to hang my hopes on in that space. He is just way more versatile I THINK.
Seldon is waaaaay more versatile. I'll be curious to see how/where they line him up.If you check back through my posting history on all sites, it is easy to see I get excited about BIG backs.

Disagree with this entirely. Sounds more like a “didn’t want him anyways” post than reality. Coaches wouldn’t have taken him if that were the case. Fact is he has measurables and attributes different from our current RBs, and I believe with time and development he could have carved out a role for himself.You didn’t but that’s pretty much the only thing you could have used to think he had potential, maybe highlights from HS but those are fool’s gold. There were never any positive reports from camp
He definitely had measurables and they wanted him. I’m not saying didn’t want him. I had high hopes and I still wish him the best. But every evaluation doesn’t work out and you never know how players will handle the next level in terms of increase in speed, power, skill and the work required.Disagree with this entirely.

So, hope he doesn’t give up on himself here that easily. If Jabari small is injured (which he is a lot), who has a better chance of being a short yardage play than him out of our rbs? Nobody. It was Fant this year by necessity and he’s gone. If I were him I’d stay and make it a point to add strength and become the best pass blocker of the 4 and I think he’d work himself into a significant role in our offense. But hey what do I know, just a fan after all.
Evans was always a 1 year flyer. Who did we go and spend money on after? Low risk and proven commodity. They thought coming in they were going to be competitive or wouldn’t have wasted time meeting.
I’m assuming ole missed payed 1st team money for what ended up being 2nd team back to a freshman.Said it was laughable...or, something along the line.
Glad we saved our money. Kid had a decent season; production was nowhere near what he was probably asking, though...just guessing.
This kid is really smart from info posted and I think he was looking at being a doctor. Great for him and that education will go far for him past football.Will get a good education and Shaw really lowered the talent of that roster over the years so he’ll be able to compete for snaps right away.
Wish he would have toughed it out here but Stanford is an easy place to root for him.
