I picked love because we could create a great pipeline from his school. I like Lewis a lot as well if you can add a guy with that size and athleticism to your team it's a plus.

Having a guy like Newsome would be great as well. So hard to choose.

We got 3 coming, we need someone to protect them, like a big OT like Allen.:rock:

I doubt who ever comes in at LT will start either way. O-line is a position you develop into. Blair will start at LT and whoever they bring in will be a back-up

Jeff Demps, Chris Rainey, Mccluster was kind of an RB.

SEC is more known for those all around backs that combine speed and strength but scatbacks can add a nice element to any offense

Would any of the speedsters we are in on be game changers in the backfield? They would be a nice element but how much do you think they would actually see the field? Just want your opinion. Thanks

Just curious but can someone name a recent SEC rb that was a game changer because of his speed?

First one to come to mind was a multi purpose back by the name of Percy Harvin. He pretty much destroyed teams with his speed on his desisgned runs and screen game. Urban Meyer utilized his speed perfectly. As much as I hate to praise anything even remotely Gator related, I'm strictly answering the question above. SPEED KILLS! GO VOLS

Newsome - Speed KILLS. We need more break away threats that the defense has to always know where they are on the field and scheme for them. Amari Cooper might not be as fast, IDK, but defenses definitely better know where he is on the field or they will pay. Look at the first play of our Bama game this year.

Looks like you and I agree on the speed thing, it's real important. We both posted at the exact same time that it KILLS! GBO.

Really difficult to tell from HS tape, which is all i see, because so many guys at that level just run by seemingly everyone. Based on recruiters though, Love and Newsome posses next level speed. If that is true then yes I think they seem some time. They will never be one of the top 2 or 3 options for us, but that doesn't mean they can't contribute and make plays, especially on special teams.

I don't think any of these guys are Chris Rainey, but what do I know? Just think Lewis is a special breed of athlete based on size and speed and Newsome is the all time leader in HS for Punt Return yardage, and he's in Texas where HS football is no joke. Based on that I think those two guys can definitely help us during their careers.

Love. I watched him single-handedly destroy my daughters high school back in October. It would improve our odds with Dexter Lawrence too! That kid is a monster on the d-line, literally a foot taller than every other d-lineman or o-lineman in the game I watched.

It's just really great that we are able to have this discussion on great prospects this late in the process.
Speed, size, and power. SPEED kills but you cant kill a wrecking ball.

Is it possible that Blair is a Dobbs sort of situation? (Butch tells everyone he is out of shape so he can redshirt him and get an extra year out of him)

Wow, pretty dang close between the top 3 at this point. I think kelly is a very solid player who is more of the prototypical size and style back with some great film, i just think harbaugh keeps him in state. I think our two most probable guys are love and lewis. And thats based solely on gut feeling. If we land those two then both sides of the speed/power debates will be happy.

Ps, to the ppl continuously pumping oline on here, yes i realize that we need them very badly and thats why i didnt even include them in this poll because allen and st louis would probably fet about 40% of the votes each. Oline is the biggest concern, we all get it.
