'25 TN RB Daune Morris (Tennessee)

[jvols1999]

When Cam Rising is playing in his 7th season and everyone immediately assumes he’ll get an 8th, I’m going to confidently assume that if Karic appeals to the NCAA for a 5th season due to playing in 4 games and a handful of snaps in 2023 he’ll have it granted.

 

[MarcoVol]

They are calling his COVID year a redshirt year. But it isn’t.

His career:
2020: COVID
2021: 11 games
2022: 12 games
2023: 5 games
2024: 7 games so far

So he clearly hasn’t redshirted. He’s out of eligibility unless he can get that 2023 year back for injury.

That’s great news.

That’s fair.

RC said last night there has been more dialogue, maybe, kinda…

 

[BelievetheHeup2022]

Sounds more and more like this is APs surprise recruit he was talking to Newberg about.

 

[Vawlk Tuah]

I have not seen one of our backup rb’s show sec talent yet. Who is going to replace Sampson. Bishop? Sheldon is always hurt, who knows how good he is. Am I missing some great back being red shirted?

Bishop has been good. YPC is right there with Sampson. Beyond that it's unproven but Seldon or Lewis should be ready to go next year. It's not like this kid is ready to walk in and pass protect most likely.

 

[Vawlk Tuah]

We will go portal on OT and DT, additionally. But I wanted a Guard in this class also.

Fair

 

[cobbwebb0710]

I think Peyton Lewis is going to be really good in this offense but the poster is not wrong. Bishop is a good role player but not a guy you want being THE guy

I’m not so sure Heupel wants THE guy, I think he wants more of THE guyS.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

I’m not so sure Heupel wants THE guy, I think he wants more of THE guyS.

I’m not going to count out a guy like Bishop, just yet. Especially not a local kid and definitely not at that position.
Sometimes we forget about the traits you can’t measure, desire, heart and want to.
Worst case, he’s going to a hell of a complimentary back.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Agreed. We don’t necessarily need and shouldn’t expect to have a D-Samp-esque phenom at rb 1 every year. We need either a guy like that or a rotation of above average SEC guys. This offense was very productive in 2021 with Jabari Small starting. He was a warrior, but he was no Achilles.

Wish it was an elite OL

 

[volinbama256]

no smart arse, why are we clamoring or getting excited about a 3* who may or may not have reached out to us when we have Seldon, Bishop, Lewis, Keith,etc...?

Is this one of those players who is much better than his ranking?

And he’s legit talented.
He does have all those things you mentioned, but he’s got good athletic ability too.

Yeah that’s safe to assume. That staff wants him and we need to improve our pipeline to Oakland HS.

 

[barrylee]

Off subject a bit but did it look like to anyone else that Seldon wasn’t anxious to field the punts in the Al game?

Don’t know if they told him not to take a chance but seemed tentative to my untrained eye..

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

He started the post with, “I think.”

Well I THINK weak negative posts about players need to be challenged. So here we are!

They said Seldon on air but Boo was the one returning punts.

 

[Go Fight Win]

They’ve been getting that one wrong all year

Because he’s really good. Better than a lot of guys rated 4*. He’s one of the top 2-3 players in the state, I don’t care what his ranking is.

People need to get over star ratings.

Landing a high rank like Sanders should have expectations of a day 1 starter, a la Trey Smith

No it shouldn’t. The ideal would be for Sanders to RS. If we are relying on a true FR to be a significant factor in the OL in year 5, then we have major issues on the OL. It’s rare for true FR OL to walk in and start because of talent and not necessity.

 

[swchandler1988]

When you need them to start. We needed Trey to start, and needed Wanya and Darnell to start. Sanders now will have the time that a freshman should to come in and learn the ropes behind Heard. Depth is a good thing. He’s not going to leave because he can’t start day one.

On the flip side, we’re thin at star where Boo is playing, so he’s needed and he’s doing well. I don’t doubt Sanders COULD start. But just like Nico last year, learning the offense and adjusting to college is important.

I agree he’s been great, the YPC is a bit skewed considering he had runs of 57 and 53 yards against Kent state (would be 5 YPC instead of 6.9). I do like his ability to fall forward and run aggressively
