Asa Martin Back In The Portal

[streetja]

Homeboy saw Dallas and Cam this spring and then just found out we got Lingard and Cheney waiting in the wings. I would admit defeat and leave too

 

[FrancisSawyer]

He was going to sit out this year regardless so this really has no effect on depth. Barring major injuries he wasnt going to get much pt in 2020 anyway. Best of luck to Martin.

Yeah these recruiting sites got him at 5'9-5'10 170-175.

I'm going off his Opening measurements as a sophomore. He was verified 5'11, 180. I've seen him in person, he's not a small back. He's actually much more of an everydown back in high school than Chaney.

Chaney is looking like a BEAST in that weight room

Dude is a different breed

3 down back the way he is working...

I usually forget this cat exists until I'm scrolling on Twitter and see one of his posts

Have a hard time seeing who he would have played over next year at running back outside of maybe Robert burns. Good luck to him at his next stop

Did that transfer RB from Clemson sign somewhere yet?

“We have Chaney, we don’t need another back”

And this is why you continue to recruit all options...

This had him at 5'10 180. The 5'10 is fine. I was more concerned about the weight. Being 180 is much better than 170. Maybe he can get to about 195 and be a lil stocky type down hill back.

No panic. See whats up with Parrish and start working him if hes salty. You have 6 months. Also take a flyer out of Caziah Holmes and Toafili who were both FSU leans but now seem to be searching for a home with Knighton likely going to FSU. Marvin Scott the third can ball as well. Tank Bingsby is rated highly and doesnt seem to be a lock to South Carolina anymore. Keyvone Lee is looking around still. Lamy Constant and Tirek Murphy are two northeast kids that showed early interest you can circle back on. If you want another back there are plenty of options and their will probably be a late riser or 2 because we are still in South Florida.

Look like we might need that 2nd rb now.

Guys like him won't last... no luck wish... let her go

 

[caneholic88]

Can the Butler dude go with him? Lol

It's hardly a big deal. RB depth for 2020 is still very good. Even if Dallas leaves early, you've got Harris, Lingard, Chaney, and Burns. A second RB recruit would likely be red shirted as 5th string backs don't really get carries. I'd say make a run at the handful of top flight guys still on the board at RB but don't take some borderline guy just to have a 5th stringer.

That man is not going anywhere that doesn't equate to guaranteed carries. He's not coming here.

 

[Cuban-Cane]

Asa: "uhhh coach who is that kid over there looking jacked af in the recruiting section?"

Hickson: "Thats Don Chaney son"

Asa: "ohhh he plays linebacker right"

Hickson: "no son, running back"

[Stefan Adams]

From a program source, the plan at RB for the past few weeks, possibly months, has been either Knighton or fine with just one RB (Chaney). Will be interesting to see who they go after. I vote Parrish

With chaney coming I never really saw him taking significant snaps for us. Compound that he wasn’t granted a waiver/injury already puts him down the totem pole on the depth chart.
