He did pretty good this year after coming off a broken fibula.

What are we expecting from Yearby this year?

If you mean a decent player who is not as good as the other RB that was on his last team (McCoy), yes.
 
IMO Yes. But Cooper was a very good (not great) back so that's not a bad thing. Unless he somehow finds another gear to take his 15 yd runs to the house.
 
Cooper and Lamar were tackled by the turf more than any two players in UM history. I think Yearby has much more balance and is more fluid than Cooper. But, in terms of speed, yes.
 
Yearby is more like Leonard Conley and will prove to be a very valuable back before its done. He will get stronger and he has incredible lateral quickness and vision. He has had a good year but no he will never be a Duke Johnson.

If he gets the touches...Better than Cooper and Duke. I don't think you guys realize how good his vision and feet are. When we played him in the state title game his cutbacks and balance made us say "oh sh*t" the entire game. Not that we were that good, but still! Not the same foot speed of either backs, but very smooth. However, if JS stays committed, Yearby will be reduced to a back up role.

Mark Walton is the Best RB 2015 class. He's ready.............

Yearby will never have a better season than lamar miller in 2011.

IMO all three rbs we have committed right now are better than yearby. Dexter it would take more time for him to get fully settled into playing rb

Cane fans will have their mind blown on how good he really is.

I agree with the Leonard Conley comparison. Can be a marquee back but really needs a 2nd back to help carry some load.

i am big on yearby, felt he should have been redshirted. not a golden fan but he has developed some good RB's. If yearby follows dukes workout regime, he will be good. I always think people have forgotten about Mark Walton because he just handles his biz. he is gonna be good. not worried about RB.
 
i think duke might have fumbled at times because he tried to do too much. do people realize 80% of our plays ran through him. that kid was our #1 receiver too.
