Not so positive news

[DTP]

Why? We have Harris and Knighton as well as 2 big time in-coming freshman.

I didn’t think I’d have to explain the sarcasm but I was only pretending to be the overly panicky Miami fan guy.

Not worried. Chaney will get his time to shine. He’s obviously the most physically gifted back. That being said, we’ve got Harris who’s a pretty complete back. He was going to be the bell cow all along. Add in the shifty Knighton. Then we’ve got two grown man child bruisers coming this fall. The RB room is the least of our worries. Don needs to take his time to get right.

Luckily wins don't start adding up til fall, the less hits the better for RB.

 

[Go Canes!!]

15-Uh oh

This is the only position where I can feel comfortable saying next man up. Cause Hickson recruiting like he an SEC coach. I bet he just gives them his check and he lives under hard rock stadium rent free.

This would be alarming if Cody Brown wasn't signed.

A good chunk of the board thought he's too slow and a waste of a scholarship. There's a non-zero chance he plays a significant role this year.

This is why in that one thread when they asked 3 freshman we could use in spring and I said Chad Brown. We could use Thad Franklin as well. RB is a tough position. The Don will play this fall, but we can never not have enough RBs. Less wear and tear.

 

[Go Canes!!]

Appreciate the depth we have but Chaney is a difference maker who you just don’t replace.

 

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

15-Uh oh

I laughed hard. You know that one laugh where it's like you're singing baritone and it's coming from your stomach and you're trying not to embarrass yourself in public in a predominantly white establishment in Johnson County, Kansas? Yeah, you got me to laugh like that.

RB1...his spring is over but isnt there only like 1 practice and a scrimmage left?

 

[Page305]

15-Uh oh

Okay... Now this one.. this one is funny as ****. lmfao

 

[Angry Ibis]

How many posters will still ***** about Don not getting time in the scrimmage on Saturday?

You know it is coming....

 

[Trav]

I mentioned in my nuggets post Don only played two snaps and left for precautionary reasons. Well it’s been brought to my attention somebody ran with that and did some digging. So I’ll just say he’s out with a shoulder injury , not the shoulder from last year and will not play Saturday. His spring is over.

Sucks.. but he's a young buck and plenty time to heal. Sieze the moment, Knighton.

 

[KrazyCane]

It’s good we have NFL talent level depth at RB and don’t have to run our best RB into the ground like USCe did with Marcus Lattimore.

Nah that was just a few mopes. Most everyone who watched his tape is excited about him coming in.

This made me lol cause you know it’s coming.

Chaney will be back by fall and will be the starter game 1.

 

[Marcelo2988]

Chaney n Knighton are both extremely talented but they are susceptible to the injury bug.

I would say all RBs are. They get hit a lot due to the nature of the position. It's normal

 

[AtlAtty]

I worry about the shoulder problem because he already had an injury to the other shoulder. One can't help but wonder if his shoulders are meant for the pounding they will receive with him playing RB. Maybe it's just a coincidence and I hope it is.

 

[hotshot]

Don's listed as 5'10, 208. Is that weight number exaggerated? If so, by what?
