Parrish to the portal

[BostonCanes47]

Didn’t a certain insider say recently that citizen has lost a step and the injuries took more of a toll on him than the staff expected?

Basically he’s a guy I have zero expectations for, whatever he contributes is a surplus.

1. Fletcher 2. Allen 3. CJ 4. Lyle 5. CWH. Not great!

 

[calinative umstudent]

Not surprising at all that he entered the portal

Miami vs Boston College

X is the man

Kid played hard and was our best back last year, wish him luck. That being said, we desperately need a stud veteran RB

If cam ward is who we make him out to be then the running backs will have room to operate regardless

glad Lyle was FINALLY mentioned,

If CJ2 gets 10 of the touches that were allotted to a guy like Parrish for this upcoming season, I don't think we will be disappointed.

What about the other 20 touches?

 

[CanesDynasty]

What about the other 20 touches?

111 touches in 11 games. I was making a point that CJ2 could get the touches Parrish got and we might see some of those 20 yard runs go for 60.

I think they're going to try to find another RB1/RB2 in the portal. Should look something like:

1. Fletcher
2. Portal
3. Citizen
4. CJ/Allen

They need to find someone better than Fletcher.

 

[Bunker Mentality]

Incredibly average with a 6.25 YPC which was a full yard better than every other RB and 2nd in the ACC. He’s not perfect but calling him that is beyond stupid.

defenses don't fear Parrish...

Mostly singles and the occasional double, but his ceiling is evident and he isn't the homerun threat we need next to Cam.

I choose to believe this is positive sign regarding citizen and fletcher.

My first thought, is Fletch ahead of schedule on his recovery?

Good luck getting that answer.

Chaney went to Louisville months ago.

Sorry, I meant Parrish. Chaney is the other RB that I wish had stayed. My bad

OK, now this is a very interesting tweet.

This is the story of our season. If Cam Ward is HIM...none of this other **** matters. The WRs will look like All-Conference, fringe All-Americans. The RBs will eat and be All-Conference considerations. The OL will have more than one All-American on it and probably a late season award finalist on it.

Henry Parrish is my dude. I've always liked him. My take on him in HS was a home run. He'd be our best back this year, and he'd prove it by leading the team in ypa again, despite probably not leading in attempts. But he's not going to matter to our success this year. Its Ward. That's it.

Ajay Allen kind of gives you the same skillset. Very similar runners. Maybe a little less savvy and runs with a little more oomph, maybe gives you 80 cents on the dollar of Henry Parrish. We'll be ok, I think.

 

[QuattroCane]

I wish him well, but IMO RB's are going the way of NFL RB's, you don't need a stud to win. Interesting comment from Mario about him leaving as well.

Im not saying he is but somehow he managed to be better than any other back on the current roster and have the highest YPC in the ACC.
Who in the backfield strikes fear?

 

[NCCanefan]

Sorry he's leaving. No super star but really solid stats. If you look at the last few years, you better have 3-4 guys ready to go who you have confidence in to pass protect and run the ball effectively.

 

[JG14]

This RB issue should have been resolved during the first portal window. The staff knew Fletcher and Citizen were going to be limited, and we had chaney transfer. My assumption is that the quality of rbs that hit the portal post spring will be limited

What if the guy they wanted wasn't in the portal yet?

OK, now this is a very interesting tweet.

Welp, now it's obvious someone is lined up.
