Word is we’ll have a premier rb…

Prioritizing a RB over a CB is nonsense and borderline malpractice.

Malpractice? It has been stated here multiple the Top 3 (Brown, Porter, Richard) are set, they have a young CB (Stafford) they really like and plan to add another young CB with experience (Marshall kid?) in the Portal.

Priorities need to RB, LG, WR, 315+ DT, and S over CB

that top 3 has 2 unproven CBs (Richard and Brown). In todays college game, adding another starting CB that is hopefully better than DPJ or at least better than Brown and Richard, is more important than a RB.

This all could mean **** cause there may not be a starting caliber CB in the portal but a starting caliber RB in the portal.

And DT is more of a priority than LG

When did Fletcher get hurt?

When did Fletcher get hurt?

Bowl game. Was injured prior

Bowl game. Was injured prior

Oh ****, I didn't realize it was bad enough for him to miss 2024. He must of torn his Achilles or ACL.

What happened with Knighton in 2020? I thought he played all year or most of it at least.

He was stricken with a horrible case of fumblelitus

In a vacuum yes. But not when you need RB1 and already have 3-4 (dpe ding if you are viewing Powell as CB since he's primarily guna play nickel), at least solid CBs that the staff feels comfortable with

You are assuming a scenario that hasnt had a chance to play out yet. Be patient.

We need a cb and an another lb over rb . Maybe people need to rewatch the bowl game . Our lb was on skates and cbs was laughable

2023: Fletcher
2022: Citizen
2021: Franklin
2020: Knighton
2018: Lingard

That's brutal.

It’s a 40 year Canes’ RB tradition.

Been off the board for a while but has anyone with actually connections and knowledge confirmed that Fletcher is in fact out for next season? If so, thats a major bummer but this Oregon St RB would be a nice replacement if that were to happen

Why I love our fanbase - we seemingly only have one scholarship to give out to a portal transfer

Bruh our best running back is our freshman TE you don’t think that’s a red flag? We have 3 corners that can all be pretty good.

Not that I’ve seen but @calinative umstudent posted a good synopsis of typical Lisfranc injury recovery times here:

Scrimmage Notes

You ever noticed every year the most hyped up player always goes missing during the fall I don't know. Other than TVD, the hyped players last year were X, Kko, Bain, Mauigoa, Lee, Cohen, JW, KK, Porter. Kelly and LT got some love. Agude. Bobby Washington, Ray Ray. We all argued over whether...

With his lisfranc injury I hope they are able to get a stud rb so Fletcher doesn’t rush back and can truly heal up for next year

 

[E1k]

Hope you’re right man i been starving to see us have a dynamic game changing type rb. Feel like its been forever, its hella important in college. Look at all the top teams they usually have a rb who routinely makes big plays

Its a Lisfranc, apparently.
