2018 Roster Up

[shu 49]

That's great and all, but he doesnt need more beef. He was optimal last year. He needs to maintain his speed and flexibility .

I trust the strength coaches working with him. If they allow him to gain strength and size then he must have good shoulder mobility. If it was hurting him they would slow down. These guys know what they are doing.

 

[JHarris44]

I understand but he was promised a legit shot at rb here at CUSE. He was offered as a db at Michigan. Wanted a shot at rb. Never got that.

How do you know that for certain? I have to think practice counts as a shot to prove yourself in the top 3. Case in point: Jordan Fredericks. For all we know, he saw himself as 4th or 5th (including Adams for next year) and in order to get on the field more, was agreeable to the position change. Of course unless there's more info the general public doesn't know.

How do you know? Were you at practice every day?

I'd argue a full season at the position should be considered "a shot at RB". If he was good enough to play RB at a D1 level he'd still be there.

I'm not sure who may pop up as available players (JUCO, Grad Transfer) at this juncture, but it would seem that we can still add multiple bodies if Dino and crew find any late gems. Roster without walk-ons appears to be about 80 by my count.

 

[Trueblue25]

Excited as I expect BIG years from Strickland, Pierce, Johnson and either cam jordan or devin c

That was a big part of his recruitment. He basically turned down UM bc he stood firm at wanting to play rb in college and we promised him that shot . I understand it's just that , a SHOT.

Actually yes , i was, but we were asked to leave after the first 15 minutes of practice , no wise guy, it was simply reported during his recruitment. Go back and read. When you land a kid that had UM offering him for his DB services and he picks us, it's obvious .

I'm well aware of his recruitment and promises made. You said he was never given a shot at RB which infers a promise broken.

Just because he didn't get carries in games doesn't mean he wasn't given plenty of opportunities in practice.
