why?We will have to wait until February, or even later here. Would have helped tremendously if he only had the option to sign tomorrow.
hmm... you say that often.
His bag is too small for his cat?hmm... you say that often.
Sorry. It seems to be some type of NCAA clearinghouse issue at this point, but not sure the exact issue.hmm... you say that often.
AFAIK, Bish is still at RB.This would be huge. He could eat the bulk of the carries while deploying our new weapons at RB acquired from TX. Is Beau still viewed as a potential running back? I thought he was moved to a special teams/LB role.
Article states he'll sign in February. I thought JUCO signees had until 1/15?
Visiting the weekend of the 26th.
192 carries for 1211 yards and 14 TDs this season for Independence.He posted a tweet about CU again today. This is a huge want for me. Dude would make an immediate impact. Don't know much about his JUCO career, but was highly regarded coming out of high school.
The thing I've learned to look for with RB highlights (D Scott vs R Stewart is what taught me this) is that the thing to discount is when you see the RB doing nothing but outrunning guys to the corner and scoring touchdowns untouched or blowing through gaping holes and running to the end zone. Yeah, that means the guy is explosive and fast, but that's not necessarily going to translate to P5 football.I like this kid. Looks quick to the hole. His OL opened huge holes, hope we can do that for him.
Did not see him breaking a lot of tackles (didn't have to) in his highlights!
He gets the edge on those outside runs, wondering if he can still do that against the PAC speed.
Looks thin at 200lb, would like to see him about 210-220 and keep that speed and reaction time.

What I most look for now is patience with reading blockers and the ability to make quick cuts with good burst after the RB has shown the good vision and field awareness. If he can do that, he can gain a lot of yards at this level. Boyd does that. I loved some of those jump cuts in traffic to find the initial hole on his highlights.
Agree. He has good feet and sees the field well. My concern (only cause none of the highlights showed it) is the ability to put nose down and get 3 tough yards. This is no nock on him whatsoever. His line opened huge holes and blocked very well down field. Without rehashing our OL issues, he is going to need to be able to get some tough short yards on his own. Can he do it? Once again I am not saying he cant, just didn't see it. Of course those kinds of plays don't make a great highlight reel.The thing I've learned to look for with RB highlights (D Scott vs R Stewart is what taught me this) is that the thing to discount is when you see the RB doing nothing but outrunning guys to the corner and scoring touchdowns untouched or blowing through gaping holes and running to the end zone.

That's the difference between what we see and what the coaches see. While maybe the most important thing for a RB is consistently turning a 1 or 2 yard gain into a 3-5 yard gain, it's not exactly the thing that highlights are made of.Agree.
