'20 LA RB Ashaad Clayton (SIGNED to COLORADO)
- Thread starter WasianCU
- Start date
not yet.
Ashaad opted out of the bowl game with KMIII. KD believes they are coming back in the spring. I'll believe it when I see it, I'm not keeping my fingers crossed after his improper usage this year.

I don't think before I post
I'm not convinced he was used improperly. Broussard was clearly the better player and I don't think any of us are aware of how they did in practice, film room quizzes, etc. I would have liked to seen him take the number 2 spot away from everyone else and run with it but there appears to be a rotation there between the next 3 guys. I didn't get to see a lot of him but Clayton looked the best of those three in the minimal amount of work they all got. It's a bizarre choice for him to choose to skip this game. There should be enough carries for both of them next year but with Fontenot coming back this RB room is super full of talent right now.
Davis must be a hell of a quiz taker.

I am hoping he is back (most obvious sentiment) and believe that although he didnt get much run this year some part of Ashaad has to be encouraged by the success Brou has had this year. And the Buffs had to boot.
On the sidelines Ashaad seemed to be gregarious with his teammates and I am hopeful that he is making a decision to be home with his family and refresh his system.
COVID has been a mind **** for most of us and I cant blame the kid for needing some time off.

Nobody in their right mind is debating Broussard over him. The debate is should he have been the 2nd guy up-and the answer there is yes. Only thing that could change that is something we don't know.

A true frosh transferring due to not getting enough backup carries in 5 game season (in which he was injured in training camp) would be ridiculous. I can see wanting to hang at home an extra few weeks instead of going to bowl and getting 2 carries.
I think the frustration we fans had and I'd expect he shares is that his usage went down to give snaps to someone who was a JAG who did the job as drawn up but never made a play. Clayton showed he can make plays.

I don't think he's gone, and didn't say anything about him leaving in my post. I am questioning Davis being 2nd guy up in that rotation.

Are you talking about those 3 yard td runs against a D that gave up 300 yards to our starting RB?
I hope Clayton’s awesome. He will have every opportunity to prove it next year.
Yes. Showed he could make short yardage plays to score a couple TDs and then still averaged 4.4 per carry. Davis averaged 1.8 yards per carry after averaging 2.2 last year - and has yet to score a touchdown. It seems to be a pretty easy decision to play the more productive guy, especially when he has a much higher ceiling, no?

I don't agree with AC's usage and he should have played before Davis and got more carries, but you are correct in that it was a 5 game season. I'm not sure what decision AC will make in coming back, but I try not to read too much into it, until the decision is made. IMO, unless the coaching staff were going to agree to feature him (like 10 carries) in the bowl game, the option of permitting him to go home a few weeks is not a bad thing. I think for the rest of the Frosh or RS-Frosh, who would not see the field very much (ie. not in the two deep, or three deep--I do think any team has to bring a three deep) it is a good option, unless of course the player wants to attend the bowl game. I see how this CoVid would be tough for any Frosh being away from home the 1st time, especially an emotional kid, and it could be KD & staff way to show understanding of the overall circumstances. I think it will eventually shake out...
Also, someone will remind me that AC opted out. Certainly, that is the reporting and the official line; but the question is whether he opted out with the blessing of the KD/staff and the team, given the overall circumstances, and that is not known unless someone is privy to the back and forth.

I am assuming that is exactly it. Maybe Davis knows what the audibles are, where to pick up blitzes, etc... so the coaching staff rewarded him with some carries. I think Clayton is the better talent. I'm just guessing why Davis is getting some carries. Also can Clayton run pass patterns? I'm not sure I saw him run any this year. I think Davis did.
Broussard / Fontenot / Clayton would be our best RB depth chart in a long time. I hope he stays because I'd much rather see Broussard get longer breaks on the sideline after busting off those long runs.

There was a post on the CFB subreddit saying he announced his transfer via Instagram but I don’t see it?
He put Jason Harris’ transfer on his IG

I mean, they have a slightly better recruiting class than us, but really want to transfer to an 0-9 team?
hopefully Drew Wilson's departure won't affect too much, he used to work at Kansas, so who knows if he'll land there next

was an assistant at KU prior to that, just a random connection with likely no real influence

Just to be clear, this is a picture he posts a bunch on his stories. It’s a friend from Louisiana, Pooka Williams who is entering the NFL draft this year.
