I don't see that we have any RB recruits committed. I thought that the pokes would be recruiting some hard.

I really liked the kid we are redshirting this year from Illinois. His film was really impressive.

We've offered 3 currently uncommitted 3-star RBs, the top of those being Jeremy Banks (who's close to being rated 4 stars). The others are Lawrence Johnson and Chuck Wick. We've also offered 2-star back Jevon Bigelow.

Xzavian Valladay? I liked his film, too. I kept waiting for the week when we broke him out of the glass case. Nope. Rolled with Try Woods all dang year.

Hopefully there will be a better power run game next year. Looks like we have 3 interior offensive lineman committed and 2 offers still out there. Over time there would probably need to be 3-5 new recruits each year, so we may be done for this year.

Overstreet is a good back and will continue to get better. I’m not sold that we need a freshman rb next year. Hell, milo is probably solid. I think they struggled about as much as the O line did to run block. Not a good combo

Agreed. I liked what I saw from Overstreet, at least in the second half of the season. If Hall can be a good back up, we'll be set.

Shift Woods over to WR, though. He has good speed, size, and hands, but is NOT a RB.

Woods could go to TE maybe? He definately has good catching ability.

Super stoked for Theo Dawson. He should be on campus next season and looked legit in his tape. I think we’ll be ok moving forward. And I love the idea of Woods to TE. He could be a matchup nightmare

I'm excited for Theo as well. I'm hoping Mike Green can add something since he was a top 50 recruit in California. I think he can add a steady power run game as well.
