If this has been answered already I apologize, but I don't follow recruiting that much.

If this guy is the "#1 RB in California," how in the world is he only a four-star recruit?

I also think there is no need to redshirt both Newby and Taylor. In fact, I want and think both should play this year. If I were the coaches (which I clearly am not), I would consider redshirting Heard and moving him back to CB. Then split Heards 15% between Cross, Taylor and Newby. RB is not a position that needs to be redshirted every year. We don't want to become Boise State, where we redshirted every player that comes through the door. Let the play-makers play! JMHO

I agree. That's why I thing Martinez, AA and Heard should get most of the carries.

Wait a minute.

On one hand Lions says to let the player makers play meaning don't redshirt them. Then, he says we should redshirt someone who has proven on the field he can be a pretty darn good RB and knows the offense.

This is the problem I always have with the crowd that says..."The young play makers should be on the field". Well, the same thing was being said about Heard when he was a Freshman. So....are we always going to play freshmen and set upper classmen on the bench?

 
Another player that is being left out of this discussion is King Frazier. He supposedly was good enough that he could have received a scholarship from other programs but decided to walk on at Nebraska. Once he was here, all I heard was how everyone was impressed with him him practice.

 
TBH, I feel Frazier was a bit overhyped because he was a walkon. He had offers to the Dakota schools, but that was about it.

 
Heard should NOT move back to DB.....Heard will be contesting for starting RB. He's that good.

Only thing I can think of is his offer list, it's nice, but not terribly impressive nationally and no USC offer.

My guess is if TNew were 6'1" and 205, he'd have that 5th *
 
Per Scout:

Justin Davis 5* committed to USC. Stockton, CA #6 overall RB

Terrell Newby 4* committed to NU West Hills, CA #17 overall RB

So I guess he would be #2 in state

 
Its because USC has offered and recieved Ty Issac commitment. This dude is huge and sneaky fast! Ive watched him play for 3 years now! Had 535 and 7 TDs against Jordan Westermans team in the state finals 2 years ago! 6-3 220ish coming out of high school. Jr. stats 178 carries 2114 yards and 45 TDS.

 
He didn't started getting noticed til mid-senior season. Thats when the schools like UCLA, and Oregon really started to put the heat on him.

My guess is just that he started of at such a low rating that if they bumped him up to a 5 star it would have looked bad for them. This guy is a stud. Adding him and Adam to our backfield gives us the deepest backfield in the nation IMO.

very well could be true. With the stable of backs we have, I honestly don't think he is going to see much playing time if any at all unless there is multiple injuries. However, he could be one of those guys if ever given the chance, he could really surprise the world.

Didn't Ty Isaac open up his recruitment lately?
