The Running Back Room

[84HuskerLaw]

Ibrahim from Minnesota is pretty good, and somebody at Wisconsin (Jalen Berger?) will probably run for more yards. Weirdly down year for RBs in the West though, and I think Mills is really solid so barring someone randomly and spectacularly breaking out you're probably right. Easy top 2 preseason anyway.

There are some pretty good players throughout the Big Ten.  Mills will have plenty of competition - even on his team.  A 400 yard rusher has a lot to prove. He could do well but he has not done it yet imo.  Hope we get to see him, atleast by fall 2021.  

 

[Head Coach Scott Frost]

With our WRs being so young and inexperienced we'll probably depend on him that much more, specifically early on in the season.  Makes me feel a lot better about our offense that we have a solid back with a returning Oline. If we had a full schedule, he would easily be a 1000 yard back.

Hasn't been cross-posted - we got another 3* kid with SEC offers to walk-on yesterday. I'll take that over random kids from C2 in Nebraska (sorry in advance for triggering the board)

this Yant kid sounds pretty talented....some of these running backs may end up as slot receivers, getting crowded in the room,

6 feet and wear your masks boys. Mills and Yant will be the thumpers we need.

I assume this is supposed to mean he's feeling close to normal.

The tweet isn't meant to be science the tweet is meant to be hype.

It also helps show that three year post Riley Debacle we have no offensive skill player recruited by all the great recruiters Riley had on staff.

Misleading at best.  The room has room for a couple more certainly as a great RB will have a real opportunity to play.  Its wide open for all comers is my point.

Misleading at best. 

Hype is inherently misleading by nature. That's why it's hype.

 

[Mavric]

Misleading at best.  

Actually, at best it is 100% accurate and a couple guys will transfer and have great careers elsewhere because the guys ahead of them are just that good.

Even last year, Spielman was the only offensive skill player of note left over from the Riley era.

Thats the point.  Hype sucks.  We dont want or need any when we are recruiting all the talent we can to rebuild our program.

Strikes me as someone who could be utilized more out in space vs between the tackles but will be interesting to see how they use him and to what degree whenever next season is.
