Clemson RB Transfering

[mizzourazorback]

Do you think Morris will try to go after this one?

yeah, yeah I do

Morris was one of his lead recruiters, but I doubt it. Not sure we have a spot for him to be totally honest. Bielema handing out scholarships like they were candy is not going to help, either. I could see a scenario where Maleek moves back to WR and Morris brings in Fuller, though.

I was thinking the exact same thing

[Pig in the Pokey]

we probably COULD have him, and if we hadnt signed the higher rated Boyd may have. But a 3* 85 rated RB would be like 5th or 6th on our depth chart, which is probably what he was trying to avoid. Too many 4*s here for all that.

[WaltonCollege]

We need linemen, WE. NEED. LINEMEN!!!

[Flrazrback]

We are pretty well stacked at RB... The call for Linemen is Priority

[Snout team]

Unless he knows we are likely to lose a RB to transfer.

[Hopeful Hog]

I read that earlier today and had the same thought but like others have mentioned I don't see the space for him. With Whaley, Hayden, Hammonds, Boyd, M. Williams, and possibly Barkley he probably wouldn't want to transfer into a room like that when the reason he's transferring in the first place is because he lost his job and didn't want to be depth.

[Hopeful Hog]

Unless he knows we are likely to lose a RB to transfer.

Even if that's the case we still would be carrying 5 RB's. Let's just say M. Williams transfers and we move both Barkley and Hammonds to WR full time he'd still have to go through Whaley, Hayden, and Boyd for ANY play time. Like I said on another response he's transferring out of Clemson because he lost his starting role and didn't want to be just depth.

[pigture perfect]

The upside to him coming here would be that he would already be familiar with the system.

[Hogindasticks]

That's why I thought that QB that left Clemson would look at us.

They are going to beat the darn out of the offense in spring ball. Watch and see. That's why they want depth...

if you listened to Morris' recruiting class press conference he said he likes to have "at least" 5 RB's on the roster with Boyd we are exactly at 5.  I could see this guy coming here.  Morris also said that "'we aren't done" that we could add 2 or 3 more we will see.  Maybe this guy is one of the little surprises you dont expect.

one thing was clear though this staff is really high on Boyd.

Very unlikely that any of our RBs move to WR.  I think CCM said we have 13 wrs, and he likes to carry 11.  I believe if they moved, it would be to a place where there are short lines on defense.

Much like I only bang 9s or 8s but doesn't mean a solid 4 can't the job done! Just saying

Not by my count. Whaley, Hayden, Hammonds, Williams, Barkley, and Boyd  makes 6.

well if it was me I would feel there is more than a good chance that CJ would find his way here but obviously who knows.  Whaley  Hayden and Hammonds sure the other two are unknowns and if you heard the new coaches talk about Boyd it seems like they feel he might be the best of the bunch they sure thought he was the best RB for A&M before he went to JC.

Doesn't he have to sit out a year, or is he a grad transfer?

No you're right he'd have to sit out a year.

[Hogforlife]

No you're right he'd have to sit out a year.

Dabo Swinney said he would graduate this spring then find a school to finish his career. He will be able to play immediately.

He does know the offense, we just moved a WR to the RB room and CCM was talking about possibly signing 1 OR TWO more... This could get interesting.
