Barry Sanders Jr.

[tuharvard]

Sorry if I missed any discussion regarding his transfer from Stanford, but I couldn't find anything on the boards. Was curious to see if we've shown any interest? He would obviously be a great pickup, and immediately eligible as a graduate transfer (at least I think so). It still upsets me that we just missed having his father in a TU uniform, so it would be a little consolation to have the younger version on campus, if only for a year haha.

Thanks Bill! I don't watch any of that Pac-Whatevs Conference. I probably would if Colorado was ever relevant again. But that seems unlikely in this century.

 

[TU_BLA]

He's going to end up in Stilly and have a chance to play a lot with the lack of
Production from their RBs last year.

 

[chito_and_leon]

Stanford had a freshman who passed Sanders as #2 on the depth chart behind McCaffery.
