Getting crowded at RB
- Thread starter inWV
- Start date
Plus Miles Jones and Wyatt Mazour. I think Wilbon and possibly Ozigbo will be the odd guy(s) out, before Bradley. I think Bradley is better and he is younger.
Injuries are a big part of the game and Frost likes to use a lot of backs in his system. If they are good, they will get on the field.
Scott and Ryan Held wanted Bradley out of high school at UCF. Also, don't forget that Wilbon and Ozigbo are seniors this year.
I believe it is a nice problem to have a multitude of high quality players to choose from at a specific position. I bet Coach Frost and all of the assistants can’t wait until this becomes a problem for at all positions on the football field. Winking
That would be a huge surprise to me honestly. He was setting up for a battle for the starting spot or at least in the top RB rotation.
And I’d be completely stunned if it was Bell that suddenly left the team or was shown the door...he’s the best shot at starting RB along with Tre Bryant (if his knees are 100%).
Now that sounds more like it.
I do wonder now that Maurice Washington is a fully qualified RB for this year, if this may be the reason Thomas Grayson is looking around again?? Meaning maybe we where going for 3 RBs this class as a back up for the loss of MW if it happened??
And here it appeared he was going all out in the gym and doing everything he could to lock up that starting spot for this season. Hopefully your use getting info backwards here.
Would not surprise me about Wilbon. Little surprised about Bell if true. But it's to be expected. You've basically got 3 coaching staff's worth of players that are all in one place under a coaching staff that are hardcore about football. Trying to find the right pieces and who the coaches can trust on the field will take time. There will be some healthy attrition this year.
This should be an interesting year. Devine has shown that he's a gamer when the lights are on. He's the guy till proven wrong IMO. We've definitely got the talent coming in to help build for the future.
I can't wait for the season to kickoff!!!

And don't forget about Moses Bryant. He will probably play CB, where there is greater need, but he can also play RB.
Then our running game will be average.
We need to move on from all the Rbs here before Frost.
Play the New guys. Big picture has to be looked at THIS year.
This is exactly the problem that Reggie Davis did not want to have to deal with...
I wonder how Held is going to handle it...

Ozigbo can play a role on this team in the backfield and not have our running game be considered "average". I'm not suggesting that he is an every down homerun kind of player, but he has a knack of finding openings and getting tough yards. That can be important, specifically around the goal line.
The failures from the offensive line and our offensive coordinator played a huge role in our ground game problems.
I don't disagree with this. I am not a big fan of Ozigbo or Wilbon. That said.... we would have lost to Purdue last year were it not for Ozigbo on that last drive.
I've always thought Ozigbo has been undervalued with what he brings to the table...
He might of had some ankle issues his Sophomore year but I think it was more a Langs problem.
Wilbon is gonzo, so I wouldn’t worry about that one.
Can anyone confirm if it’s a rumor about Bell? Or is it a rumor about Wilbon?
Well the rumors about Wilbon have been going on for almost a month now so where there's smoke, there's fire. Plus he looks 20 lbs over weight and has never really done anything before so I could see Wilbon being the odd man out. Bell tho?? First i've heard anything negative about him.
This is funny but what the hell was Davis doing? His recruiting phone must’ve been covered in cobwebs and dust.

Wilbon will be at camp and will be on the roster, per Frost at the presser.
