Elliott, Conner and Ballard are the only 3 listed as RB on the spring roster. Perkins is listed a WR. Do we have any freshmen coming in that can play immediately?

Thats how many we used last year in Dixon, Ducre, and Stallworth.

Add in Relf and that gives you 4 options to spread it evenly.
Mark it though...Conner is a beast waiting for his chance to make it mark.

"The offense will be more effective."

I am not fighting a semantics battle over AD's personality, stiff-arm ability, bulldozing ability, leaping people, or his rushing stats.

The offense will be better this year. Bank on it.

to make some plays...the absolute only reason he RS'ed was because we had 3 Sr's and Elliot last year...

He'll learn to block this Spring- but don't worry about him with the ball in his hands

Isn't listed as a an athlete.

But think about this personnel group- skill players only.

QB- Relf

X- Micheal Carr
Y- Leon Berry
H- Marcus Green
Z- Chad Bumphis
U?- LaDarius Perkins

And then we can mix and match at RB with Elliott, Ballard, and Conner. All Relf has to do is learn how to throw a screen pass to Bumphis, Perkins, and Heavens and we'll be set.

We have some pretty legit athletes at the skill positions.
