Stars get thrown out the window once the kids step on campus.
They have a very strong group of rbs.

Bussey was BenMalena2.0...sucks if he hung up his spikes...

Which RB will get the most carries behind Trayveon Williams?

Heaven forbid you mention Cullen Gillespia on this thread. I was admonished that he is NOT a running back on another thread.

Excuse me, but if you are a back that, by rule, runs the ball, you ARE a running back, i.e., a back who runs the ball.

As for the 2018 class, we signed one four star APB in Corbin and two three star backs in Prince and Strong.

Therefore, we only have two 4-star running backs on our roster right now.

---

And might I remind you that Strong had an Alabama offer (8 SEC offers) and is a big back. I could see him getting playing time with his speed/size combo.

I hope Kibodi gets a chance. I really like how he runs the ball.

I have a feeling both kibodi and Bussey get passed pretty quickly. We took a 5 man running back haul for a reason. Fisher saw a great need to upgrade talent and depth. Only Williams really gets talked about so I think it's pretty clear the staff is wanting the fish to step up and push forward

I expect one top 3 to be Williams and 2 of the fish

If I'm really being honest Bussey and kibodi off the team by 2019, or change of position

Hip injury this spring. He said in May that it felt better. Don't know what he decided. Hope he recovers completely!
He is a good man of the Lord. Prayers are with him.

Yeah I hope Bussey sticks around too. Good kid and I always liked the effort he brought on game day

I doubt they ever give the ball to Gillespia other than goal line situations. Maybe 3rd and 1 or 4th and inches, but that's about it.

---

I'm calling it now. 1st play of the year will be fullback dive or short pass to tight end. No one will see either it coming.

---

FIFY

Didn't work so well against Wake Forest in the bowl game.

ABrandoC, with all due respect, what are you talking about?

Kibodi was a three star and has only appeared in four games for 119 yards.

Bussey was a three star, had limited action last season, and may not even be on the team anymore as he is not listed on the Spring 2018 roster.

Etwi only played in two games for 77 yards last season.

As for the 2018 class, we signed one four star APB in Corbin and two three star backs in Prince and Strong.

Therefore, we only have two 4-star running backs on our roster right now.

How exactly does this make us the "deepest at running back that we've ever been"? How long have you been following Aggie football?

---

Stars.......LOL

---

And Josh_Ag99 has no stars.

I'd go with Greg Hill, Rodney Thomas, Leeland McElroy and Detron Smith blocking for them. That's depth.

Most recent was Cyrus Gray, C-Mike, and Ben Melena

There are so many different sets you could use in A&M history that are on par with each other. I even think Sumlin had some quality RB combos that he just underutilized.


That's beside the point.

I think Strong will be getting carries. Corbin will be an APB in passing downs.

What is RB depth? I've always been satisfied with three guys, but Coach Pruitt at Tennessee commented at SEC Media days that four to six RB's are necessary in SEC play. He has many years at coaching in SEC. additionally; a high school football coach and friend of my son states that Vernon Jackson from Boling is the BEST high school football player he's ever seen. Vernon Jackson will be playing either defense or offense. He's that good. Currently A&M has Traveon, Etwi; Kibodi,Strong, Corbin and Jackson. I consider this very good depth.
Just my two cents

Etwi is never going to play.

Why do you think that?

Because he'll be passed by multiple true freshmen now that we have bodies at the position

Are you still butthurt that you were called out for not knowing the difference between a running back and a FB?

Darren Lewis, Randy Simmons, Keith McAfee with Robert Wilson and Doug Carter at FB.

Curtis Dickey, Johnny Hector, Earnest Jackson, George Woodard.

Etwi split a lot of reps with Williams in the spring. I think he's got the best chance to back up Williams.

You're forgetting the freshman. I'm sure things will change after fall practice

i don't care who totes the ball. it's gonna be awesome just watching whoever it is run behind a fullback!
