The offense for 2026 is adding pieces that were missing last season, like a large body WR and maybe more speed.

Carsyn Baker could be the speed back that defenses in the SEC cannot catch.

I don't know if Carsyn will get any meaningful playing time but he could give Reed a new weapon.

Stats say he's close to Achane.

Wiggins is building a more diversified offense than Klein.

He is currently ~0.5 seconds per 100m slower than Achane was in his junior year. Bakers best 100m being a 10.61 with a 21.85 200m. Achane ran a 10.14 100m and a 20.2 200m. Now the very interesting thing is that in 2021, Achane ran a 21.34 200m.

Dude looks impressive. I'm a big fan of a good sized back with speed. Some much better than a small quick back for extended use.

The only man who ever stopped Achane was Jimbo. Baker even being close would be a big win for us.

Baker definitely doesn't have Achane speed, but almost no one does, and he doesn't need to. I think he will end up being an NFL back. He was a huge late pickup..

Each tenth of a second is 2 feet. He is 10' slower.

Devon Achane in High School - fastest 100 m time was 10.53

Can he stay healthy for an entire season?

Straight line speed is very important for backs, primarily in breakaway plays that become explosive. Achane's gift was to use his speed/quickness in the backfield to hit the hole before the DL even knew it was a running play.

I don't keep up with HS recruiting, so I won't claim to know much about Baker. That being said, comparing anybody to Achane is tough to live up to. Achane was unique in that he wasn't just the fastest man on the field, but a tough football player who happened to have elite speed. If we found another one of those, oh boy.

Arrington is closer to Achane speed I think. Edwards is also extremely fast. Elko has been recruiting speed.

I don't know if anyone has said this before but Achane is so fast that everyone else just looks a bit slower…
