I think the problem is those type of guys will transfer multiple times. They’re one trick ponies and gadget guys. They’re not going to be premier players/starters. It takes guys like that buying into their role. I hope nothing but the best for the kid, but I just don’t see him being an every down back at the P4 level
I wish CJ the best of luck. Hope he finds the right home
I'm a little worried about our RB depth. We might lose 3 RBs and we only have 1 coming in
Good
He want even a recruiting battle. Bama wanted Pringle bad. And osu wanted fletcher and Lyle’s bad.
Fletcher, Lyle, and Pringle

and he1l cat but thats it. We need another 1. Maybe Lofton going to get some snaps but that room can be really thin real quick
RB is going to be a revolving door position for depth. Too many guys and not enough touches. Honestly, the rotation we had this year is close to ideal. 2 guys featured and a young guy sprinkled in with touches. Martinez leaves and moves to Fletcher, Lyle, and Pringle getting some touches like Lyle did. But you need to continuously add in a guy or two for depth( that will be used sparingly if at all). RB will be fine.
We still have Chris Wheatley Humphrey. Maybe they find another back in the portal. Just a tough position to keep solid depth at.
We'll likely grab a depth piece. Someone with multiple years of eligibility and good upside.
I just wanna avoid what happen in 2022 when we lost 4 running backs to injuries and we were down to a walk on RB getting carries. 2023 we were dealing with injuries thru out the whole season, everybody was in or out. 2023 Chaney played in the most games out of our RBs and that was Chaney!! 2024 we actually avoided what we saw in 2022 and 2023 with only minor injuries but for all 12 games we had our main backs.

Wasn't it a battle with ole miss?
Agreed, but how do you keep the 5th string rb happy if he’s any good? 1 of the 500 reasons this era of CFB is impossible to manage
This guy knows talent FYI. Will he become another Brashad Smith?
We should all get used to these transfers. It’s not as if Johnson didn’t earn any playing time. Whose carries is he going to take? Martinez and Fletcher get the bulk of the carries. AJ and Lyle split the change of pace role. What exactly does Johnson do better than anybody than anybody ahead of him the depth chart, other than run faster in straight line? Are we gonna miss a 6 foot 180 pound running back?
Chris Johnson didn’t exactly light CFB on fire with his return abilities. Returning were his big chance to contribute and he was average. Unless you can jump over the people ahead of you at your position you’ve got to make your mark on special teams or leave.

How about the RB at WVU who was a TE at Gulliver HS?
With time you never know. Look what Smith did with SMU this year
If he enters that would be nice

Smith was far more polished and along then either of them.
Was Clemson haha but I would assume Ole miss will get involved here
Why may we lose 3? In that case I'd expect us to hit the portal for a 4th.
I think it's just because we have been talking/watching Brashard SMith and others leave Miami and have great careers elsewhere...
