I wonder why...I liked Thad, he was tough to tackle at times (in limited work). Chaney I know is a question mark regarding health, but Parrish just screams a watered down Knighton to me. If someone disagrees, totally cool hearing another opinion, just my initial thoughts; I'm fine with stacking talent, but someone is transferring out - no way Brown or Thad are sticking around as the potential 5th option.

The depth is bad especially with how guys leave. You saw it first hand last year. Parrish is a good player and a perfect fit. If his rb coach wants to bring him that tells me everything.

I mentioned other day Mario was very unhappy with the Rb room depth , so a portal kid was happening. They’re also pushing hard for a HS rb. In ‘23 I’d expect two .

I missed that. **** I totally understand with being unhappy with the depth at rb and definitely agree with taking a transfer. We have the room for it.

Parrish and Knighton are very different players.

Parrish is a far superior runner. Better vision, instincts, and more fluid in his movements. Knighton is the better athlete. Faster, stronger, more explosive. I think you'd have a really good mix of styles with those 2, Thad, and Chaney.

I definitely like him over Brown, so cool with it after your synopsis. Thanks for the insight.

Here are their stats from 2020-2021 with P5 games only:

Cam Harris- 153 carries, 727 yards, 4.75 yards per carry
Jaylan Knighton- 188 carries, 711 yards, 3.78 yards per carry

The facts tell a different story than the narrative. I think Knighton is a better player because he's so dangerous as a receiver. But as a runner, both Knighton and Chaney lag behind to this point. Hopefully it changes because they are more talented.

I think all the guys coming back are talented and with an improved oline and if the passing game can remain strong with the young receivers all the backs should improve on these numbers

Agree. I like the receiving option Parrish brings. Perfect fit.

Glad Mario sees how terrible our depth is in some key spots. No reason for a Miami team to have 3 healthy RB and 4 total RB. 5-6 is the numbered needed here

Let the weakest player leave. That’s how it works at big programs. Can’t go into next year with 3 healthy RB
 
I'm just gonna state imo I've always wanted Parrish he's not the biggest fastest or strongest but dude is a solid RB! Chaney is a question mark till proven otherwise, I love Knighton but he's not a feature back so it would leave plenty carries for Parrish! And RIGHT NOW he's better than Thad and Brown! Please come home my boy!!!

shouldn't we have about 6 serviceable RBs (serviceable being the lowest quality of any of them) in order have sufficient quality depth?

Yep. I keep saying Mario wants playmakers not bodies. He will not fill out a roster with jags or guys he doesn't expect to help down the road. He will pocket a spot and save it before he adds a bum for numbers sakes. Rb is a physical position and mix that with guys leaving in the portal he knew he needed bodies.
