2023 RB Mark Fletcher (commits to OSU* & De-Commits)

[Shooter McGavin]

You can’t keep taking transfers everywhere plus I doubt Knighton leaves. If he was planning on leaving he probably would’ve packed it in like 22.

Knighton, Parrish, Citizen, Chaney, high school rb, portal rb?

Knighton, Parrish, Citizen, Chaney, high school rb, portal rb?

Today i‘d say yes to this

 

[canecrazy23]

all of this talk about a big, fast back reminds me of the loss of Citizen this year. He would have been spectacular and obvious was much needed.

Maybe but there is a faster back ahead of him and he's finally healthy.

Knighton, Parrish, Citizen, Chaney, high school rb, portal rb?

I said I would take Fletcher & Jones. 2 high school RBs.

 

[canecrazy23]

Next season we will lose Stanley. High probability we lose Thad. And seems likely 1 of Knighton/Chaney also transfers out.

Picking up 2 RBs would give us fewer RBs next year than this year. Honestly may need to take 2 freshmen + 1 transfer if we lose 3 guys.

2022	2023
Parrish	Chaney
Citizen	Citizen
Chaney	Parish
Knighton	Transfer RB
Franklin	Freshmen RB
Stanley

I could also see Seven McGee being a WR that can fill in as a scat back that can take some carries if we get hit with bad luck again.

Fixed

 

[Cribby]

We’ll definitely be taking a look at the portal for a possible rb. If we take one you can believe they’re worth it.

 

[JHallCanes]

We’ll definitely be taking a look at the portal for a possible new team

Yeah

Why not ? If you’re upgrading it shouldn’t be a problem.

 

[Bunker Mentality]

So what are the chances of us taking 3 RBs lol (Johnson, Baxter, and Fletcher). I mean I think it's entirely reasonable that only Citizen and Parish return.
RB is a position where I don't really ever want us taking a portal dude. I'd rather get HS guys tbh. I mean every once in a while if fine, but not really necessary.

That entire room needs to change. We need difference-making, program-changing bell-cow RBs to pound the rock and strike fear in opposing defenses.

The goal should be to elevate the room from weakness to strength and identity of this football team.

 

[HurricanePhilly]

I think OSU is going to make a huge run at Owens. Louisville has done better then expected but they are likely still looking at 7-6 if they win a bowl.

They are going to have a tough go of it the next 2-3 months is my guess now that teams are getting more aggressive.

 

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

I’d rather drag my **** through 10 miles of broken whiskey bottles than see your scorching hot takes

Knighton, Parrish, Citizen, Chaney, high school rb, portal rb?

If Parrish and Knighton are getting significant carries next year then we're in trouble.

on great point, game changers , Fletcher is a Alonzo Highsmith type power back that has a top end gear if he’s even he’s leaving.

Oh his back up is a thin hair below Fletcher 5 star quality.

If Fletcher is a 5*....then Baxter is a 7*

 

[GOCANES05]

If Fletcher is a 5*....then Baxter is a 7*

I’ve seen Fletcher play against some out of state top 10 teams and I just can’t imagine another RB that brings a total elite package .
It would be a drop the Microphone moment saying NO WAY IMPOSSIBLE.what I’m seeing if Baxter show’s that.

Question: are we in the game for Baxter?

 

[JHallCanes]

If Fletcher is a 5*....then Baxter is a 7*

I don’t think Fletcher looks all that great tbh

Not like he’s bad but I think he would be just another guy in the group. Citizen looks better to me but

 

[armandose23]

I think they have a chance with everyone on their priority list. December will be wild and Mario is an elite closer. Baxter is high on the priority list.

You gotta think this is Mario's favorite time of year. Some solid turkey on thanksgiving, crootin to ESD, and then Xmas baby. Hopefully Christmas comes a couple days early.

 

[Zbrod95]

Why not ? If you’re upgrading it shouldn’t be a problem.

What’s the point of taking a transfer when I can just take a kid like Jones? Thats 3-5 years plus elite speed. Why would I choose a guy that might touch the ball 10 times a game for a year compared to Jones.

 

[Brains]

Keep getting better and deeper at each position; I don't care whether it's though high school or portal. Better roster every year should be the goal.
