Richt not signing a Juco or other decent RB will jump up to bite us. RB is a position that needs depth.
Should we have signed the guy who wound up at Tarlton State? You don't add bums just to have more numbers. We have a 4 star freshmans who everyone wanted waiting in the wings as an emergency RB in case Walton, Homer and Gray go down.
I don't necessarily think that we should sign bums, but there were some fairly productive players in SF we passed on. We put all of our eggs on McFarley out in Maryland. And Burns, who hasn't played in 2 years.
I don't remember any UM quality RBs being available after McFartland screwed us at the last second. It's easy to say we never should have put our eggs in the McFartland basket, but they felt like they knew him.
Any of the last minute guys who were available weren't going to be any better than the emergency 4th stringer Deejay Dallas. We'd have to suffer horrible bad luck to wind up getting down to a 5th RB.
