Looks small. He will be redshirted for sure.

Let's see how much he puts on this summer, but with Ware being a monster. You're more than likely correct.

He looks small but fearless. He is not a bad inside runner. He looks very quick.

Gore is a work in progress.

He's not a very good inside runner.

He will be a situational back.

Looks like a returner, change of pace type back. Thought he looked good for this type of back.

Gore may need a redshirt, but he's not near as small as some on here seem to think. Gore is 5'10, 175. He's pretty well put together. He certainly needs to add some weight, but he's by no means fragile.

He looked like a guy with true running back instincts, he knew when to cut and was very good at finding a hole. I liked that when he hit the hole he hit it at full speed, which he seemed to get to very quickly.

The one thing I really noticed about Gore that i didn't see in any other film was how fast he hits the hole. It is absolutely unbelievable how fast he gets through the hole which a great skill to have for a RB.

You mean skinny like Sheppard, the guy that everyone thinks should have played every down?

He may redshirt, may not. Recruiting is by no means an exact science, but one thing I look for is how did they do against top competition. Watching some kid tear up a 1A league doesn't fill me with a ton of confidence, but when you excel against some pretty stout high school competition, you can probably play. Gore put up some insane YPC numbers in the biggest league in the Miami area, so while I think that 40 time, height etc are important if you can tear up arguable the best high school competition in the land, you can play.
As far as RB goes, we've done well. Ford set numerous records in La., Gore excelled in one of Floridas hardest areas and Ware competed in a hard Ohio district. I'm more confident about that kind of pedigree than some kid with a alleged 4.3 time from a 1A school in bumfrick South Dakota.
We'll be fine with RB for quite some time.
