and a LOT of people here will be mad....

Couldn't help but notice the size of Kenny Hilliard, a senior in HS this year. Powerback tendancies... am I the only person that sees the pheramone trail going to Miles nose for power backs?

Uh, Rueben Randle started last year. Jefferson started at the end of '08. It's not uncommon to have one true frosh starters per year.

But there's no way that a true frosh Hilliard beats out Ridley, Ford, Ware, and Gore.

Ridley just fumbled a 2-3 times and is starting once again this week, you really think Hilliard will start over him as a freshman when Ridley is a senior?

He does like power backs, but Hilliard will not start next year.

You missed that part. We just started out those games in 3-WR which is why he started. Base formation, which includes 2 WRs typically, he was not considered a "Starter"

Mile's does like "seniority", but I think his ultimate hard on is for size. If we had a 300lb running back that was 16 years old with a waiver, Miles would play him.

Per the website he was. Besides we were in the 3 wide sets almost all the time last year.

Seems like there was the exact same discussion about Ford during his senior year. See how that's worked out.

Eh, more than usual because we didnt have a FB. But we were in Ace set a lot too with 2-TE, 2-WR. Typically, our "Base" formation is I or Ace.

When was the last time we started a balanced or speed back over a powerback on a regular basis? Ridley lined up at fullback against UNC, wouldn't be surprised if he moved back to fullback next year with Ware developing and Hilliard comming in. Why do we even recruit quicker speed backs? We ran the ZONE READ, more than any other play versus UNC. Ridley is good, but he sure as hell isn't the best back for gashing zones.
