I know he's great but it's stupid to lay all your eggs in the basket for a future recruit. It's also dumber considering you can't 100% for sure say if he'll see the field and progress like he's expected. Not to mention injuries or potential off the field issues. I'm not a fan of ever recruiting based on the future. You get burned like that. He might not even come here. We should've took at least one RB this year. After next year it might all be true freshman and we MIGHT land Fournette.

I guess Miles hasn't learned his lesson with the oline/QB recruiting mistakes.

I think this is one of those things that started as an observation and now everyone accepts as fact that this is exactly what they are doing. I don't think its as simple as they are clearing room for LF as much as they had other needs. They could be exposed if everyone leaves which is short sighted. If that does happen, they could look to a JUCO RB, but an issue for next season. I suspect at least one of Hill/Hillard will stay and it will be like Ridley in 2010.
