Is 2013 RB recruiting worrying anyone else a little bit?

We could go into 2014 with just Magee and the 2014 freshmen. I think we'll lose Hill and possibly Hilliard. I'd like to see us grab one guy in this class but maybe Les and Frank know something we don't concerning Fournette and the EA kid?

I think we're taking 3 RBs in '14. I also think Brazil will get a shot running the ball. That's my opinion, not based on anything I've read.

Not too concerned. It's not uncommon for freshmen running backs to make big impacts.

I dont buy the rumors that Hilliard wanted to transfer. He has since admitted that he had significant knee pain for most of the year. I know everyone thinks Hill and Hilliard are gone after next year but I dont think that is written in stone.
The staff is not dumb, they would take adam taylor if they thought it was the best plan of action for the future. There may be things that we dont know (as is the case with just about every staff decision)

I can't see Hill and Hilliard leaving. Ford and Ware were in a differnet situation.

I'm cool with as long as we get another stud to go with Fournette. UGA did pretty good with 2 freshmen RBs this past season

I think Diarse's upside is most likely realized at tailback. Strong lower body will allow him to run through arm tackles - while being incredibly shifty and elusive (even between the tackles).

Granted, I have heard nothing of our staff considering moving him once he gets on campus. It's just wishful thinking on my part.

Palelei (EA kid) is as close to a lock as you can be one year out.
According to his Dad, anyway.

Does the EA kid have an offer? He is around the 5'9"185lbs range. His offers include Utah and BYU. He is not a fit for an offense whose smallest back is 215lbs.
