First, Orgeron isn't going anywhere after this season. Not gonna happen.

Second, neither of these two RBs is going to be good enough to save anyone's job. These players are
Sunbelt type players.

The Baylor RB is better than anyone on our roster

While Terence Williams is good, I think that's debatable, and yet to be determined, in regards to CEH. In fact, I think CEH is light years ahead of him in skill.

Couple points here...
- Firstly, if he has interest in LSU and no grade problems, as a transfer and spot in THIS class he's a take.

- He was a low 4 star (0.908) with very few offers.

- He was listed as a ATH, not RB

- Was pretty much Baylor all the way, decommitted once, recommitted, signed.

- others cited YPC earlier in the thread, his is 3.5 ypc (I still think he's pretty good)

- CEH is a 'scat back' (bullshite) at 5'8"; Joiner was too tall to be a RB at 6'3" (bullshite), Williams is 6'2" ~220 lbs and is 'prototypical'.

The moral of the story, a high-percentage of people on this board would have been up in arms if we had recruited him and would have actually brought the 2014 class (avg 0.9125) ranking down ever so slightly (due to being a low 4*). Not to mention that was the year we took LF7; but only 1 RB.

Agreed but I would like to have him for depth and he could possibly fill a niche role in certain packages. He might be better suited for some power formations or short yardage.

Not sure what he brings to the table as far as pass protection and receiving.

yep, he's worth it I think. Worth noting looks like injury was part of 2017. Either that or he was passed up, but he only played in 8 games so I'm thinking injury. He was the leading rusher in 2016.

I'm going to guess here: looks like they don't like him as a reciever, 2017 or 2016. So my guess is he's a blocker; he's got the size for it.

In short, he is a 'good' complete package. Got just enough wiggle to avoid some tackles, runs with pretty good power and is definitely not afraid of contact (and knows how to run into contact). Looks like receiving is the only thing missing from that package.
