Worried that Durham is the ONLY RB of this class right now?

We have a fairly large scholarship RB room at the moment. It would make sense if we only took him in for next year, and maybe scoop a player out of the portal. Also seems unlikely that he flips his decision and leaves us with the position open.

Not at all. Taking one rb this class has always been the plan. If they didn’t land durham then they would most likely supplement through the portal if necessary for 1 year. Then in 2025 we’re gonna land harlem berry and james simon. Book it

Seems about right to introduce an average of 1.5 new rbs per year

We took 2 last year

No. That was by design. Frank was only targeting Durham. We have 2 FR, 1 Soph and 2 JRs on roster now to go with the SRs and we have 2 big targets in the 2025 class.

They took 2 last year and will take at least 2 next year. They have a massive RB room right now depth wise. If there was a year only to take 1 and make sure it's a high end player it was this year. We're fine and we get a blue chip RB.

It was Caden or nobody for Frank and the staff this cycle.

I don’t think one person is worried about a Caden or bust scenario.

That’s what bust means.

This fanbase can’t get good news without making something up in their heads to worry about

Ya think? We have 8 scholarship RBs on the roster right now and only 3 of them are for sure leaving after this season. We didnt even need a RB at all this cycle but you dont turn down a talent like Durham, we probably only take 1 next class too if it's Berry.

We have zero need for portal RBs after this season.

Your first two sentences literally contradict each other.

On the contrary, I am very happy with where the RB position (in numbers ans talent) appears to be headed over the next 5-6 years. They are going to be electric.

Durham is all we need this year with Berry and Simon coming in next year.

I am not sure he would have chose LSU if he wasn't the only RB we take this year. Seems like that was a big deal to Durham
