rockybleier - thanks for all of your research - it's great seeing newer members contributing so much.
Thanks LF....I’ll be keeping an eye on all running backs.....Hopefully we will find a few diamonds in the rough....Looking to get 1000 yards out of Laird, Ouellette, IEriksen, Epstein, Borghi as freshman??....Probably not.....
I hope Nolan Eriksen gets close.....
My big concern is Beau Bisharat.....They talk about the transfer getting most of the carries this year.....Bisharat is a Junior this year, turning down Standford looks worse and worse as the years go on.....I’m rooting hard for BB getting Lindsey-like carries......He could be a 1000 yard back easy.....Remember, this guy is no preferred walk on, he was a highly recruited big running back......
Plus 3 of Colburns TD’s and 235 of his yards were in 1 game against Louisville which helped inflate his already average stats. Carney is clearly the better back.Here's a perfect scenario of the the caste system in effect. Judging by the stats of these 2 D1 RB's which one is the baetter NFL prospect: RB 1. 5'11 215 with nice blend of strength/speed to lead his team on 174 att for 958 yds and 8 TD's; RB 2. 5'10 200 is producing far less in the same amount of games in 144 att for 688 yds and 4 TD's.
I'd pick 5'11 215 RB Cade Carney a white guy who just shy Wakes000 yds in the ACC. However it was Wakes other RB B is Wakes 2nd Wakes other RB Matt Colburn is a black guy, and he's the who's the one with mid-round NFL interest not Carney. Havn't checked their 40 times or anything but Carney actually looks like the faster runner in game, so Carneys real problem is only skin deep.

…..and here it is!!! This according to the Nike Combine Results!
Carney 40 time: 4.53
Colburn 40 time: 4.72
Carney 20 yard shuttle: 4.21
Colburn " " " : 4.28
Carney Vertical: 40
Colburn Vertical: 28
Carney Power Throw: 40
Colburn Power Throw:24
Carney Nike SparQ Rating: 127.65
Colburn Nike " " ": 63.99
Same Ol, same Ol'.
A white RB with Colburn's numbers coming out of high school would not get signed to a D-II school much less a D-I school!
What am I saying. A white RB wouldn't sign anywhere. He would never even be thought about. Like he never existed.
