missing on robinson/knighton/gibbs/etc. and probably smith would be quite the air biscuit for alford & co., especially with dobbins and teague showing that the staff will not stop prioritizing the running game no matter what the negative recruiting has claimed. and especially since, you know, we kinda really need a running back for 2020. and especially since, you know, top running back recruits should be seeing an opportunity for immediate playing time at a national powerhouse that contends for the playoff every year.

We don’t NEED a 2020 RB with Crowley and Chambers looking as good as they do. 1 RB would be nice, but not a necessity. Especially if OSU can get 2 RBs in 2021. And as much as top RB recruits want immediate PT,it doesn’t always happen. With or without Gibbs, Teague, Crowley, Chambers and McCall would run this offense just fine

I’m really curious as to why it is a struggle for staff this year when other major programs seem to be bringing in multiple backs. Noted above at Bama 5 backs in 2 years. Heck even the Pedsters have recruited solidly at RB, I believe two 5* last year.

Especially when you consider the recent history with Carlos Hyde and Zeke Elliott. Then you consider what the offense is doing this year, running the ball over 60% of the time and has the nation’s #2 rusher in JK Dobbins, who happens to be an upperclassman! Yeah, it’s bizarre.

Yeah, there's no real way to sugarcoat the poor job with the RB recruiting in this class so far. Who knows, maybe we still snag a top guy, there's time. And Gibbs was never leaving the south. But it is dumbfounding how we haven't landed anyone at the position.

Gibbs is supposed to visit for the MD game but with it being at noon, it’ll be interesting to see if he’s able to make it. I’m sure his team will have a game the Friday night before.

That’s the biggest issue with these noon games. Yes, they draw huge ratings for FOX. But it could begin to have an effect on recruiting. Kids coming from more than a few hours away will struggle to get there in time for the game while the HS is still going on.
