Time for the RBs I guess.
RB
I have really high hopes Cierre Wood. I always thought he will be one of the better RBs ND has had in recent memory. And with 3 years of eligibility left he still has plenty of time to get there. With that said I really thought Wood would be a special back but after watching him, I don't think I see that. He is a solid back and will probably get to the 1000 yard mark this year, but I don't think he is an elite level running back like Lattimore, Dyer, James, Richardson, etc. He has the speed, but I am not sure about much else with him. I don't think he is that durable, I don't think he has great vision, or shiftiness, break tackle ability, and his ability to hold onto the ball. Will he be a solid college running back, definitely. Will he be that player we look back on and are like "wow he was really something", probably not. I am positive he will be a productive back, but based on just his natural ability he has shown right now, I don't think he is elite like I expected him to be as the 5 star from Cali. Which is fine because we really don't have much else going on at RB right now. I have no faith in Jonas Gray. Like Hughes, I think it just took him too long to "get it". Instead of Wood being the feature back, it would be much nicer if Gray was the power inside runner and Wood could handle the outside runs. We really haven't seen much from Gray besides some spring game action, and too be honest I have never been impressed with what he brings.
On the back end of the depth chart, much like QB, I really hope GA and McDaniel see limited time this year. They are both too small and probably shouldn't be playing the RB position at the top level of college football. I think both end up at WR at the end of their careers here, especially if we pull some 5 stars this year which seems like a certainty at this point. Plus Cam Roberson will be back next year and the depth will be there.Comment

After me saying I wouldn't mind ND recruits flipping to IU because of Gunner. Lol. Also lots of neg rep.

I probably shouldn't be judging our Oline talent so if anyone else wants to give it a shot go for it. So I will do WR/TEs since I didn't do it yesterday. Little different than usual.
Michael Floyd-I believe he is the best WR in the nation. Little homer, but it isn't much of a stretch. Not the most athletic WR, but definitely the most physical and intimidating. I have high hopes for his NFL career.
Theo Riddick-Needs to stay healthy and consistent. Be interesting watching him return kicks and punts. I know he did a little for Weis his freshman year, and I wasn't really impressed. He is a totally different player now. I would like him to dance around a little less in the open field and just make 1 cut and go, but it's whatever.
TJ Jones-Just needs to be more confident out there. He has what it takes to be an impact in games, but really hasn't yet. I have high hopes for the kid though.
Robby Toma-I have never really liked him. Don't think he brings much to the table for a top level school. Good backup for Theo when he gets tired.
John Goodman-Can't catch, white, slow, hardly an impact.
Tyler Eifert-A lot of people like him. I am so so. To me he seems more like a pleasant surprise, than actually a great college TE.
Daniel Smith/Farley/Massa/Welch/Golic/Koyack-Need to see more.
Davaris Daniels-I think he will be a stud. Probably won't break Floyd's receiving records, but I think he will be in the record books at the end of his career.
Deion Walker-Please.Comment

I'd bring up that some people asking if they can shoot us counts as a personal attack. I think it's against their TOS to openly ask to shoot someone on the board.
