[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 914736, member: 2299"] Imo that was more how we used the a backs. Had we focused more on one a back rather than rotating 4 or 5 usually it's have been an easier to sell. If you answer the question of who are most productive a back was you'll find that most didn't really put up numbers that would be attractive to recruits. Some names Roddy Jones - as a freshman he had 690 yards rushing and 155 yards receiving which would be phenomenal to build on normally. But those were career highs and his next highest was about 450 and 150 Anthony Allen - 618 and 112 rushing and receiving his year as an A back Orwin Smith - Probably the best sellling point overall, but even he never had a year of over 1000 yards from scrimmage. Embry Peeples - 480 and 250 were about his highs rushing and receiving respectively. In different years. Robert Godhigh - probably best individual season as an A back going for nearly 750 and 470 as a senior Charles Perkins - max of 440 yards rushing. Clinton Lynch - had maxes of 450 and 490 respectively but not in the same year. If we were basically always having someone who produced like Godhigh's senior year then we'd probably have been more attractive to recruits at the a back spot. But while it was good to get them the ball in space we spread the touches to too thin for that point to stick in. [/QUOTE]
