Spring Football: Early April running backs report

Here's an update on Iowa State's running back situation as of April 5. Enjoy.

Iowa State Spring Football: Variety is key for Cyclone running backs | Cyclone Fanatic

I'm pretty jacked about all the talent at RB, and thats not even mentioning the two who committed this year. I think they also have the talent to play, but it would be best to RS them. But what makes the who RB situation even better, is all the talent we have on the OL this year also! It could be really scary if Jantz(IMO the starter) can hit a few receivers deep(and they catch it).

Its good to see we have depth now and coming for the QB and RB spots.

The way people were talking at signing (and yes it early), I thought we might hear more about Nealy: but if him and Standard redshirt and we continue to recruit thing will be looking good.

I'm assuming they weren't mentioned because aren't on campus yet so they aren't participating in spring ball.

:skeptical: Oh ya, now Im dumb.....insert foot in mouth.

Ok let me reboot...

How about this: WILL Nealy and Standard via for a spot this year as positive as the four current ground pounders sound.

Its tough. I mean if one of them are one of our top two RB's it's hard to keep them off the field... but we have four talented RB's who are all Sophomores or younger... I say RS both. It can only help them. Have a better feel for the offense and continue to work on their skills/talent and four years to play instead of just being thrown into the fire. Plus, we should have a more stable QB and OL for them the next year too.

I hope that they all get time on the field. Would anyone mind if I started referring to them as "The Four Horsemen?"
