Norton and Sanders

[BCClone]

Glad to hear as the wife and I bought Hansen jerseys.

Did you put on the foil also?

And K State's starting QB is hitting the portal.

Wasn't going to be starting next year. He barely held on this year

 

[BCClone]

If both end up at a g5, that's two terrible rb recruiting classes the staff missed on, went from our deepest position to our thinnest. Missed on these two and Silas. It's a lot like the linebacker classes from 3 or 4 years ago, hope it doesn't come back to haunt us IM a year or two like that group.

Not really. If you land a major stud like Sama, the ones still here will leave, or not play, when he takes off. Doesn't mean they are awful, just not as good as Abu. ISU does not land that level of talent every year. If you can hold them for 3-4 years, you only need to land that talent every 3-4 years.

Norton from Georgia
Sanders from Cali

Riding the bench in below freezing temperatures and snow.

Too cold for them!

They weren’t even there!

I don’t think they were misses at all. They were productive players for us and could have been nice depth players next year.

Not every recruit has to be a NFL prospect superstar

Exactly, Sanders and Norton aren't misses. Sama is just a golden ticket.

 

[Tpups21]

Wouldn't be surprised if Sanders ends up at Arizona.

 

[CycloneVet]

Yeah, I'm not sure Hansen was ahead of them YET, but Sama definitely was. And they likely want to be featured backs, and that's totally fine.

FIFY

 

[CycloneVet]

Didn't seem to bother Rocco & Brenden Black.

Best wishes to the both of them. They ran hard and will be solid backs somewhere else. Homeboy Sama is the future.

If Sama stays on his current course of development he may have a chance to be the best homegrown rb in history? Roger Craig is likely the top guy. Am I forgetting anyone?

 

[AuH2O]

Williams posted in premium forum on Saturday about it, mentioning that Hansen and Sama were the future at RB. So sounds like it to me.

I think he was saying they were the future because Norton and Sanders got the transfer head start and we’re going to be done.

I highly doubt out of the blue before the season concludes Campbell is going to say have that sort of convo. That’s a season post mortem discussion.

Kinnick probably gets a nod.

Probably

The timing was surprising/unusual, but no problem with it for me. They both played hard for us, and it turned out well, breakout game for Abu. I hope they end up somewhere that's a good situation for them.

Also Abu is definitely going to get some NIL offers to transfer himself this offseason. We can probably now more confidently say, you are the guy here.

CMC wouldn't of told Sama he'd be the feature back unless he's committed to stay next year.

 

[CyDude16]

Most of the discussion surrounding these 2 is hypothetical at this point. Lots of assumptions being made in this thread about the situation but no one on CF really knows for sure how it went down.

Some do. And you’re wrong on it.

 

[NorthCyd]

Some do. And you’re wrong on it.

Wrong on what exactly?

 

[CyDude16]

Wrong on what exactly?

USC

 

[NorthCyd]

USC

Well please fill me in on the details. I would love to know. No harm in letting everyone know, especially if he wasn't going anywhere.

 

[NENick]

Harris was highly rated out of high school. Is he being written off? Can he find a significant role next year?

 

[flycy]

You feel the same about Campbell and the USC job or do you hold the players to a different standard?

Was that during the regular season even?
