RECRUITING: 2020 RB Miyan Williams deciding tonight

[Cytown12]

Guy looks like a stud but we are stocked at RB so not that big of loss. I’m sure Campbell has a backup plan and the guy is probably an underrated stud

 

[NorthCyd]

Gotcha, I’ll stop posting then.

 

[Cychl82]

Honestly it sucks to see this especially 2 days after a commitment but it’s nbd. Good luck to him and our stable of RBs probably scared him

 

[ISUEmbassy]

Hope he stays committed, but can't fault an Ohio kid going to OSU. If he does flip, the good news is that we're in good shape in the RB room. Brock redshirting this year balances out the class.

Next year we have Kene (sr), lang (jr), hall (so), and brock (fr). I think we are loaded and can easily afford not having a rb in next year's class. I expect brock to get significant carries next year along w hall and for both to be great.

Campbell will find another one for this class I bet.

 

[dualthreat]

I guess we'll have to rely on our two 4-star running backs. We'll be good

 

[amishclone]

Stay on the porch it is. No running with the big dogs for Miyan

 

[CYCLNST8]

Hey- the 2nd half of the recruiting cycle can be fun. Purdy was a late addition. Won’t lose any sleep over this. Best of luck to him.

 

[IceCyIce]

He'll transfer here after a couple years

 

[Aclone]

He may, he may not. I don’t think he’ll sign another RB just to sign a running back, though. As I said in the other thread, the staff has some flexibility with that scholarship slot now.

For example, if Paris Johnson decides he wants to flip to the good guys, we have a spot for him now.

At the same time, running back becomes a higher priority in the ‘21 class. Maybe two again?

 

[isutrevman]

He gone. Will be interested to see where he is in 3 years as OSU will likely have a few 5 Star RB’s by then.

We signed two running backs rated higher than OSU's this past season with Brock and Hall. Playing time isn't exactly going to be easy to come by at Iowa State in the next 3-4 years either.

 

[CyTwins]

Hot take: he'll be really good at Ohio State

 

[CTTB78]

It was his dream to play for the Buckeyes. Since we are into dreams on this board, I'm OK with it.
We'll be fine at RB position.

Hot take: he'll be really good at Ohio State

I think even I could run behind a line full of 5 stars.....

 

[BoxsterCy]

I've wondered if Breece's recent performance might not have weakened Miyan's commitment just a bit. When he committed, he knew there we had some good young backs but Breece hadn't started dominating yet.

You mean like we already have a #28?

That number is taken (again).

no, you'd get beat out by all their other running backs. you'd never see the field.

An OL that turns 3 star RBs into 4 stars and 4 star RBs into 5 stars. So, yah, probably going to be good.

 

[SouthernCy]

no, you'd get beat out by all their other running backs. you'd never see the field.

What about if they all got injured, maybe then?

 

[Cydkar]

I bet we don't get another RB in this class.

 

[cyclone4L]

I bet we don't get another RB in this class.

I'd bet we do.
