I like Abu's attitude. He is willing to go either way. And the fact that he is currently a recruiting lean toward RB says a lot also. One, ISU coaches like him there, Two, he is willing to play there for ISU! That's big!

Sure, we have a history (or Campbell does) of putting out League quality RB's! Recent history (this year, plus some over the past couple of years) shows that we have issues with the offense and the OL, etc.

Samu wanting, or willing, to play RB to me, means that he feels much of the offense's problems can be overcome, and he is confident that he can contribute. I hope that is a good indicator of things to come!

I live in Missouri now, so they (coaching staff and offense) are going to have to Show Me from here on!

All I saw was a quick story on channel 13 that showed him break up a long pass at the goal line, and I don't think he generated any stats other than that (which could be considered good for a cornerback)
