I miss having a rb you were excited to watch every Saturday.
We haven't had that guy since Chris Barclay, he was a joy to watch!

Hines will be that guy.
I agree if we can land him.

Hines will be that guy.
Don't know where Hines ends up but he's not an every down running back. He's a scat back guy that you hold your breath every time he touches it but who shouldn't (and IMO can't handle) more than 10-15 touches between special teams, RB, and WR. His best position is probably as a slot WR/Kick return guy. Hell of a talent but I'd be shocked if he's an every down RB in college who can really run the ball into the ground.

One more post before I get Thanksgiving started…..
A look at which schools Wake is going head-to-head with the most often for members of my 2016 Big Board. It demonstrates how important it will be to win our share of in-state recruiting battles for the 2016 class.
N.C. State 8
UNC 6
Boston College 5
Duke 4
West Virginia 3
Georgia Tech 3
For comparison purposes, here is the same analysis for the 2015 class as it stood when I posted it on May 7th:
Boston College 11
Syracuse 7
Mississippi St 7
Rutgers 6
Virginia 6
5 each for: Duke, Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, Northwestern and Illinois
Very different. I think that the differences are attributable to both the early focus on recruits closer to home for the 2016 class, plus the fact that we are earlier in the process right now.
I'm thankful for your great analysis, Deac94.
