We all know that our two freshman running backs, Darrell Henderson and Jamarius Henderson, are 2015 Parade All-Americans, but we also signed another Parade All-American.

I thought Jaelon Oglesby might be one from 2014, so I checked, but he was not. Then it hit me to check the 2013 Parade All-American list and bingo! Our other new running back, Mark Dodson, is a 2013 1st team Parade All-American at running back!!!

How about that for a back field, three All-Americans to choose from!!!!!! Hopefully, we can get all three on the field at the same time, someway.

This has to be the deepest we've ever been at RB. I so wish we hadn't lost so much on defense, or we would be scary good this year.

Still will be....The World Is Ours Memphis...

I just hope Darrell Henderson qualifies. Hearing it's 50/50 at this point

I think I heard coach Fuente say that Dodson has to sit out this year during the signing day press conference.

Yes, he has to sit. Assume we go to a 2 back set. All three can catch and could also play split end. SPEED!!

We aren't without experience on defense, plus we are bringing in some quality players. Last year defense carried us, this year offense will. We will blow some teams out this year I bet!!!

Too be clear, I love our current RBs (Dorceus, Cooper, Davis and Wallace), so these freshman are going to have to earn their playing time. Bottom-line is we have a mix of experience, size, speed and I believe heart, so whoever can deliver the best combination and hang on to the ball gets to take the field. Go Tigers Go!

Not sure D Henderson can overcome the common South Panola academic hurdle.

It's a good thing if the judged talent is confirmed with actual on-field performance but let's not fall into ratings, awards game that seems to plague us so much in basketball recruiting. It always ends up with unsupported expectations. As JF has said consistently, there are 30-40 top recruits every year that anyone can see are top recruits - generally the 5 star guys & beyond those 30-40 that go to the top 10 programs around the country, it is really a matter of development within a program that determines a player's worth. So let's see how they develop, how disciplined & dedicated to the program these guys are - how hard they work. Let's see if they come in with a humble attitude that allows them to follow the advice & guidance of the coaching staff or if they come in "entitled" with the idea that playing time doesn't have to be earned. Some will rise up, others will pout their way into a transfer. One thing for sure, that Parade notice won't mean a thing on the field. If Dodson is smart, he's already learned that part.

There certainly is a way to get them on the field at one time.

Dust off that 2003 Big Bone formation that Fictner concocted and let the defenses figure out who might run the ball or be a receiver.

The TIGER offense will be nuclear in 2015.
