5 star!

I trust that Huff feels like this is a low risk move with the potential of a high return. Having him and Ali as a 1-2 punch takes a lot of pressure off Wells and could do wonders for the pass game.
 
Huff has a plan to take the Thundering Herd to the next level and is full fillimg his statement that he wants to get this team where other teams are really in fear of playing Marshall and getting their butts kick.

I can see putting both of these running backs in the backfield at the same time will put a lot of pressure on the defensive team especially if both backs will block each other. It would like "Thunder & Lighting" striking fear into the opponents' heart. When Clemson had that combination a few years back, the offense was almost unstoppable.

A very strong run game makes the QB's passing game look amazing sin e the safeties have to play in the box instead laying back to pick off passes.

Ehh let’s see him on the field before we anoint this guy randy 2.0 and huff the next saban. We should approach all high level recruits and especially transfers with cautious optimism
 
Agreed... We have had a long line of big program recruits transfer in and not pan out. Hopefully this kid is good to go and not another Willie Korn, etc
Exactly! Hoping for the best, but this young man has been injured and had off field issues with 3 coaching staffs.

I’m going to give the young man the benefit of the doubt. I don’t know any of the details of his situation. Let’s give him a chance- neither annointing him or be overly skeptical.

That’s the big thing to me. The guy has put in the work to get a degree. I hope that’s a positive sign of maturity to match his talent on the field. He could be an excellent addition. I’m optimistic, but not ready to build any statues.
I hope he is, but didn't he have a knee injury as well? We tend to always get over our skis with these P5 transfers or transfers all together.

Eh, just because you have a degree doesn't mean you're mature...didn't MU get some guys from Boston College who one of them didn't pan out and got in trouble off the field? Yous Mbao for the basketball team had like 4 degrees and had a weapon charge.

But, here's to hoping that'll change.

You talking about Dominick LeGrande and Okechukwu Okoroha? I mean they were nothing great, but they were solid players for us when they were here.

He’ll be a nice RB for someone when Huff leaves and he hits the Transfer portal. Which could be after his freshman season apparently.

Ture. But Laborn (who was an insanely highly recruited kid out of HS) stayed at FSU even after getting kicked off the team and finished his degree. I have no idea if he will work out on the field at MU but in a day and age where kids care less and less about school; I think he should be commended.

Well, I take it back. Glad to see he finished his degree. I agree academics are taking a backseat to sports more and more.
Lets hope MU can continue to keep his head on straight.
