Will we see the emergence of Stevie Rocker Jr, why might we, and how does it effect the RB room? It seems he is the one player everyone has been quietly excited about, but no one want to talk about him because of the possible implications his sucess might have.
1) Does Gilman have a sophomore slump?What if he struggles early in the season and is pushed down the depth chart because Ostmo and SJR are waiting for reps. We saw something similar with Marcus Night, (who I feel didnt see the field enough to ever really get his legs back). I think we all want to see Gilman grow as a player and continue to get better, because he has such a high ceiling. He also seems to be loyal to the Griz and I hope he will stay through his career.
2) I'd hate to see Ostmo fall to 3rd string, especially after coming back for a final run. He's a starting RB at every other school in the Big Sky. He's also creeping up the record books and deserves a productive last year.
3) I don't like talking injuries, but a good year for Stevie Rocker Jr. due to injury, would be tough... but we all know that's IS why he was brought here, right? We need a third stud in the stables to make a deep run, For as much as we all like X, Childs or the possibility of one of the freshmen breaking out. a third, big, dynamic back may end up being the difference at the end of the season.
I suppose any way you look at it, i'm excited to see what he brings to the team.
Thoughts?
