It's pretty criminal this cats thread is only at 4 pages. I'll admit, I just now caught his videos but I'm all aboard the hype train now. Dude looks legit to me. Also looks to have the ability to move the pile more than recent backs and has more upside than Weber to me unless Mikey really takes the next step this year.
I can see why it appears the recruitment of Tavion has slowed a bit. Not saying the staff won't take both but they seem awfully familiar to me. Each class I keep thinking 2 RBs are needed and I'm not comfortable with depth. But we get really good players early and seem to be content letting that ride out as the recruiting cycle progresses. It just seems like maybe the staff doesn't see the immediate need to take Tavion right now but I could be wrong.
Point is, Snead looks awesome to me and deserves more hype. Kind of a similar recruiting story so far as Dobbins. Will be interesting to see if this cycle too ends with just 1 RB because, like the Akers recruitment, the staff is clearly still interested in Zeus. What could be unique this year however is that Tavion Thomas appears more appealing than Ellison. If Zeus goes elsewhere and Tavion is still available at end of cycle then I can see a class of 2 RBs. If that doesn't happen does the class just have 1 RB? Hard to say but one thing is clear, Snead is a stud and it was smart he committed early- for both parties.
