Hope to see Ty very very hungry with hands like velcro....
November 9th, 2015 at 9:09 PM ^
IDK, velcro doesn't stick that well to footballs does it??

November 9th, 2015 at 9:23 PM ^
It can, but there can be other issues.

A healthy Glasgow would be huge against OSU. Their center is the weak link in the oline

Do you actually know anything about him smoking weed?
November 10th, 2015 at 8:20 AM ^
Mitch McGary - 1 year death sentance from the NCAA for weed
JT Barrett - miss 1 game for DUI and being a minor
How's that for facts !
Go Blue!

One player was caught by the ncaa, one was not. ncaa has no power in handing out suspensions for a dui, that is between the school to decide and the police on how they prosecute. The ncaa might suck but this isn't hypocricy on their part, just a matter of jurisdiction.
November 10th, 2015 at 2:34 PM ^
but it is not the 1950's, yet the NCAA is all about "Reefer madness" still ? One essentially is underage, drunk and driving a dangerous weapon. The other guy probably walked to get cookies and milk to cure his munchies.
Pot does not equal HGH ... and the NCAA should stay away from any enforcement action on ANY individual.
Go Blue!

Kerridge was a walk-on.
November 9th, 2015 at 9:12 PM ^
Way more interested about LB, S and QB. JH will find FBs. Not exactly worried about any of them, but those are big unknowns.
November 9th, 2015 at 9:17 PM ^
We could possibly move a TE over.

I discussed this with Kingston's father a few mionths ago (we used to work together for the DoD). LC was mystifed as to how mgoblog has projected Kingston as a FB and stated strongly that there's no way he plays FB. He visted Nebraska last weekend BTW.

I'm not the type to just rely on"cross fingers, hope the coaches turn a guy into a genius." Yes, the coaches are good, but you can't just turn someone into a player they are not. I'm concerned about next year's LB corps, for example.
That said, this is one area where I trust the coaches to identify and train a player to be reliable and productive next season. Fullback doesn't require a set of hard-to-find skills; you need to be reasonably big, you need to block well, and you need to know what to block. Unlike height, speed, and athleticism, these are things that can and will be developed and taught.
Makes sense if you think about it--there isn't exactly a slot for a 4-star fullback recruit on most recruiting boards; guys are identified as players and put into place in that spot. I imagine the coaching staff already has an idea who they will try to move and knows exactly what it will take to make them a reliable contributor.

I disagree.
If anything, Harbaugh has used his Fullbacks as dynamically as I've ever seen a fullback utilized.
And Harbaugh's offense will absolutely demand highly athletic and skilled players at that position, much more than is typically demanded of a full-back, anywhere else.
Houma has a 32-yd-long reception, 3 TDs, and a 32-yd-long run.
The 2 Fullbacks (Houma & Kerridge) alone have about the same amount of carries as any back not named De'veon Smith, and just 20 less total yardage on the season.
If anything, it's clear that Harbaugh likes (or this year is an anomaly) to utilize a VERY dynamic FB. Harbaugh is a clear outlier in this regard.
Also, Kerridge and Houma check in at 6'-0", ~250 lbs. That's an incredibly rare size/weight combination (not saying FBs need to be short, but there is a clear lower-leverage advantage when blocking. Poggi is 6'-4". For comparison Peppers is RIPPED, and at 5'10"-6'-0" he's only listed at 208lbs.
Houma was also reported as running the 40m in the ~4.6 range coming out of High School. And, Kerridge was recruited by Harbaugh while he was still at Stanford. Vastly under-reported was how lucky Harbaugh was to inherit 2 dynamic and talented players in their last year, who could do the dynamic and demanding work that Harbaugh's scheme called for. Our offense would be much less potent without their running/catching threat.
There isn't a 4-star fullback on most recruiting boards because most of highschool and NFL football does not use fullbacks.
I'm not saying Harbaugh can't/won't find great replacements, but simply stating that just because the Fullback position, currently, is under-utilized across all of football, and under-analyzed by scouting websites, doesn't mean it's a simple position.
