Eno Benjamin de-commits from Iowa - lists Michigan as a team he's interested in

Well, I'm torn. He's a really good back, but he's always wearing black and he's always fucking depressed and listening to The Smith's and painting his fingernails and wearing white face make-up... 

I mean, Harbaugh is about to save this kid's knee from AIRBHG. This is a mission of mercy.

My thoughts I like the backs we have now too. With Harris and Akers as most takes I don't see a spot or need for Benjamin unless Taylor is told to look elsewhere or we miss on signing day and need an emergency take

The chances of pulling Akers out of the south is slim. Harris I think Is a 50/50 shot. Can't underestimate Harbaugh though. Has Harris or Akers planned an official yet?

and the community treats their sports teams like gold! that is their "professional" team. it's quite a fun atmosphere to be around. much like Nebraska.

Fred Jackson, is that you?

Kirk has the smartest lawyer/agent in America!  Maybe s/he should have been running for president instead!

/no politics

at the time, it seemed like we wouldn't take his commitment. Hard to see how that's changed. I'm glad he's still interested though. You never know how things will turn out in recruiting.

Neither do I, interesting that he decommitted from Iowa as they're making good use of running backs this years and let's face it, the coaching stability thing is wired in!

Well Isaacs presence doesn't really impact this class RB recuriting since he is gone in a year. Evans and Higdon seem pretty set as a 1-2 punch for next year. Walker is a wildcard, as it's unclear right now what his situation will be going forward. There is no guarantee that Davis will be kept at RB, given how the depth chart may pan out...who knows becoming FB may be more desirable than initially thought given how much Hill has scored this year.

So, based on our usage of RBs this year, having 4 potential options in the rotation seems fine with the staff.
