It's starting to look as if Gallman is the best recruit..

that came out of that bunch from Graysville a couple of years ago. I haven't heard a word about Kamara in a year or so and Little Bobby isn't showing much progress.
It's a good thing mamakim wasn't handling Wayne's recruiting.

I think every team feels they are the good guys.

It's annoying as helll to Clemson when we know we're the good guys and they are all delusional.

kamara. He never impressed me and it looked to me like he was nothing more than nkemdiches 3rd nut and he was heavily recruited to sway nkemdiche to their school. People tried to claim it was wayne gallman but a blind man could see the talent wayne gallman possesses and that he didn't have to be neck deep in nkemdiches #### at all times like kamara

David Kamara?
Jan 6, 2015, 12:19 PM
|
|
He's a reserve DB at Ole Miss who has made very little if any real impact.
Last I heard, he was planning to transfer else where due to a lack of significant playing time.

Nkemdiche was a Lombardi Semifinalist and either a 2nd team

All-American or Honorable Mention on most of the national lists (AP, USA Today, SI).
It might be based off of name-recognition, but he's still getting a ton of respect nationally for his play, despite his lack of stats.

He and his brother broke Isiah Crowell's record at Georgia for the most consecutive days smoking dope.

Robert Nkemdiche is playing inside most of the time now. Tough to put up big sack and tackle numbers playing DT. He has played great if you watched the tape. I wouldn't call him a bust at all. He'll probably be a first round pick after his junior year, according to many scouts. Gallman is definitely #2 from that Grayson group of Nkemdiche, Kamara, Gallman, Schuessler, and Carter.

Didn't Jarrett have almost 11 TFLs and over 46 tackles?

Seems like it may be more difficult to rack up sacks, but on teams that run it seems easier to rack up tackles and tackles for loss. And isn't the SEC supposed the be the standard for RBs?????

It's Grayson HS in Loganville, first of all

Second of all, Nkimdiche was an Athlon First Team Freshman All- American last year and was named a second-team All American by the AP, USA Today, and CBS Sports. I'm not sure if his stats really back that up, but it's not like the guy's not playing well. Kamara wasn't all that highly recruited to begin with, and I believe Gallman was the higher rated player by all recruiting services.
Gallman had a good year, but I don't see him as the kind of workhorse RB who's going to carry the team. He did what we needed him to, particularly towards the end of the year against teams we could push around a little more, but he didn't average over 5 YPC and he didn't quite have 800 yards rushing. He also only had 4 TDs. So while I think Gallman can be a good player, let's not just declare that he's better than a guy who started as a true freshman and has been making All-America teams.

Gallman had a big year for us--did exactly what we needed him to do--but I don't expect him to tote the rock like he did this year in the 2015 season. I think Dye is the guy the coaches want to take the brunt of the load, and 225 lb Tyshon Dye plus the speed of Gallman could be a good duo in 2015 splitting carries 60%-40%

Dye, Brooks, and Choice are going to take some carries
Jan 6, 2015, 12:30 PM
|

I still think Brooks will be taking the majority of the snaps at RB next year, if only because guys like Choice and Dye are less experienced (while also recovering from injuries) and Gallman still needs time to get thicker.

I am still rooting for dye! The guy has put tons of work in and is a good size back, I have like gallman since spring game, I like his all out running style, kinda like a rough cut Roger Craig

Agree - if Gallman can find a way to put on 10+ pounds
Jan 6, 2015, 1:30 PM
[ in reply to Dye, Brooks, and Choice are going to take some carries ] |

I read that he has metabolic challenges and has tried to add weight. If the docs and nutritionists can figure that one out, I think he could be as good as guys like Elliott at OSU.
But the challenge for any of the guys will be the "hot hand" every game. It won't surprise me if throughout next season if we see a rotation of starting RBs since we got depth. Might start with Brooks and move to Gallman or Dye or Choice as things change.

I think Brooks is very underrated
Jan 6, 2015, 2:07 PM
|
|
Part of the reason is he hasn't gotten a lot of carries because of injuries, which of course is a concern. However, he averaged over 5 YPC last year, and he brings the pass catching dimension to our offense that I don't think any of the others have yet.
By the way, Brooks actually has the highest YPC of all the RBs on our roster.

some clarifications:

1st of all it's GRAYSON (not Graysville) hs. Grayson HS actually has a Loganville address but for all practical purposes, it is in Grayson, GA, which is in Gwinnett County, NE of Atlanta about 30 min. I happen to live here and have seen these guys all play since middle school.
The Gallmans are wonderful people and I was more thrilled in Wayne going to Clemson than perhaps any other RB recruit in the last few years. You guys have not seen the best of him, just wait.
I don't know the rest of the Grayson guys as well but don't every forget that the head Coach at Grayson HS, Mickey Conn, was Dabo's college roommate and walk-on teammate. They were and are very close.....
