I am still surprised at all the small running backs that we keep getting. It seems like the majority are 170-180lbs.

So far in this class we have 5'8" 185, 5'10" 150  :-X, and 5'9" 170. Pretty small across the board.

I know we have Stinson and Morris from past classes and they are bigger backs, but I would think that we should still try to sign additional bigger backs as opposed to all of the little guys.

GO OWLS!!!

Living up here in Jacksonville, I believe that Maurice Jones Drew is 5'8", and he turned out OK. :
Lets not worry to much about the size.

I am talking more about weight than height and of course there are exceptions. Jones-Drew and Darren Sproles are a couple of examples and they are real exceptions. Both also have very solid builds despite being short.

They guys we are signing are very thin. 5'10" 150 is rail thin for a football player at any position.

GO OWLS!!!

some of these kids will still grow so 2 more inches and he's 6 foot. The weight won't be a problem. Especially since most of these kids will be red shirting their first season and still working out with the team they'll be sure to gain weight. So if they can get to 6'0 170 that's not to bad

I love the size of the OL. This guy is 6'3, we had the other kid who was 6'10. Lets beef these kids up and give the QB a lot of time to throw and the RB a lot of room to run
