Buie, Millard, Richardson no longer with team

[DCWV4life]

Ok we all could have guessed Millard and Buie, but I am really surprised Richardson left the team. Especially since Worley is missing the spring with surgery.

We went from very deep at RB to very very thin.

Yes, we are thin at RB. One of the main reasons why I didn't understand not getting one in this year's class.

 

[GoldRusher]

Buie should have tried slot imo.

We also have Wellman, Marcellas and Adams who could all come in and play RB if needed. 3 RBs is a good number. Last year we did not have enough carries to spread around to 5 guys 4 of which had been starters at one point or another.

ESPN has Wade listed at 5'10", 165 lbs, and runs a 4.79 40.

 

[Anotherwvufan]

From the film, he is faster than 4.79. He is fast, but not Slaton fast. He uses the speed he has quite well. I don't see him likely to be a starter, but if the injury bug hits, he could see some playing time. Good to see us add some depth to the RB position.

He does look faster than his 40 indicates. I like his agility and elusiveness. Field vision is great too. Buie and Garrison improved towards the end of their time at WVU but I remember being frustrated when they ran right up their blockers back when there was an opening to the left or right. Looks like he has potential to be a good RB.

Smallwood is being held out of today's pratice--red jersey.

Just sayin...

Jackey Marcellius is now playing RB for WVU
