If Lloyd was that much better than Harris and Fenwick last spring and fall camp I can only imagine that he’s as good as advertised. Harris is a top 2 back in this league btw. I can’t wait to see that group of backs this season
If Lloyd was that much better than Harris and Fenwick last
- Thread starter Macc Maine
- Start date
You need at least 3 in the sec and it looks like we’re solid, might have 4 or 5 that are serviceable!
I honestly see this duo being a Sony Michelle and Nic Chubb type duo. I just hope we use them right.
He was the starter and from what the coaches said last year was that it was Lloyd job and it didn’t seem close
If he isn't, it's gonna be a long year. Unless we get back in the I and find a fullback. Harris wasn't impressive once we got in the spread.
Really, so a back that hasn’t played one down of college ball is now better than a back that lead the SEC in rushing behind a pretty bad team. Just asking.
Of all the problems on the team last year, Kevin Harris was a bright spot. I'm looking forward to seeing him shine again. The good thing is we have other players with different skill sets that can compliment one another. And yes I was very impressed with Kevin.
The problem in 2020 spring was that those who were evaluating talent (Mushole and staff), were not the best judges....lets hope Lloyd and Harris both remain healthy, then with rest of cast Cocks should be strong in that position...Go Cocks!
IIRC he was injured during the second Spring practice.
At the time, Harris was still somewhat of an unknown, not surprising any staff would be high on a new 5* at a position that needed a talent infusions.
I'm not dodging anything. Any good coach will put a player in the best position to make an impact utilizing his skill sets. The coaches did this with Kevin. No different that what is done with QBs. You're not going to ask a QB that's not very mobile to make a lot of plays with his feet. Doesn't mean he isn't effective or can't move the ball. Good coaches can figure how what each player does best and design plays to maximize this. As long as he can get yards and move the ball does it matter how it's done?
Lloyd was never named the starter. His injury occurred on the second day of fall camp last season.
He was the starter and from what the coaches said last year was that it was Lloyd job and it didn’t seem close from the way
i agree. I’m not saying Lloyd is better than Harris because Harris is a top back in the country I’m only noting that if Lloyd is as good as advertised then we should have one of the best backfield
You still haven't answered the question. Was you impressed with Harris's play after we abandoned the I formation? Not the whole season.
Waiting to see Lloyd play for sure. At this moment we cant predict who is best. But if he is as good as advertised and with Harris having established himself , the change up factor of JuJu , Z. White———we could be exciting team to watch run the ball. That’s my hope for sure.

How the heck was someone the "starter" that got hurt the first day of practice?
Meaning he took the first team reps since he stepped foot on campus. Can’t be that hard to understand

He got hurt almost immediately into practice. He couldn't have taken that many reps.
It was August 20; he had taken enough by then to see what was what. I saw enough video of him working contact drills against the LBs and DBs to see he was a bona fide stud.
Okay, with the spring practice, the summer workouts, the work they let them do with coaches over the summer, and the two fall practices he was ahead of every RB in that room.
Exactly. It was reported that the coaches were building the offense around him. All I was pointing out is if he is as good as advertised I can see SC having one of the best if not the best RB room in the country
As noted, White is pretty beast himself, and now this Juju guy too? I’m chomping at the the bit to tee this thing up.
