2021 vs 2016 running back depth

The 2021 depth looks dramatically upgraded compared to the group Kalani inherited. 2017 was the low point for the position group in the last couple decades.

2021
Tier 1: Tyler Allgeier (SO)
Tier 2: Lopini Katoa (JR) and Miles Davis (FR)
Tier 3: Hinckley Ropati (SO) and Sione Finau (SO) and Jackson McChesney (FR)
Tier 4: Mason Fakahua (FR) and Luc Andrada (FR)
Tier 5: Beau Robinson (FR)

2016
Tier 1: Jamaal Williams (SR)
Tier 2: Squally Canada (SR), Algie Brown (SR)
Tier 3: KJ Hall (SO), Riley Burt (JR)

On top of that, a guy I'm very curious to witness: Nasilai.

I see him backing up Masen Wake

I think that's right. I think his athletic upside is higher, though.

Yea, williams sure is worse than anyone in the 2021 group. right.

Squally and Algie were both pretty good

Neither looked great in 2016

Algie looked pretty good in 2015. We assumed he would be good in 2016 like we're

Algie switched positions to fullback in the offseason

The OL is kinda a big deal, I really liked Brown

W/ Allgeier's meteoric rise I think it's fair to put him right up there w Jamaal

SinkingQuffa

It's tough to conpare. The o-line in 2016 was awful and Jamaal was still

I tend to think that two things occured last year for his meteoric rise

Borg

Those things can't be ignored. We shall see how he translates.

I'm sure this will be a hit and run when you realize you failed to read it

6/14/21 11:26am

Yes, but they are 4 scholarships short in other areas. It is always a balancing

What position group is short on scholarships?

I know you hate Kalani and this staff more than anyone, but waaat???

I actually think depth was better in that 2016 group

Not really

"Measurables to be good starters" is so speculative

reddead

Squally wasn’t proven prior to the 2016 season. He had a few carries (or one?)

6/14/21 9:44am

That's not the question, though

reddead

6/14/21 10:08am

Brown averaged 2.7 yards per carry and was converted to fullback

Kalani's recruiting philosophies & methods are very diff than Bronco's.

When you consider that unless you have 3 starter quality running backs your

Brown turned into a FB for that year and wasn't at all what he used to be.

I think Ropati will surprise everyone this year!

This last year has been good. Consistency is what I'm looking for...but

How do you justify putting Miles in tier 2 and Ropati in tier 3

StantonMac

6/14/21 2:17pm

It's clearly a priority for Roderick to get Miles more touches

If I had a nickel for every time a coach said something like that…
