I was debating whether it would be Lemons, Christian, or Koback. You couldnt go wrong with any of them.

Great news, you can't teach speed like that. Been reading a lot about him.

Remember reading about him at the army combine. He was supposed to be the fastest guy there.

Awesome pickup and we will need 2-3 in the next class at RB. We lose JoJo, and have to figure that if Boom has a big year he could be gone as well. Stoops was not happy at all we were down to only 4-5 total RB's after Heard went to the NFL early and defections by Mobley..

I really wanted this kid. Legit SEC speed! Can't teach that. Welcome aboard, young man!

Nice pick-up! Guy looks like a speed demon and is also much more physical for his size than you'd initially think. Guy is a tough runner, hard to bring down and doesn't mind blocking at all. Also does a great job of catching passes out of the backfield. It seems he has the same sort of versatility that a player like Timmons has, though hopefully Koback will end up having much better hands than Timmons has displayed thus far.

BTW, does this leave Lemons on the outside looking in or does the staff find a way to make room for him too if he wants to come? Man, what a strange situation to be in...wondering if we can make room for a 4 star stud RB. LOL.

As far as I know they are looking at him as an ATH. So RB, DB, Slot are all possibilities.

If he were to play CB. Or hell safety. That would be a weapon to be reckoned with. Imagine a safety who runs a 4.3? That would be real sick and a nightmare for opposing QBs. Wish we could get multiple 4.3 4.4 guys and turn them into safeties and CBs. Would be impossible to pass against.

I thought Stoops was into 6'+ DB's. If so, I'd think he'd stay on O unless he's got another inch or two in him.

190-195# as a JR makes me think he's got 210-215 in him in a couple years. Great!

Junior Day is going to be huge with a great number of kids already committed helping to recruit others.

First team All-Ohio at RB, 4.3 speed, runs people over like it's his job, and has excellent vision. Plus he can catch the ball.

Am I missing something? The dude is only rated 3 stars.

Says he is done taking visits. His performance at the AAA combine put him on a lot of radars

He's barely a 3 star in the composite rankings. He's a 2 star on Rivals.... Hope that combine woke up the analysts.

I'll never understand the star system. If there are that many running backs out there that are betting than this guy, we're in for a lot of trouble.

Use this guy like a Darren Sproles or Danny Woodhead type back. I don't see many LBs being able to cover him in an open field situation.

Insight from @BillBankGreene on new UK RB commit Bryant Koback. Sounds like a winner. UK very excited about him. http://www.scout.com/college/football/recruiting/story/1633586-breakdown-kentucky-commit-bryant-koback…

WHAT ARE THE CONCERNS? Not too much really, but we really haven't seen Koback in pass protection much, nor have we seen him do much blocking yet. He has the frame to be effective at this skill set. He did not play against the greatest competition in high school, but production is production, and that cannot be questioned. Like all high school backs, Koback will need to work on catching the football and will also need to get stronger in the weight room. His coach raved about his work ethic, so that shouldn't be an issue at all.

What's even more surprising is he is faster than when Harris did ran at the Combine.

That is true. If Boom goes crazy this year he might jump to the NFL.

If Williams has any NFL desire he needs to stay on the field. He's missed a lot of PT the past 2 years and it's really hurt his team. If he can overcome being fragile and immature he may have a chance. '16 is very, very important for his future and he needs to rededicate himself to the game. Still, he's likely a 4 year guy.
