I am guessing:

1. Horton
2. King
3. Kemp

Horton apparently had a pretty good spring and King made a lot of strides. Haven't heard much about Joe Joe (not sure if he had an injury or not). JMO, though. :)

He ran hard at the scrimmage that I was at, so believe me he's in the rotation.

I also expect asim rose to play some this year or move positions. Kid is too good of an athlete to not see the field for 3 years. I'd say they give him a lot this fall early just to evaluate him and then we'll know.

That's great to hear. Thanks for sharing that. At least we know he's not injured. However, if he was running hard and we haven't heard much about him, I hope it's only because the coaches can't mention everybody. :)

Horton is playing at another level for him. Saw the practice and he's running harder which takes him to another level just because of his physical power. If he learns to lower his pads he'll be real tough to handle and hard to keep off the field. (and hang on to the ball).

JoJo looked perfectly fine and was the same ole hard running straight ahead JoJo. Broke 6 tackles one long run down the left side. He will get his minutes just because of his reliability and toughness when yards tough yards are needed. IMO he's better than a situational back and would be playing big minutes at some other places but we just have real good depth art RB.

This offense is a better fit for Horton. He tried to much to be like the other backs and less a pounder. Gran is instilling 1 cut and get your *** up the field. Horton is a guy that has great feet and good speed for his size. He just needs to be more patient.

judging from Booms enthusiasm on the sideline during the scrimmage,, it looked like he is taking on a leadership role on the team this year. He really couldn't have looked more enthusiastic! It was good to see.

I think Gran has it right.
