A long suspected verbal commitment was confirmed Christmas morning in the Gainesville fishwrap:

808 yards on 132 results into a 6.1 avg per carry. Hopefully that will also transend into average per carry numbers at Liberty.

Another big back...add him to Richardson, Mosley, Kaigler and Macon along with big FBs Kennedy and Fualaau and it seems we are looking like more of a pounding physical run style with Abnar and Smith the lightning complements

Weighs 230 and runs the 40 in 4.5. Are those Rashad Jennings-like numbers?

We offered him early and he appears to be a nice small school find for us in North Florida.

I also should have mentioned Des Rice though he is a shade below 200 in that stable of backs I mentioned above. with this pickup that tells me that Toomer is probably either a WR or maybe a QB also. He really would give some spark to the QB competition in the fall especially with his desire to play immediately as SCAR astutely mentioned

BJ says he is so, like The Internets' it must be true!!! Quit being so obtuse!

Not that I can tell, im more speculating and projecting where his best fit would be and how he would fit in plans here should he sign with the Flames (which would be a huge get for us I think)

It sounds like it is time for Scar to give Chris a ring to find out where things stand for C.J. and whether or not we offered him.

As for Buddy, welcome to the LU Family!

Nice pic of Buddy and family in Liberty Gear on local paper fb page.

Nice find, FlaFan. And don't be such a stranger.

We really have focused on getting big bodies at RB the last few classes, going with a more physical running attack

Thanks, Sly Fox, kinda got excited about Homecoming this year. Gonna try to get the son and fam to come up. We miss the days.

IF you make the run, look for me and my crew there.
