I never like predicting the CyHawk game, but I’m putting it down as a win at home. Due for a win, and Campbell likely hasn’t forgotten 2017 when we had them beat at JTS but couldn’t seal the deal.

Jarvis had some good games, but throwing him a fade just baffled me, considering we had a genius for a O.C.
SCREW IOWA.. I believe we win that game
I'm not a dude, unless you are saying I'm a male. Otherwise, "Wise Mentor" designation would be appropriate.
CMC has proven that he will play the best player regardless of age/experience. I understand that Jahril will have to be special to takes snaps from upperclassmen, but I think he is capable. I just think his character and athleticism will make it hard not to play him. Time will tell.
He will be a very good player.
He’s also competing with other high character and athletic backs already here for spring ball.
It’ll be interesting to see who gets the bulk of the carries. I’m guessing most of the snaps are Kene, Breece & Sheldon, but literally nothing would surprise me.
That’s a nice problem to have.
The tight ends will be a strength for the team. If they can add a couple threats on the outside, they will be dangerous for sure. I don't think CMC will ever allow an Iowa-esque offense that relies primarily on the Tight Ends though

I could see Hall and Brock alternate games up to the max of 4 and both or at least one of them will redshirt.
I'm sure glass will RS. Would make sense to have Hall or Brock RS to prolong the depth of the RB room.
I actually hope Kene steps up this year. His speed would bring a totally new dimension to our offense. We just need him to show he can be tough between the tackles so we can see him get more opportunities. Its too predictable to just put him in for a reverse or a counter.

He could always play up to four games and still redshirt, which is what I see probably happening.
Sure, but in his first year, Campbell had a returning 1000 yard back in Warren and Montgomery slowly stole carries away from him, starting the last few games. I'm thinking Hall will take the same route. First game, Croney and Nwangwu will see most of the carries. By the end of the year, Hall will be starting.
You are sort of right. Brock was the higher rated by 247’s Composite score—largely because Rivals was being dumb on Hall. But as for 247’s own rankings, Breece was higher that Jirehl, something like 135 to 211.

Was responding to your question and not calling you a dude, meant the Kansas state fan that goes by jerse or such. You may have him blocked, I sense several do.
Hall and Brock give you different things. I think it will come down to who Campbell thinks will be his best option to win games and go there. I believe Hall is already here, so he will have a better grasp of the offense, or at least should, and that will limit him less for available plays right away.
I think you have it about right, based on what CMC has done in the past. Remember, Croney looked pretty darn good in the game he was featured (Baylor?). And I still think the staff likes Kene as a change of pace type guy, so closer to 10 carries than 20.
And don't forget, this staff historically likes to talk up the young guys early, but then we don't see them a whole lot (with a few exceptions like Mike Rose). Now, maybe this changes with Manning back, and the 4-games still redshirt rule.
That rule is really neat, as guys like Brock and Hall can play in 4 games, get some meaningful carries and game experience, and STILL redshirt. Think that really helps the non-blue blood teams a lot.
After watching their videos, I was always a bigger fan of Hall than Brock. Hall seems bigger and faster than Brock. However, after watching them in their respective all-star games, I became more of a Brock fan. He seems to find a hole where other backs can't, a skill which will come in handy with our O-line.
Hall looked good in his game too, but as a receiver out of the backfield. He made some catches in that game that would put some WRs to shame. I wouldn't be surprised if Hall is used a lot in passing situations.

Gotta, was not upset at all. Just like to banter with all ...LOL. But, I do still suggest that I am a Wise Mentor.
