This is a business and sometimes as a leader you need to adjust plans or make tough decisions. It is unfortunate that the offer changed, but it comes with the territory. Hope the young guy gets another opportunity somewhere else.
Hines worked out exclusively with the SB group this past Spring Ball…as did RS frosh Jordan Johnson….after both were signed by TG as hybrid RB/SB (which does not appear to be an significant part of the Shoe’s offensive package). Both had limited reps due to injuries. Hines also worked out with PR group.Palolo_2LA wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 3:18 am The RB room has been upgraded with Boyd, Hines and Moton. I LIke these playmakers and potential. I think Boyd has the highest upside at RB bc the other 2 RBs are tiny.
Figured Hines would be a SB type...Moton is 5'8 190, so he might be thick however still small for an RB in D1.kapakahi wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 8:04 amHines worked out exclusively with the SB group this past Spring Ball…as did RS frosh Jordan Johnson….after both were signed by TG as hybrid RB/SB (which does not appear to be an significant part of the Shoe’s offensive package).

Nasjza Bryant got the majority of the 2nd team RB reps during Spring Ball while Ronsin Young got the majority of the 3rd team RB reps. While both demonstrated the potential to be contributors, still neither has any extensive D1 playing experience. Only returning Super Senior RB Dedrick Parson has extensive
D1 playing experience as a proven contributor.

Saw Moton with his dad at Spring Ball in person and can share that he’s definitely not tiny. He looks like a slightly smaller version of Dedrick Parson…with a similar thick muscular build.
While Boyd and/or Moton might be ready to play immediately this season, I still wouldn’t be surprised if a new transfer RB with extensive D1 playing experience is subsequently added to the RB room (based on what happened last season when RB1 Daedae Hunter got injured with RB2 Dedrick Parson still available & ready to play).
Best power back that I have seen at UH was Wilbert Haslip.Palolo_2LA wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 10:16 amFigured Hines would be a SB type...Moton is 5'8 190, so he might be thick however still small for an RB in D1.kapakahi wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 8:04 amHines worked out exclusively with the SB group this past Spring Ball…as did RS frosh Jordan Johnson….after both were signed by TG as hybrid RB/SB (which does not appear to be an significant part of the Shoe’s offensive package).

I'm hopefully we get a power back a la West Kelikipi or Nate the Great.
Looks like offer was limited/contingent at UH? Nonetheless, Good luck young man.kapakahi wrote: ↑Mon Jul 04, 2022 12:12 am Going to Northern Colorado. https://twitter.com/davidafari_/status/1543776948639485952
