Breaking News: Moody a Gator

[Groovatron]

Hopefully, this will give Urban the feature back he has been lacking. Good news either way.

Great pickup.

[RedAlert]

How loaded is the USC backfield? Geez..

[Groovatron]

Yeah, Red, when I read the article and it said he was competing w/ 9 other backs I thought, " No wonder he's looking to transfer."

[Feel Real Good]

I'll take it but CJ Spiller is who I would have really loved.

[SnookAU]

Moody stated that he wanted to be the "main" guy somewhere.  I guess USC wouldn't commit to that.

Wow, so UF's "feature" back ran from a competitive landscape in USC.  Congrats on beating out the powerhouse known as UNC for this guy............ 
 

All kidding aside, I do question a guy who does not want to face stiff competition.....

still a good athelete based on what I have read.

I don't think Moody didn't want to face stiff comp.  He kind of got screwed actually.  He was to be the starter, gut hurt, and when he came back he found himself behind 3-4 guys.  No guy should lose his job to injury.  I liked Moody and wish him well.  He is very good and I think he was smart to leave.  I worry that others may follow, with Carroll bringing in so many of these guys.  Some no doubt will have to change positions, and I worry that hurts our recruiting in the future.  Not to mention he kicked a player off the team who had talked about transferring.  I wonder if Carroll is really leaving after this year as rumored and doesn't worry about future damage done.....  I sure hope not.

moody will have some competition at UF as well.

[ranman]

Thx usc.  I wasn't aware of the whole story - just the snippets I have read recently.

Who does Moody have to compete with next year at RB???
A 5'4 155 lb kid from Lakeland?

I really wonder if Meyer told him that he doesn't typically have a "feature back"?  ... imagine that part of the recruiting process probably was never directly answered

[Groovatron]

BigDaddy, since he's only been a head coach for what--6 years, 2 of those @ UF--what do you mean he doesn't typically have a feature back?

[GameTime]

hmmm, that guy from lakeland is bigger than an old timer named warrick dunn, and i think he did pretty good for himself.  but after that he's gotta pass moore, walker, fayson, williams, williams,   james, and worry about harvin and thompson stealing carries.

[LA BUC]

He became a starter last year because of injurys . He's a good back he's quick with real good move's, but SC is loaded so he's a little to small and not fast enough to compete with the future pro's. Don't get me wrong he did great as a freshmen,  I just did'nt see him as the TB.  SC needs the roster spot for that CB thats was headed to Miami.

[surgeandsettle]

groove: since he's been a head coach, how many true "touch the ball 20+ times per game" feature backs has he had?

Warrick Dunn is/was bigger than Rainey .... the kid is TINY --- fast as hell, you bet ... but VERY small
