Embree's RB recruiting philosophy

Said Embree: "I've told 'EB' everyone he recruits from here on he has to look up to him. I've kind of got that parameter to start with. I think it's important to have a big back." (For the record, Bieniemy is 5-9.)

So, a giant "yes, please" on Brown and Payne.

Added:

But it's comforting to have a Chris Brown (former CU back who was 6-3, 220). They wear you down, they help you wear the other team down. When you're trying to put a game away in the fourth quarter, and that big battering ram keeps coming at you, it helps

Can't say for sure, but man, against Cal and Wazzou, what a difference this could have made in the 4th quarter.

Nothing wrong with having a scat back or 2. But when all you have is scat backs...
 
This is exactly right and exactly why we need Wes. BTW, I'm 5'10" on a good day and Bienemy is no less than two inches shorter than myself. 5'6" is my guess.
 
Yeah, I don't think it's even a recruiting philosophy overall just that we have so many small backs on the roster that we need to bring in big guys for balance.

we all know what scat means - that's right... now re read that quote replacing scat with the real 4 letter word

glad someone was paying attention.
 
I had posted on wrong thread - go get 2 BIG backs (220+ 6') and 1 or 2 fullbacks that can catch the ball
