'11 TX RB Kenneth Farrow (Verbal to Houston)

[buffaholic]

Will convert to a safety at Houston.

Well that's a validation for JE/EB since we have said Safety is not a need-spot and Houston will put him on defense right away....

I still don't get it. Is the coach really going to get 10 more better players by signing day? I think the coach wanted to send a message that an offer to CU has value and is an exclusive thing. You got the sense with hawk that it was "all aboard!"

As has been said, he's likely converting to Safety for Houston, maybe the previous staff had the same plans. Embree's on record as saying he's fine with the safety depth. I think Embree just wants to get the players he feels the team NEEDS. That said, if you look at rankings alone, something like 50% of the running backs project out in the same range as Farrow, I wish him the best, but he's not an irreplaceable athlete in the mold of an Adrian Peterson. It just cones down to who the staff feels will fit their plans better.

The 2012 Houston Cougars have been commonly referred to on Cullen Boulevard as the “Charles Sims Show.” Why not? All the running back and potent pass catcher did a season ago was rank third nationally in yards per rush (7.5) while silencing crowds from El Paso to New Orleans with his sudden bursts of speed. However, Friday it was Kenneth Farrow – a redshirt safety from a year ago creating the buzz in the backfield.
