Based on what I've read, people love his athleticism, and some even say he's just as good as Richardson at this point.

It's quite plausible that 3rd RB spot behind Ingram and Upchurch comes down to the two highly-touted true freshmen.

I've heard the same. Athletic and very quick on shooting throuhg the line. Sounds a little bit like Grant, but maybe a little better.

I'm hoping that if Lacey can't really get a lot of PT on offense, that they might have him and/or Richardson back on kickoffs with Arenas.

In the Bham News this morning, they quoted CNS as saying that "if we have 4 at the RB position that are ready, then he has NO PROBLEM playing them all."

Nice to hear that about Eddie.

Lacy's the authentic darkhorse of this recruiting class.

If Lacey's grade situation hadn't been so "bad" he could have been a 5 star easily. Some (Less Miles comes to mind) had written him off completely. CNS believed in him & he is gonna be a great one IMO.

Physically, I think he is ready to contribute to some degree. The question will be can he prove that he can get out there and limit mistakes (not fumble, know his assignments, etc.) and make the most of the carries he gets. If he gets in a game and gets hot, Saban will let him ride, but it is a week to week thing with Saban... especially for those younger backs.

Fixed that :smile:

Think Ingram said that you must know what is going on every play and perform to get playing time.(not exactly what he said but I am just having my first cup of joe, so brain is not functioning properly)

I said blocker because that seems to be the hardest thing for new backs. Learning to pick up the blitz etc out of different formations.
