So our rb rotation will likely be: Scott, Baldwin, Lloyd.

That'll be just fine.

 

David Ellis started to be used in the backfield as the rotation was hit by injury late last season. I’d look for him to be there a fair amount during spring.

He was the first guy I thought of as a potential position change but I assume that would require the WR corp (esp Whop) to stay healthy and Rashawn Williams ability to start day one unless there’s a RS Freshman whos made strides. Da’Shaun Brown immediately comes to mind along with Jordan Jakes.

Keep an eye on Jacolby Hewitt along those lines if he comes back healthy from a torn ACL. Ellis will likely be a guy that moves around a lot just to get him the ball a little like how Taylor was used before he moved to defense.

i don't think we had too much depth at rb. just because you a half dozen rb's doesn't mean depth. they have to have better than average talent. only scott proved that. sampson may have but couldn't gain any traction until scott went down late. he only had one decent game. walker was terrible, along the lines of majette or devonte williams (i think that's his name). never saw any of those 3 ever break a tackle or juke a defender. not one time. gest? meh. we need an upgrade of overall talent at the position 

No argument from me.  Who knows why some of the players weren't able to perform on the football field.  

I was talking in terms of a 'Depth Chart' meaning there's players behind the starters.  That doesn't mean, as you have clearly indicated here that they're productive on the field.  It just means, the roster has backups to fill a spot should a spot need filled.  IU now has some holes to fill the depth chart.

I think he simply overreacted to the Ballou news.

Wellman has an IU connection.

Jon Blau - Aaron Wellman began his career as a graduate assistant at IU (1996-98). He then spent three years as an assistant strength and conditioning coach for the Hoosiers.
