"The Johnson County Flash" was bigger, had World Class speed (just ask Carl Lewis) and gave 100% every play. There will never be another talent like Herschel so let's don't even waste time having that debate.....how soon we forget.....and Herschel was also an honors student at his High School.........All of these young bloggers need to watch the old films of Walker leading the Bulldogs to a National Championship.

I have watched him play football & Basketball and his behaviour was terrible. My favorite being the Ealey for Heisman towel he pulled out and danced and waved at a WTOC/11 news camera after a touchdown in a close playoff game (A game that should'nt have been close). He has the potential and I wish him the best but when he gets pushed at GA, we will seperate the men from the boys and so far he has never had to deal with that. Another great example would be the Brooks co. game of the champ season,he was like school on saturday. The biggest hurdle for Ealey will be his attitude.

Caleb King is not a good running back. Yes he tore up class AA high school defenders in the state of Georgia, but he is not translating that well to the college game. He has the chance to be in the national spotlight as UGA's next star RB. However, he is putting forth no effort. He doesn't run hard and is a terible blocker. In fact if Caleb King starts, UGA will not win 6 games this year. He is going to he a HUGE BUST. 2. Ealy...the verdict is still out. He is not a 4.4 guy, but he is big, strong, and powerful. I'm personally looking forward to seeing what he can do at the next level. Only knock on him is that he racked up all those yards playing class A ball against sub-par defenders. 3. Richard Samuel and Carlton Thomas should be the two guys. Samuel is a big, powerful runner. He runs hard, unlike Caleb King. Samuel also has some speed in the open field. His all-round excellent running ability coupled with Carlton Thomas' "change of pace" style would be a great combination in the backfield. Plus if we can get some production from Ealy, that would be a pretty stacked backfield. There is a reason Samuel beat out King last year, before the injury, and hopefully he will do the same this year. If Samuel starts and gets the majority of carries with Thomas and Ealy accompanying, UGA will win 10 games again and have a chance to do some pretty good things this year. Lets not forget that Joe Cox is a winner, and with him and Richard Samuel in the backfield, it will be a good season. If King starts, not so much.... 1. Caleb King is not a good running back.

He hasn't had a chance to prove himself, except on kickoffs. He may to work on his ball handling. Why do you think Richard Samuel sucks? He hasn’t had a chance to prove himself, except on kickoffs.

The RB that can block will get the starting job. The QB has to be protected. I don't see a Knowshon in any of these RBs. All of these running backs can get the job done. Welcome to UGA Ealey. The OL will be stronger in two more years. When is the last time UGA has seen a veteran OL. wow.go dawgs. The OL will be better this year. The RB that can block will get the starting job.

He just didn't have the vision to be a great back when he was matched up with the best. Every time I saw him run, he took the hand-off and ran straight into the D Tackle. Probably doesn't have a quick enough mind to make decisions at the college level. Class A football usually produces recruits worthy of FCS teams only. This guy will probably be a bust at the college football level. He just can't compete with the SEC defenses. He was particularly bad during the Under Armour All American Game.
