Michigan State Transfer RB - Jared Mangham Commits to Gophers!

[Ski-U-Ham]

 

[PMWinSTP]

Big back.

 

[GringaGopher]

Good news. We have seen the need to have options in the RB room.

 

[A_Slab_of_Bacon]

Can’t have too many RBs.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Good depth. Has some experience and has scored some TDs

 

[mngg11]

Pretty nice add! Lots of weapons on offense

 

[U2Gopher]

Can’t have too many RBs.

Not in this offense you can’t.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

PJ has to meet the mens bb coach and provide some advice

 

[GopherMarroon]

He's had zero fumbles over his career, if I'm reading that right at ESPN stats.

His yards per carry was low.

He caught the ball once for every four times he rushed.

 

[Gopher_Devil]

Now we can keeps DT fresh and run the rest of the RBs into the ground!

JK seems like another Majors type of take but if they’re both happy then so am I!

I think if "have fresh RB" was really a big advantage ... we'd see a lot more games with a ton of evenly distributed carriers.

In reality, better RB ... better results. Fresh less good RB ... not great results.

Also depend IMO on the blocking and scheme. Some RBs are full speed right away guys, others are magical how they wait for a hole and find it.

So this is his 4th school?

Colorado > USF > Michigan State > Minnesota

Gotta collect’m all!

 

[Out State Gopher]

Welcome aboard. Looking forward to him helping make our offense ground pounding, conservative, efficient & successfull.

 

[watertown 1987 guy n]

I’m sure there is a place and roll for him. Good to see his experience.

 

[btowngopher]

Nice add, looks like a physical runner and also looks solid as pass catcher and in pass protection. Nice Bryce Williams replacement.

 

[GophersInIowa]

His brother is a safety and also in the portal.

I figured that was his brother--just finished a pretty strong sophomore season and has visits lined up with Ohio State, Nebraska, and Michigan. Hopefully, his last visit will be in Dinkytown

Leroy Hoard. Bet he can pass block, too.

 

[Mustang68]

He'll be a 6th year senior, with strong football genes. His grandpa is in the Ferris State basketball Hall of Fame (30 ppg average), and his dad was a LB at Bowling Green in the 90's.

 

[Gophers7NatTitlesBadgers0]

Leroy Hoard. Bet he can pass block, too.

If we need two, he'll get three. If we need five, he'll get three.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

If we need two, he'll get three. If we need five, he'll get three.

Greatest quote in the history of football.

Why not? You get free stuff at each school.

 

[GopherMarroon]

If we need two, he'll get three. If we need five, he'll get three.

Technically:

"If you need one yard, I'll get you three yards. If you need five yards, I'll get you three yards."


He had nice hands to catch. Good vision. Not great but good.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Little surprised to see another RB but after last year I am all for adding as much depth at the RB position as possible.

Could also be providing special teams depth?

 

[Border Gopher]

Fills the giant void caused by Trent Howland's departure .....

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Can’t have too many RBs.

Fo we have enough ?

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Merch!

This is up there with one of the other Denny greats about MN weather - "I understand the weather pattern picks up the Calcutta Clipper — swings down, swings up, lake front influence, then out."
