Ryan Williams is just a running back. Albeit, Ryan Williams appears to be a far more complete running back than Cyrus Gray or Jonas Gray. Williams' highlight tape just showcases the total package, which is probably why Charlie Weis was so big on him. The guy can flat out avoid tacklers and even catch the ball in stride. That spin move Ryan put on one of those kids while going full speed was just unreal.

But, again, Cyrus Gray seems just more versatile.

What you say is plausible. It could be that there is a spot open for Cyrus Gray, as opposed perhaps to Ryan Williams, because he can also play QB. But unlike Harper and Robinson, he hasn't been recruited at all at that position from what I've seen, so it would be a stretch. Based on what Weis has said about numbers, I think it's likely that if either Gray or Williams (though only one of the two, of course) decides that he wants to come to ND, he'll be accepted.

Let's try to no get too side tracked here guys. Keep this thread about Jonas as much as possible and talk about Cyrus, and Chris in their threads.

Jonas Gray on the other IMO of course is more of a traditional everydown RB who's got more power than finesse but isn't that pure power guy like Hughes. Gray will run inside and out but make no mistake his bread and butter is staying within the tackles.

Hughes has some wiggle too... but I get your point.
