'10 CA RB Cameron Roberson (Notre Dame Signee)

[Rizzophil]

This past friday he had 3 TDs and 183 yards on 26 rushes.

Last week it looks like he ran for 123 yards on 18 carries.

I think they might have only played two games thus far. As far as I can find.

Thanks. Good stats.

This is one of my favorite guys in this class and has been having a great senior year so far.

226 carries
1452 yards
6.5 yards a carry
18 TD's

Cant wait to see how Weis uses him.

I was really glad we were able to get a bigger back this year after signing Riddick n Wood last year.

Welcome aboard Dover

thnx, just made I didnt find this board sooner

Any chance he could play OLB? Shembo is 6'2 225; Roberson is 6'1 215 with a 4.48 40. He'd be lightning off the edges. Scout is projecting him as a FB, and that seems like a waste. I think we are pretty deep at RB next season (Allen, Hughes, Gray, Riddick, Wood) with Bernard coming in hopefully. If he's used like Hughes was last season, he could turn out to be a solid RB.

 

[Rizzophil]

Whew...I got nervous when I saw a new post. I thought he would be another one wavering...

 

[GOLDENISTHYTATE]

haha as did I Rizzo. Roberson really i the power back we have been missing. He would be getting so much more attention this year if it was not for the fact that Cali had a ridiculous amount of amazing RBs coming out. Baxter, J.James, Cooper, Morgan, Clay, barr, and M. Jones are all top rbs in the country that call Cali home. This kid is a steal!

 

[Big23Head]

ISD, he is solid

Next season probably doesn't matter bc the kid probably won't be playing anyway, and next year we are loaded at OLB too (though safety is as thin as it gets). But it sounds like Kelly is the type to make moves like the one you suggest. If you read his quotes on recruiting from one of his follow up interviews, he says he looks at 3 kinds of players when he recruits - skill (QB, WR, CB), bigs (OL,DL), and big/skills (RB, LB, S) (I'm paraphrasing here and I inserted the positions that go into each group - he did not actually say which positions go into each group). Roberson would fall into the big/skills group, and it sounds to me like Kelly will play any kid in that group where ever he is (1) needed or (2) Kelly thinks he can play at a high level. So if Roberson gets on campus, Kelly sees that he's just an incredible athlete who has the football instincts to play anywhere, and there is a hole in the depth chart 1-2 years out at a position other than RB/FB, he may very well switch the kid.

cierre woods can play saftey next year

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

Anybody else think this might be the most under the radar, underrated, one of the best recruits of the class? I do!

#2 FB on Scout, Rivals #14 RB how underrated can he be?

 

[Corry]

Scout lists him as a FB.

 

[Domina Nostra]

Scout: #2 FB and 3 stars...
ESPN: #39 RB, medium 3 star at 77.

...he could be underrated by 1-2 stars.

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

#2 RB on Scout, Rivals #14 RB how underrated can he be?

Just seems out of all of our recruits that he is one that seems to never get mentioned or talked about. Just flying under the radar.

no way wood plays safety next year. everyone starts with a clean slate this year and wood has as good a chance at anyone as being the #1 RB

then he has as good a chance at anyone as being the #1 S

hes #2 FB

 

[irishandy]

Cierre Wood as a safety!! Are you kidding me?? I think Wood should've gotten playing time last year. If Roberson can play FB, put him there the only guy we have is Hughes.

 

[jason_h537]

Yeah Cierre has got the tools to be a great RB its just a mater of if he can stay healthy and putit all together. I love Roberson and if Gio flips i wont be heartbroken because this kid could play. Let him sit for a year and he can be our powerback

 

[BGIF]

... its just a mater of if he can stay healthy and putit all together. ...

Did Wood have a health problem last year that raises that question. I don't recall hearing anything to that effect.

No but its football.

 

[BGIF]

Oh

 

[IrishandColts]

He committed

 

[jason_h537]

Love me some Roberson. Will be a great compliment to Wood/ Riddick if we run the ball

 

[Dacian_Irish]

Is he recruited as RB still? I wonder if he is moved to MLB....

 

[faithfulfan]

I doubt it. From watching the interview with our RB coach this morning, he gives rave reviews about this kid. Says he is a big body with homerun ability. Reggie Brooks giving Jerome Bettis comparison on body style. Said he may be better suited for FB.

 

[jason_h537]

does Kelly use a FB?

Roberson is a RB not MLB. There never was any mention of him playing defense in the entire recruitment process

 

[faithfulfan]

I'm not sure if he uses FB. Possibly some sort of slot back.
