Robert Hughes Jr.?

Roberson doesnt need to be sold on the idea of being a power back. he's got it already

I meant more of the type of back we saw out of the shotgun that Hughes was in several games this year, such as the Purdue game. The powerback in BK's offense seems to be out of place, but I am excited for Roberson to step in and compete for touches.

Watching the press conference, this seems to be the kid Kelly's most excited about, for whatever that's worth.

Watch his highlight film and you'll understand too. Ill look for a link

He's a kid Weis worked overtime on to convince him he had a place in the Weis offense. Like Bennett, I suspect Roberson will do even better in Kelly's offense.

Not the video i was looking for but still good (try and ignore the song)

 

[BGIF]

Looks good.

 

[D-BOE34]

I am pretty excited about this kid next year. I know Kelly was impressed with his development. Do you guys feel he wil be our #2 next year??

 

[jmurphy75]

I'm excited too, I've heard rumblings that he is "Hughes like" with more lateral talent.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I'm nearly a 100% sure he won't be our #2 next year. Wood will be number 1 and Gray will be a solid # 2. If say Huggins commits, which I highly doubt, he has a good chance to move ahead of Roberson.

 

[GreatGolson]

Cam redshirted correct?

 

[Rizzophil]

Cam redshirted correct?

That is correct Sir

 

[D-BOE34]

I like Gray because he runs hard and has good hips. I see the same thing with Cam only he seems to have really good field vision to match. I guess I could almost say I hope Cam becomes #2 back caliber with Gray and we have a deep stable of boys who can carry the ball north to south!

 

[Old Man Mike]

Gray's issues will be pass protection and ball security. Let's hope he's great at those. If not, either Roberson or McDaniel could get to #2.

Agree Gray has issues with pass protection, but he will be a senior while Roberson and Cam will be freshman. I would rather have a senior picking up the blitz than the other two.

 

[BGIF]

No, Jonesman I don't know Roberson's medical status. But this would appropriate place to look. ND coaches sometimes discuss medical career ending injuries creating a slot when discussing a new class on NSD. I think it's more common for them to do so after NSD when the hold a PC about upcoming Spring Ball. A athlete can comment anytime he choses.

 

[jonesman]

I know that many times, Kelly will give some roster updates at his signing day presser. However, I saw on DD where a guy is saying that he already heard that Cam is getting a medical. I am really hopeful he is just spouting off. Cam would be a big loss to our backfield. He was the only real power/speed guy we had.

Yep. This is disappointing news if it's true. Before the injury I heard nothing but great things about Cam. Wasn't he the scout team player of the year in 2010? We have enough talent in the backfield to be ok without him but I was really looking forward to seeing that power/speed combo on the field. Hopefully the rumor is false.

 

[Irishcop]

Was Roberson's injury that serious???

 

[jonesman]

Yes. The injury was a serious knee injury. He torn both mcl and acl. I also remember that Kelly said at one of the pressers during the fall that Cam's progress was slow.

Those are the only facts we have at this time. Since the injury occurred last spring, he has about 18 months to recover for this coming season. We really could need him in 2013. We lose Riddick for sure after 2012 and possible Wood if he passes on his 5th year.

Thanks. I would hate to lose him. I've been looking foward to seeing him on the field.

I thought the rehab was expected to go through the Spring so I wasn't looking for an update on him this soon. I commented a week or two ago that a career ending medical injury oftimes opened up an additional slot on the roster as part of normal attrition and mentioned Roberson as one with a serious injury. Don't know if that reader picked it up from my general comment on attrition. I've seen no such report from UND this winter for any football player.

 

[TheSunIsRising]

Based on the personnel updates, Cam will at least be practicing - although limited.

Hopefully he gets the rest of the mobility back over the summer.

 

[Emcee77]

Sapp and Lou somogyi of 247 both said Roberson was moving around well at practice today.

Maybe he won't need to take a medical. I hope not. He showed a lot of potential before he for hurt.

 

[jonesman]

Rumors of his demise appear to be much exaggerated. I saw him on film today and he was moving well with knee brace.

GO CAM!!! We are all rooting for you. You would be a great addition in 2013 when Cierre and Theo are gone.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

And did he look as big, for a running back, as I have heard?

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Career is done. Pursuing medical scholarship.

 

[Irishman77]

Just seen that on the prestwood tweet. What a shame. Good luck Cam.

 

[Emcee77]

Very sad, after all the hard work he did on the scout team in 2010 and in rehab in 2011 and '12. Best of luck to him.
