Brian Kelly brought in Lance Taylor because he understood that after Dexter Williams and Jafar Armstrong, the roster desperately needed a game breaker at RB and I believe that Tyree will provide that. What I like about him is that he runs an offense quite similar to what ND runs right now. Driskell has a nice analysis about how he can be used in the screen game, how excellent his vision is, etc. If he does commit and sign, you wonder if the staff would like for him to EE..the one vice here is that he's a pretty small guy right now and several months with Balis would do wonders.
Don't think anyone could argue with the production Denson was able to get out of Prosise, Folston, Adams and Williams but he was fortunate to have Alford's recruits and he just was unable to consistently land a top RB. What I haven't seen talked about is that Alford, in addition to landing top backs, was responsible for landing a lot of elite talent other than the RB position. Kelly seems confident because he's sent Taylor out on trips to visit players who aren't RB so that says something here.
