I definitely dont think hall is a difference maker. Then again, when you look back at the last 20 years of super panther football (or at least going back to the start of the Walt era), there is no real correlation between recruiting rankings and high impact running backs for the super panthers. I dont think anyone could possibly dispute that shady was the best running back of past 20 years, and he was one of the two guys that were truly highly ranked....but the other highly ranked guy was rushel shell.
This is fair, but out of the 4 4 star RBs on the roster, one of them has to actually be a difference maker, no? Hall doesn't seem to be that guy.
4 star backs in the Walt—current era: shady, ray graham, shell, chris james, hall, chris burns, Kevin collier, conridge collins. Shady and graham are distinctly better than the rest of those guys. Most of those guys were stiffs. So to the esteemed mr. brown’s question “one of them has to actually be a difference maker, no?” The answe is....no.
