| "too small" to play in the B10...RR comments everywhere about "small players"...Does he play this year??/..Probably not but he has something "ya can't coach" is SPEED and athleticism. He has GREAT acceleration as well....
He's supposed to be a fantastic kick/punt returner...So if he EVEN offers that then that's perfect.. we have NOBODY that can "break away" on KR's. Our KR game has been nothing less than awful for YEARS...NOTHING since Breaston...Stonum had a few good returns but nothing more
They all told Jamie Morris he was "too small"...Darren Sproles wasn't supposed to be "a player" in college or the NFL either...

| Agree on the size issue. There's that Emmit Smith guy that was pretty good. Mike Hart, Barry Sanders and the list could go on and on. Size is not indicative of their performance. | |

| Amen brother!
I also like that we stole a recruit back from Cinci. Take that pricks! They got our 3 star linemen and we got their 4 star RB/All Purpose Back.

| we can always hope... But I've been disappointed before on RB's that are small, but great in space, electric, etc. (Ex. Sam McGuffie) I followed Mike Hart's recruiting. In high school, he was small, but he had unbelievable lower body strength and ran low, and broke tackles. If Norfleet can succeed as RB, he will need that attribute, which I'm hoping for. | |

| I don't know what to think of him at this point. The lack of major offers conerns me that multiple coaches see things on tape that they don't like. Obviously the size issue first off. I like his highlights but his size is a huge concern in the Big Ten. I don't see him ever becoming a feature back, but he could be our KR/PR of the future. | |

| I bet he gets some decent amount of playing time this fall. Might not start but he'll make an impact pretty quickly. | |

| With Odoms, Grady, and Stonum all gone, I'm sure he'll see the field on kick returns. Gallon is the only KR with experience returning, and I think he'll be an integral part of the offense.
