Interesting Stuff from Greg's Blog

He mentions the depth chart and Ricky Ponton now being listed under Ben Williams and Aston Samuels at RB.  Mike Ford isn't listed yet, and there is no mention of Mo Plancher.

does ponton has issues?

had great promise...what happened?

Not shocking at all, especially after Ricky's act at the bowl game.

If im correct i believe Plancher will be seating out spring drills that may be a reason he is not listed

Regardless, I have never been high on Ponton. He runs well in spurts and can do some damage as a change of pace back. However, I never thought he'd be a good everydown back.

I would have to think that is the case coming off of that type of injury.

As much as I like Williams, he better not start the Auburn game......

I have said since last spring that Samuels will be a big time player.  He and Ford could be a great thunder lightning combo...

It seems like Ponton needed Hall in order to maximize his potential.  When Ponton ran on the downs that Hall sat out, he looked real good to me.  When Hall graduated, I thought, "Well, that is OK -- we have Ponton who will develop into a back close to Hall's talent".  That didn't happen and I think the suspension gave him an attitude that will never allow him to live up to his potential.  Remember -- he did have a 100 yard game.  But has really disappointed otherwise.

It is imperative that we have a good running game or Matt will not make the season.  He will have a target on him from game one due to his injury and the lack of depth at QB and RB.  The kid is awesome and is and will be a part of USF history, but he can't take the hits that come with being the only running game we have.

if ponton remains a bull i will be surprised

no redshirt freshman ahead of williams???

usf needs to recruit better talent

[The Sheriff]

Williams is not better than Ponton... Can you say the Leavitt playing mind games. Hopefully Ricky will perform in Spring ball and will get his spot back.
