Vince’s Deep Sleeper RBs for 2010
Sunday, August 8th, 2010
Don’t get caught napping on these 14 players with nothing but upside…
Restorative sleepers
Ronnie Hillman, San Diego State - off redshirt/grayshirt, great offensive coaches and have seen his name in two different papers. There is a reason I have him listed first as a sleeper because I think he has a great opportunity, but i will temper my excitement by saying he went undrafted in the 24-team 16-round NCAA Project league that values youth moreso than others.
James Montgomery, Washington State - formerly of Cal, and Cougars can’t be that bad again. Can they? Weird injury last year kept him out, I expect him to contribute if healthy.
Derrick Hall, Tulsa – JUCO could be the #1 on the juggernaut, but lots of RB to fight with. Mr. Steele calls for Hall to be the starter ahead of Jamad Williams.
Damien Berry, Miami (FL) – (right) Schedule is brutal, but lots of talent and Berry put on good weight in expectation of the lead role. I know he had 8 TD last year but he has generated no excitement in mock drafts this 2010 pre-season. Health of RB/WR Graig Cooper will have inverse impact on Berry.
Pat Shed, UAB – an offense in need of new leader, a conference bereft of defense, we may have a deep fantasy sleeper.
Alex Green, Hawaii – more than a blocker in Mouse Davis’ run and shoot, Alex Green might be the next Nate Ilaoa. My wife just asked me why I was giggling with joy.
Al-Terek McBurse, Purdue – new #1 RB (given Ralph Bolden injury) with a new QB in Robert Marve.
Ronnie Wingo, Arkansas - a bit of a logjam in Fayetteville, but I feel Wingo is the top back in the Bobby Petrino offense. And Petrino commits to running more.
Deep-REM sleepers



The Scene: Bryant-Denny Stadium, November 17th, 2007. A back-up tailback scores the game-tying third-quarter touchdown in one of the biggest upsets of the season, as Louisiana-Monroe stunned Alabama 21-14 in front of announced crowd of over 92,000…the vast majority Crimson Tide fans.
