I think you mean 2023 but yea I agree Ky has  a clear path to becoming the primary back after playing with deuce for a year

Look, I hope we get him, but it defies logic that he would transfer from a situation when he was the primary ball carrier, behind one of the best offensive lines in America, to back up an All American running behind a line that needs to be rebuilt. Possibly becoming the primary ball carrier in 2023 when you can definitely be the primary ball carrier in 2022 doesn't seem like a great sell to me, particularly when this staff already missed on this player, when there wasn't an incumbent starting running back.

I hope I'm wrong but the set up isn't ideal for him to come here

I believe Mohamad Ibrahim is returning next year for Minnesota, so he probably would be playing behind him.  I kinda thought that is why he was transferring in the first place, and if so would really not make sense for him to come here.  Do we even know why he left?  Just wanted to be closer to family?  Playing time?  Girlfriend?  I don't think I have ever heard a reason for him leaving.

Trey Potts, too. The Gophers have a lot of mouths to feed in the backfield.

They also have that other freshman that got almost as many touches as Ky in the bowl game. While he possibly would have been first in line for carries to start the year, that backfield could’ve been pretty crowded if he’d have stayed.

Our OL next year will be better than this year IMO.  Poitier, Panzer,Leingang > Rivas,Adler, Johnson

He was only the primary ball carrier after 2-3 guys in front of him got hurt, and it sounds like they are all coming back.  He wouldn’t be the primary guy if he stayed.

Remember when we had the NFL’s second heaviest OL back in 1998 or so? Nothing but hogmollies and road-graders. Sound like beef is back on the menu at Kansas State.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

They need someone to block for them, which they currently don’t have.

Interesting that you sound out "are bee" there. But I do the same with "NC" (national championship).
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

I think he’s just a really big fan of himself.
