With Jahvid Best being injured, and Montgomery leaving (to coach the basketlball team apparently), CAL's tailback position has a few question marks. This is what I can see of the situation now. Hopefully, others can fill in more.
Jahvid Best: (5-11, 185, 4.4) No guarantees, but seems to be coming along well from his injury. He ran individual drills during Spring Practice, but no drills with the team. If healthy, he's the number 1 guy.
Terry Slocum: (5-10, 192, 4.5) (5-9, 170, 4.5) Showed some good running in Spring practice. Doesn't have the pure speed of Best, but is tough between the tackles. At this point, he's the number 2 guy.
Shane Vareen: Injured hamstring for Spring drills. When healthy, he will battle Slocum for the #2 role. All three of these guys should see playing time.
Cameron DeBoskie: (6-0, 186, 4.48) May redshirt if others all healthy, or could see playing time if not. A bit faster than Slocum, and a bit larger than Vareen, he could be a very effective runner in time.

All sounds good to me, except I believe it's "Tracy" Slocum and "Cavonaugh" DeBoskie.
I think Cal's running backs will be great as usual. Best has the ability to be one of the "Best"

I think I was half asleep when I wrote that, (being a morning person). Yeah, Tracy Slocum, and Covaughn DeBoskie. I was looking right at their names while writing the post, too.
Thanks for the correction.

glad you made it out to practice, I wanted to go but couldn't make it. Ive been impressed with Jahvid but always thought he lacked a good amount of size. Looking at those numbers though, I guess hes really not that small. I definitely think Covaughn will have a huge impact in a couple years, which is nice. What did you see along the lines of receivers- considering DeSean is a dumbass and should have stayed.

I didn't make it to practices, but I have been reading info on the web to get a feel for things. With the receivers, I don't have as clear a picture, but I can say that we have plenty of talent, but not much experience. I think we'll be okay. I expect Cameron Morrah (TE) to see a lot of work until the QB's can trust the wideouts a bit more.

Breaking down the Offense next year:
I don't see any of the WR's having a breakout year(with the exception of Nyan Boateng), but I think that Tedford will be able to get solid production out of the group. Larelleylle Cunningham, Michael Calvin, And Boateng are my projected starters. The O-line should be great with Alex Mack, Mike Tepper, Chet Teofilo, Noris Malele, and Matt Summers-Gavin.
