Are we pulling 3 RB's in the 2014 class?

I know we didn't sign one in February after the Hicks de-commitment but Wilkerson over at ESPN had a piece that talked about it... He thinks a 3rd RB is definitely a must in the '14 class and I would have to say that I agree. We have Catalon and Gresham already committed, but you know the staff has to feel like Gresham could bolt for Ole Miss at any time (and is a little iffy on his commitment). I can see it. That, and Gresham is really a fullback, which lends another possibility of recruiting a 3rd RB. We have Brown, Bergeron and Gray already on the table.... no recruit in the '13 class, so we need a big RB haul in this class. I thought Kevin Shorter had an offer although it apparently never got resolved - even though he thinks he had an offer...

We will need to load up at the position in February, 2014 on NSD because depending on how Bergeron and Brown do, one or both could leave for the NFL after the season. That leaves us with Gray as the lone horse.

 
I think we will take another RB in the 2014 class. Now in regard to Shorter don't get Justin going. He is convinced he has an offer. But even if he does he is never coming to UT.

 
Shorter is prized for sure. Offers from 20+ schools.... I'd like to see Fournette wear burnt orange with his teammates Jermaine Roberts and Courtney Garnett. Doubt it happens. Texas does do a damn good job of recruiting that High School though. Remember Derek Lewis who caught James Brown's 4th and inches pass against the Huskers in the inaugural Big 12 Championship? St. Augustine HS product....
