    Ha! I thought it was some sort of obscure reference.

    Yeah that never made sense to me either.

    Maybe they feel he can be more of a weapon against a LB or safety once they split him out wide or on a route out of the backfield. Maybe he's a great blocker and can utilize him in the Delta formation. He has speed so getting the ball in his hands is something they should aim to do. Maybe he has a hard time beating a DB off the line, but once in space, he's electric. And perhaps, like has been stated on here before, they're actually going to RS Wilson this year and want another body back there that's played before. They have their reasons and I trust their decision is best for the individual and team.

    I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.

    Dimitri has his redshirt available as well.

    Because he is one of the best athletes on the team and can be used as a receiver out of the backfield which he has 3 years experience in. He also bulked up 10 lbs

    If DW was actually moved to RB my guess is that he won't play that position exclusively.

    Not sure that it is part of the equation but I agree that he's an absolutely fantastic blocker. My son plays wideout and I've had him watch a bunch of DW plays over the last couple of years. One of my favorite was the long Frazier run against Iowa where DW had a great block close in, then hustled and got in front of King 35 yards downfield and got him another 7+ yards. Amazing energy. I think that the only other WR that I can remember that could block as well was Trevor Gebhart. He too was fantastic.
    Insert something clever here...

    I was wondering why they didn't make this move last year when we started losing backs before pulling Wilson's redshirt. In my opinion this is what should have been done.
    If it flies it dies.

    Long for the days of freezing in the south stands of Dacotah Field.

    That does seem odd unless they didn't think they could get DW up to speed at RB last year during the season. This is definitely one of the most interesting roster moves this year, will be interesting to see how it plays out.

    Yep, those were my guesses as well as to why they'd move him. I also think that he could carve out a Derrick Lang role as 3rd down back who's excellent in pass pro but can also slip out of the backfield and catch screens or be an outlet.
