Great Runningback pickup for us! I have always been under the impression that we will take 2 RBs this year so we can still get Hayes.

I honestly hope no one questions this kids ability. he plays in arguably the 2nd best area, in probably the top state for HS talent in 2011.
you've got to be kidding me.

Negative people can shove it.

1. This is a quality prospect and looks very good on film against very good competition.
2. This is a commit from a powerhouse program in Florida.
3. This is a commit from a powerhouse program in Florida.

Who cares who is offers are right now. Any bets on him getting multiple BCS offers now? Kid will see his offer list grow now.

the kid looks good, has a RB mentality, doesnt seem to shy away from a hit(as well as knows how to take some) from what i've seen.

how about a more impressive offer list?

edit: okay, i saw Pitt. they found Dion Lewis in a pile of leftovers and he has turned out just fine. perhaps this guy is reminiscent.

He doesn't have the same lateral quickness, but he is a little wrecking ball.

"a wrecking ball" who's own coach said told me he is just as fast as J. Gallon who is a small scat back/speed guy who played in the AA game and signed with Michigan in 09

He rushed for 1600 yards and 27 TD's in 6A Florida HS football last year? Seems like he'll be a 4-star before it's all said and done

Still early. Hasnt even played his senior season yet. Watch and see, come NSD, that Alabama and Florida are among his offers. Give it time!

Nice news, I think Pitt and Wisconsin have a pretty good idea of good RB's so I'm not worried about his offer list in the least. Comes from a good HS, has solid measurables, and film is pretty sweet.

noone did anything but arm tackle. did not see a single instance of him pulling a move on someone, he just tried to run by them which may work against some linebackers but no db in the sec. lacks top end speed. The reason for this may be that his stride is not very long at all. he does have good vision but most of his carries came out of either the spread or the wildcat and my opinion on those formations is not approving. and his first step is hesitant, which causes him to lose some balance from the start which inhibits him from doing what he is really capable of. i want to see a running back take a decisive first step, hit the hole, and then accelerate and finish the run.

We'll be sure and alert the media that you don't approve. :crazy:
