Is Sanders not being recruited at all? He doesn’t even have a 247 page.

I ve asked around……small schools (FCS) have looked, but nothing yet.
I saw him a couple weeks ago and he was the best player on the field. Period.

5’8”?????

Emmitt Smith was 5’9”, and it didn’t seem to hold him back too much. Being short can actually help a running back. Short RB’s can be harder to spot behind the blockers.

Barry Sanders was 5’8”, and I guess he was okay too. Jahmyr Gibbs is 5’9”, and he’s the current NFL wrecking crew. 110 total yards and 3 TD’s tonight.

I’m not knocking it….just standing by him, not sure he’s 5’8”……
I’m shocked he doesn’t have numerous FCS offers.

I’ll take him in Clarksville in’27

Players like Pavia as well. It can be an asset

Doesn’t usually work out as well for QB’s in the NFL. Short QB’s have a hard time seeing over the offensive and defensive lines to make short passes over the middle of the field.

My thoughts after returning home from the game:

1. Congrats to Baylor on the win. They are a fantastic football team.
2. I’ve seen DGG twice in person and he is clearly the best HS running back I’ve ever seen in person. (Watching since the late 80’s) It felt like we kept him bottled up most of the night and he still had over 150 yards rushing. Absolute stud, we need him on the hill!
3. Do better TSSAA. What a dump of a facility and location for a state championship event. All state events should be held in Middle TN where travel is more centralized and teams don’t have to wait on busses half a mile up the street just to get into the stadium. Watching coaches and players walking around the block to stretch their legs is ridiculous. Hopefully the new titans stadium presents a permanent fix.

It use to be in Cookeville and Murfreesboro but during covid chattanooga was the only place that would let them do it.

Sanders is a good football player but kindof funny on breakaway runs as he’s such a short strider it looked like he was taking 6-7 steps every 10 yards.

I remember all the venues. Vandy, MTSU, TTU and UTC. I enjoyed MTSU the best. I absolutely hated having to go to tech. UTC wasn’t the only place during Covid they are the ones who won the bid to host the state championships. I am also not a fan of the teams Not being right there in locker rooms but the stadium is hands down better than tech. Unless the titans management wins the big it will not be held there. I also agree on MTSU being the most centralized location for the games

Bad snaps by BA cost them the championship. Practically gave Baylor a TD on one in 3rd qtr & They had it 2nd & goal in the 4th from about the 5 & lost 13 yds. They score there it would have been 31-21 Ba with about 7 minutes left.

Bowman dropped a 40 yd pass on their last possession that killed them also.

Brees did pretty well.

Exception, not the rule. There's only been maybe 4 or so QBs over the last 30-40 years that have been successful as a short qb. And the term "successful" is a broad term. Brees and Wilson have had the most success. Kyler Murray has been ok. Baker Mayfield is on the shorter side as well. I can't really think of any others that have been short and successful. Maybe Mike Vick, though I don't know that I would call him "successful." He certainly wasn't awful though, even before the dog fighting stuff.
