Got another RB commit
- Thread starter Bullwhip Griffith
- Start date
Led the state of Georgia last year in rushing. That is no small feat in that state.
If we can’t keep him from Valdosta State that will be an issue.
just from his highlights, looks like a really good back. We've done w/ RB's from GA.
He has received some offers from some very powerful schools. Having lived in Georgia the past two years, he may be a little overlooked because he’s not from the traditional Georgia powerhouse high schools. But make no mistake, he is a very talented player!
This is what happens in the SEC when you can count past ten without taking your shoes off.
A (healthy) Ralph Bolden type RB would be great
He's not a power back with this size. He would fit fine into a spread offense like ours if he can catch and pick up a LB in pass protection. It looks to me like he has plenty of speed. He should be a nice player for us.
Go look at the GA career rushing records. Guarantee youve never heard of the leader.
Well not everyone can be Spegal.
And be that "relief valve" out of the backfield as an extra receiver when everyone else is covered.
Got that right. Barely heard of any on the career or season list. One thing I saw was Brown had 418 yards last year in a playoff game. Not bad.
Not irrelevant but part of a recruiting profile that should be viewed in the context of the competition
1) Guess who the all time leader in rushing yardage is in GA HS history
2) Go look up the list
Probably somewhere between 0% relevance and 100% relevance. His stats are very good. Hopefully that translates to the next level.
One extreme example doesn't invalidate high school stats. You're essentially saying that there are false positives which is true in some cases but I would be skeptical of a highly touted recruit that produced mediocre stats against high school competition.
It's part of a recruiting profile that has to be viewed with awareness of other factors. Certainly not irrelevant.
College ratings and scholarships are about projection to the next level. Stats help with that projection, but not a lot of weight is put on them.
pedantic arguments are my specialty: High school stats are irrelevant to his not holding SEC offers.
So if stats help with the projection as you pointed out, then how are stats irrelevant? That's not pedantic, you directly contradict yourself.
Regardless of the stats, the highlight real is impressive. Really surprised to not see bigger schools offering. I guess he plays at a small high school?
