    Another point about this... there is a pile of shit on the west coast this year at RB, and a plethora of WRs on the west coast. We won't get a RB this good on the west coast this year.

    I'm a bit worried that our entire RB group will be sub-200, even if I do think we have depth in general. If we somehow have a chance with Demetrious Flowers, I'd be down to get 2.
    There we go again with a big back bullshit.
    It's nice to have at least one on your team. Obviously I don't want us to prioritize the size over talent, but there were some defenses this year that were better against a Gaskin type runner than a Coleman type runner. I realize this year is a bad year for it, so I'm not really thinking about it too much.

    It doesn't necessarily have to be a 220+ pounder either. Not many colleges have a peak RB weight of 195.

    Who gives a fuck about Flowers? He's okay. Salvon will be close to 200 soon. Do you think 'big backs' have some fucking magical power or something?
    If you read my next post, you'll see I don't necessarily need them to be big backs that are 220+ pounds. Flowers was just an example that fit that kind of player.

    If not WR maybe he can play Defensive End?

    Careful with the DE label. The TCU MBA has hard time understanding what is a joke and what is not.

    Really like this kid. Great 'deceptive' speed changing and initial burst.

    Here's the thing about tailbacks - what you're looking for is ability to not get hit while running and weaving through people. That's what this kid has, it's vision and the ability to set up tacklers so they can't get a clean shot and they underestimate how fast he can stop/start. That's what being a RB is about.

    40 times for running backs are only interesting if they can do all of the above. The reason why I loved Sankey was he was superior at those things in HS. A lot of people on doogman fought me because they thought he was too slow 40-wise. Fuck that. That shit doesn't really matter so much.

    This kid really sets up tacklers and they can never quite get to him.

    That said, I hate him as a slot. Just would be a waste.

    Reminds me a lot of Myles... as Pepsi said.

    DDY 2, but the good kind.

    I'm predicting he will flip to Stanford on Dec 3.

    There are quicker ways to kill a kid than to make him a 180 pound tailback in the PAC-12.

    Gaskin and Sankey were both bigger than Lowe in high school. My Quookish comp from watching his HUDL was Bralon Addison. Smart, quick and dangerous if you give him enough space.

    Gaskin is only 190-195 right now. That is a very feasible number for Lowe.

    he told scout they're recruiting him to fill the Chico Role just like DDY said. Hopefully he plays RB
