Hawt take: His running form is... all over the place. Perhaps the offer is a projection for how fast he would be after training out all of that wasted motion? No matter what his actual time in the 100 is, he still looks like somebody I wouldn't want to be standing in front of when he's at full tilt.
I liked him too but that video threw me off pretty badly. With that kind of speed guy needs to be a tank to be effective. He does run with a lot of power and nobody he faces in his highlights really look like they want to tangle with him. I'm just not sure what to think.
It would be easier for me if he improved his speed a lot as a senior. About 0.7 shaved off that time would do it.
It's not that he fundamentally sucks... it's that he's a really weird player to evaluate. He runs a fucking 11.7 for Christ's sake. But at the same time, he does have some good lateral movement and upfield explosion.
But that video was funny.
THIS ISNT EVEN ABOUT THE PLAYER AT ALL. THIS IS ABOUT THE COACHES STILL THINKING THEY ARE BOUSE STATE EVALUATORS WHO HAVE A HUBRIS ABOUT FINDING DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH. The problem is, no one minds when teams find undervalued draft picks or recruits but we don’t have the talent base to accumulate depth around those pieces to compete with the best teams in the world.
The problem is we’re trying to get around recruiting at runningback. We go for kids who aren’t getting offers from the same big schools that we are beating out at other positions. This isn’t Boise State where you find kids instead of beat other good programs out because if Bama, Ohio State, USC (until lately) want this kid we should fucking want him too. SO NOW IN THE WEST COAST’S BEST RB YEAR SINCE 2017, AND A YEAR WE HAVE A HOMETOWN KID WHOS ALMOST 6’3 AS AN ACE UP THE SLEEVE, WE ARENT SELLING OUT ON A BIJAN ROBINSON, KENDALL MILTON, JALEN JOHN?! It would be one thing if Sunday had was Zach Evans and we had an in with him. We haven’t beat out any teams for a RB and it’s not coincide we’re deep on a kid with no other big offers.

I agree.

Our recruiting coordinator is busy making traveling plans for visits and pushing paper around. You want him to actually recruit running backs too? Cmon. That time is dedicated to recruiting sloots.
Sam Adams should be so pissed at whoever films the EC games so far out of zoom that his height isn’t quie given the justice it earned when he was “towering” over Sam Huard in the pic from this weekends trophy presentation.
I get it’s a whole inside joke WHOOSH thing but Adams is as big of a big as you’re gonna get nowadays.

I don’t think big back is really about height so much as thickness. Obviously Adams’ height (and father) suggest future thickness but he’s not really close to what Ballz is talking about, at least not yet.
ATBS(JBS), Adams is damn near a must get at this point. His abilities in the passing game are sensational. He’s not quite Austin Jones with the ball in his hands but he’s very close to him as a route runner/pass catcher. He could be an amazing weapon out of the backfield.

Never did I think I’d prefer the name Dick over Jay’veon at the Runningback position.
Hitting soft balls and gargling hairy ballz are two different things my friend and you already know which one I prefer.
