Sorry about the delay--life's been pretty busy lately. Next time I see him i'll just ask him what he's thinking. The coach usually picks him up and takes him to school and drops him off after school, usually around 5 or 5:30. Sometimes I'll be around when he comes home but usually he's gone before I get out of the house in the mornings.
Sounds like a solid UW lean. Who says we can't recruit Texas? I love it. Gotta have that BIG BACK!
WTF is KB doing? This kid sucks. Looks like he's running in slow motion.
I can change my mind whenever I want. After gathering further information, I like him.
"I hate him until it looks like he'll be a Husky, then I love him."
Not a doog at all.
I hated him until reading his post-visit interview and realizing he's being recruited to fill a role the team needs. He has a power back skill set and we need one. As long as we get another RB with more speed to go along with him, I like him.
This guys sucks. Seems similar to the Nick Bolton situation. If we take him it just seems like we’re taking a guy to get the non-existent Texas pipeline going
At 190 Gaskin was the best short yardage back in the country, you do not 'need' a powerback
The idea that somehow every big guy runs like Earl Campbell is FS. Most big guys are worse in short yardage because the don't move super quickly and are big targets.
I don't completely, completely hate him. I just think guys who take a long time to get going are typically not the best RBs. Could he be good? Yeah sure. He's a DDY2.
But watch him and Bijan Robinson back to back and then let's talk about who we should be recruiting.
Adams is a power back. Bijan is a power back. Power back is also bullshit. If we are recruiting him to play TE - maybe.
Not really. Adams is physical but tall and thin with a narrow waist. Those aren't power back dimensions. They aren't really RB dimensions either. Like I've said and will continue to say, I believe his best fit is at DB. Bijan's style is not power at all. He avoids contact and prefers to run past or around guys. He's an elite speed back prospect but it appears Morrison is preferred over Bijan right now. I love Bijan, but can't really complain because Morrison's highlights are amazing with so many long touchdown runs. He's more of a no-nonsense, vertical runner who makes great decisions whereas Bijan dances a lot and might have some low-lights we can't see but the coaches can of him dancing too much and making bad decisions, tackled for losses, etc.

This. It’s really about finding a crease and getting small.
Sounds like we better get used to it. Already planning a return trip when his coaches visit UW again this spring. He said he’s running track this spring, but isn’t planning on attending any of the football combines anymore. A kid of his recruiting status already deciding to shutdown going through the recruiting camps and regionals where most kids make a jump in their exposure and offers, has already made a decision on where he’s going.
You don't make multiple trips up from Texas, much less Waco, unless you have a pretty damn good idea of where you're going.
I probably need to watch his film a little more but from what I recall he seemed just a tad raw but had that little something in terms of being able to run away from people that you wouldn't expect.
Before saying "oh, what about his competition" ... Waco's far from a bad area when it comes to HS football ... there are some athletes in that region.
What it tells me is that you probably have a kid that realizes that Waco sucks (it really, really sucks) and is interested in leaving Texas.
If we get Sunday and Adams in this class, I wouldn't be that unhappy. Although to a point that @LaMichael_Corleone and @Dennis_DeYoung would happily make ... the fact that we haven't really gained any traction with the top RBs in the West is still a massive area of concern.
Why do you hate Joanna Gaines?
If I could redo my wife she’d look like her... just saying.

Soso Jamabo/Chris Warren BIG BACKS from Texas (but actually highly rated)
Almost missed on Gaskin, had to steal him from WSU at the end of the cycle?
I think you are thinking of Sankey and Brandon Bigelow who we lost to Cal.
