    I feel like something was missed in this thread. We are pessimistic about Sunday because he looks slow on tape and his track times don't refute that. We don't dislike him because of the track times. Charbonnet and Adams look plenty fast on tape.

    And still, Sunday could get faster and end up being a great back. The improvements are at least encouraging.
    I’ve heard he’s Earl Campbell 2.0, right ballz?

    Pettis has an unorthodox stride and looked slow. But he wasn’t. I think this kid will be okay with some Socha.

    Most running backs rarely get to play without dealing with a shit ton of contact so my take is this kid has balance and power and wiggle and vision. He’s going to be good for us. Even gaskin got caught from behind but it didn’t matter when he could somehow slip ahead for positive yardage every time he touched the ball.

    Campbell was a little before my time. More like Frank Gore. Anybody not cool with having a Frank Gore type back on the roster?

    @Swaye can't read so he couldn't remember this but some of us have seen their big board. He was a clever red man and figured it out anyways. They had 5 RB's targeted for 2020 confirmed. Sunday wasn't the top target confirmed(duh). I'll be perfectly happy if he's the 2nd back in a 2 back class that fills out the lower middle depth of this class.
    Bump for Adam's commitment.

    Where was Adams on said big bored?

    That pic of the board is pretty outdated now, and didn't even make sense/was incomplete at the time. It had 1 ILB for the 2019 class and we took like 6.

    Especially because Adams hardly played any varsity until his Junior year

    All fair but my point is/was I'm happy with these two backs as our RB class.

    So thanks for all the horrible advice assholes. I’m sure you missed me last night, I was shit faced. Made it to Waco, luggage didn’t. Luckily I carried on my suit, shirt, and tie. Still fucking drunk I get up at 6:30a to eat and sober up. Caught a lyft to Walmart as nothing else was fucking open. Some how kinda found a pair of shoes and belt to match. Finish getting ready. Go to my fucking interview still kinda drunk. It was an all day thing and so I spent 6 hrs just waiting to take a fucking nap.

    Miracle if I get this one... Swaye, you hiring?

    I guess miracles do happen...

    Next stop @Rapeculturedawg @ArtBriles @joanagainesiwillfindyou

    Is TexASS still the souwf?

    Newton 2.0. My favorite thing about Sunday are the tacklers that want no part of going head up with him.
  • FireCohenFireCohen Member Posts: 21,823

    Yeah that's what stood out to me the most when his thread here first started. There were a lot of defenders in position to hit him who somehow managed to miss. He isn't Barry Sanders. They were missing because they were afraid of him. Its comical and why I was never fully against his recruitment.

    this kid has a great story and plays with a chip on his shoulder. He may not be the most talented (of course bijan robinson is better) but there's a lot to like here

    Still has the weirdest running style I've seen in a long time. Unless he's playing against a bunch of Desmond Trufants in college, he's going to get hit.

    I do hope he works out for us....he's a good kid.

    So what I see is a unique gait that Dante Pettis has that makes him very intriguing. In traffic his body leans way ahead of his legs so you can't really get to his feet but he seems to have the strength to get through contact moving forward and still has body control that he can go horizontal. In space the gait makes it tough for tacklers to get the right angle on him. I would suggest that this type of running style only works where a guy can still maintain lateral control (which he can) and where he's tough/violent enough to hammer through tacklers (seems to be)... call me intrigued with the unconventional.
