He's a quality back but not a game breaker. Just seems like at the P5level he will get tied up at the LOS.RoadDawg55 said:
He’s solid. He’s not incredible. There is a reason he’s not a 5* RB and is ranked 30th. He’s the 321st player in the country on 24/7.Canadawg said:Can win big games with this level of athlete. Need more though
We have always gotten a lot of low four star guys. We need five star difference makers. This isn’t anything new other than Boner possibly beating out legitimate schools. I’m skeptical about those schools other than Notre Dame.

Megwa’s better than Sunday

Sunday’s feet looked awful at the spring game. He’s a great straight line athlete and I think he’ll be good but eh.Kingdome_Urinals said:

Especially in the 4th quarter. It's clear what Jimmy wants to do. I'm all for it if it works.coach_pete_JPG said: -
We’ll see. They both look to be good. Sunday ran a little angrier, Megwa’s vision looked slightly better. They are good RB prospects that could be good. Or they will be mediocre.backthepack said:Megwa’s better than Sunday
Let’s not be so starved for news that we pretend the 321st player in the country is a great pull. After the first 50 or so, it’s mostly a crap shoot. -
I like both. I think Megwa’s a better lateral athlete though.RoadDawg55 said:

The closest UW comparison I can think of is Polk. He has similar size, similar speed, similar start-stop moves and burst, similar power, and a pretty similar tempo to how he takes the ball out of the backfield.
One difference though is that Polk didn't become that guy until he was a sophomore at UW. In HS he was basically a speed back and WR.
Your logic, at least how you present it, makes little sense. UW has historically done just fine without 5* running backs.RoadDawg55 said:

Sark was a pro at nabbing 4* guys who nobody else cared that much for. Ty too. It's true that many of them didn't work out.
Megwa's Jr tape was pretty limited but what I saw didn't excite me much on its own. I'm reserving some excitement until I see how he looks as a senior. If he still has or rediscovered the speed he had as a sophomore I'll get excited. He's awful big now.RoadDawg55 said:

If this kid becomes Polk 2.0 I will NTD, BB.

There is a significant drop after Cam Davis. The top 4 of this list is inaurguable IMO. The rest are the rest, guys who are or would be mediocre to good college backs.Kingdome_Urinals said:

Sunday encounters a lot more static at the line of scrimmage in his film. He plays under durress more frequently against better athletes and is able to accelerate quickly and always matches the defender's violence. He finishes plays very strong and does not shy from contact.RoadDawg55 said:

Megwa is a smooth big back, like a bigger Kenny James and I think his production may be comparable in the final analysis.
Sunday's spring game was not overly impressive but he finished plays strong. I think that will be a consistent value he brings.

I also know how dumb the rankings are after the top guys. So much of it is how often they go to the camps, how often they talk to recruiting analysts, their high school program, etc.
I would feel the same about Megwa whether he was a four star or three star. He’s a solid prospect. He’s nothing to get really excited about. He’s a DDY 2. He could be good. He’s far from exceptional and is more likely to be a guy than be a stud. -
some of you forget that Colman was a damn good back, very reliable. I would put him above Ahmed based on what he accomplished here
-
His HS tape, recruiting ranking, and what he has flashed so far at UW, lead me to conclude that Davis is a very high value player. He will probably end up having a season better than Salvon bbefore he graduates. He has certainly done more than Megwa.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

That's not the point. We're speculating about who might be best going forward, not previously. We know what the three guys who were there last year can do. We don't know about Davis yet.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

If Davis is still the #3-4 guy this season I'll let it go, but right now I'm only interested in what he will do, not what he has done. This is just message board chatter man. I dont understand the resistance to it. -
He just gets sucked off a little too much by the tbs crowd. I think you get this. I M interested to see what he can do too.chuck said:

He doesn’t seem to have any rare skill to me but I sure hope he is good and know that those that play in front of him are not bell cows so I’m fine with him getting more carries. -
Cam seems the best based on the coach quotes from spring. They mentioned that he’s the guy with the highest upside, who has the most complete skillset.
Just give him the damn ball. -
I take everything coaches say with a giant grain of salt. Their comments do lend soft support to what I think about him though.Quietcowskee said:Cam seems the best based on the coach quotes from spring. They mentioned that he’s the guy with the highest upside, who has the most complete skillset.

No, even if Cam Davis sucks, he will never admit that Cam Davis sucks. It will be on the coaches for not using him correctly.Baseman said:Can't wait for Fudge's "sit Cam Davis, he sucks, go with Megwa. HTH" thread.

He looks like the most talented pure runner from what I've seen. He hasn't got the carries because of a ton of experienced guys in front of him.AtomicDawg said:

He has burst, strength, he has a ton of visible tools.
