    Just watched his HUDL. I like it a lot and I'm glad he's coming here, but it didn't make me cum like Austin Jones' did. Jones is a superior running back but really separates himself as a receiver. He could be 4 star as a wideout, maybe 5.

    Davis' entire tape had two pass plays, a block midway through and a catch on the last highlight. Maybe/hopefully his team never throws. If it does and he's completely uninvolved that's not great.

    I can't get behind the Kamara comps because half of Kamara's value is he's a total boss as a receiver.

    I still like him quite a bit, just not as excited watching his film as I thought I'd be reading this thread.

    I don't think anyone here ever said they liked him as much as Austin Jones. Most have said there's a clear distinction between the two.

    A lot of HS' don't feature RBs in the passing game honestly. Gaskin only had 4 receptions his senior year too, but he's a great receiver, so I don't think you can take much from that at all.

    I can see the Kamara comp not being spot on due to what you said about his receiving abilities, however I can see a resemblance just in their running style in general.

    Big backs are fucking useless unless they have Peterson, Blount, and Gurley type athleticism. Most of those big fucks can't cut for shit and have a high center of gravity.

    Good thing Charbonnet is one of those backs then.
    No he's not.

    Damn it! I had to go back to figure out who the fuck Charbonnet was. I thought this thread was about Davis? I can’t deal with Ballzdeep’s ADD in threads lately. Davis looks awesome by the way. Wish he had better top end speed...my only minor complaint.

    If you can't deal with the ups and downs of Ballzdeep than this board ain't for you.
    Ups?

    Is this thread for real or am I being manipulated into buying starbursts? Is that how you really finance the site, Derek?

    Apologies for hijacking this super insightful big back discussion for just a moment...

    I found the interactions of the 2019+ commits to this tweet pretty insightful. Maninoa Tufono (top LB on the west coast and UW legacy) liked Coach Pete's tweet almost immediately. Dawson Jaramillo's little brother did too FWIW. Jacob Bandes (top 2-3 DL on the west coast) retweeted the commitment, which was interesting given he's NorCal and Davis is SoCal, so not connection that I'm aware of. Dollars and Criddell seemed to be all over it, as were some top '20 kids like DJ Uiagalelei and Kendall Milton too.

    I don't know what any of this really means, but the doog in me says that we're on the verge of stacking some really good recruiting classes together.

    Criddell and Ngata went in on it early as well. So did Dollars.

    This class could be insane.
    Thank you for answering the question that immediately jumped into my mind, "Oh no, did Ngata ignore it? Nooooo!"
