Nebfanatic Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Why are we reaching to the far corners of the US to offer guys like this? Can we not find similar players close to home? Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Why are we reaching to the far corners of the US to offer guys like this? Can we not find similar players close to home? Sometimes it has to do with opening doors to other players that are on the team. I don't claim that this is the case. Just that sometimes that's what they do. Quote Link to comment
spurs1990 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Why are we reaching to the far corners of the US to offer guys like this? Can we not find similar players close to home? Was just thinking the same thing. This kid isn't exactly fast and that offer list is pretty slim at this point. Maybe a diamond in the rough that'll pick up more later on but still.

Redux Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Funny, I was just scrolling to the bottom to make the sarcastic "He's not in-state, pass!" comment. Guess I don't have to now... Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'm not saying we need to pass on the kid, I'm just a little confused by our running back recruiting strategy. Seems like it would be much easier to target backs of similar caliber in Missouri, Colorado, Iowa, NE ect. We seem to be reaching out all over for players we could find much closer to home is all Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I actually like his film. Tough runner with some elusiveness and good balance. Looks faster then his 4.76 time, which is electronic and verified. At the Orlando Regionals for the Opening, he scored a 87.12 Rating. Just to put something in perspective, TJ Pledger scored a 87.87.

The Murphinator Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 On his profile on 247 it says he is a 4.50 guy. Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 This is what happens when you have a RB coach that can't recruit. A lot of lower 3* guys trying to get someone. 1 Quote Link to comment

Obviously it's not just Davis's decision and the coaches and staff evaluated him and deemed him worthy of their time. Doesn't look thrilling, but I think the coaches have earned some trust in their evaluating and recruiting. I'm attempting to learn to not jump to conclusions too early! Quote Link to comment

I'm talking about recruiting in general. I think they do a pretty good job of finding talent. I believe that if they are going after this guy it's because they believe he can play and do so within the context of our offense. We certainly haven't landed any super star runningbacks, but landing them has nothing to do with identifying them which we do well. Since we identify talent pretty well, I have no reason to believe that this kid isn't skilled enough to earn a scholarship. Edit: His film is certainly fun to watch Quote Link to comment
