Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 GT highlights show a guy who is not much flash, North-South, and enjoys contact. Also appears to have good balance. Not a guy I would want to be seeing in the 4th quarter if I was an opposing defense. Edit: high school film shows some LB, but assuming he is being taken as RB. After watching some more, this guy will make you think twice after trying to tackle him the first time. Quote Link to comment
Ziebol Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 The potential in that RB room is pretty amazing. Lock up Wandale and wow. 3 Quote Link to comment

JUCO guys are always lower-rated. I've never really figured out why. Best guess I've been able to come up with is they are (usually) only around for two years instead of three or four. I suppose the (assumed) academic risk might play a part in it as well. Quote Link to comment

But....you are usually taking about a kid that hasn’t proven he can play at this level. This is kid has done that as a freshman. Rating systems are supposed to indicate how ready the kid is to play at this level. If he isn’t an example of a 4 Star.....what is? Quote Link to comment

But, I tend to believe it's just laziness at the recruiting sites. Proof of that is how many times does a JUCO player go completely unranked by these sites? I think 247 is the only one that has ranked this kid so far. Quote Link to comment

Then he only played 2 games as a JUCO sophomore. He is now rated .8700 So while not a tremendous jump, he still went up in rankings. 1 Quote Link to comment

Greg Bell was the #1 juco RB in regards to comp score and was still a 3* ...I've always enjoyed following the juco players and I'll say that Mills right now is better than Bell was last year, no questions. The thing about Bell is that he took a drastic change in his body during the off season. Be interesting to see what he can do this year for us Quote Link to comment
