spurs1990 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Feel like this kid wants N in the worst way. Would we pass on Roberts since these two are so similar and our spots are so limited anyway? Don't technically lose any running backs next year do we? Feel like it's hard not to take Roberts though.. Quote Link to comment

Nebfanatic Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I know it's early but are we generating interest with any other RB prospects? Obviously we would like to take Noah Cain first but that seems like a long shot Quote Link to comment

Obviously we would like to take Noah Cain first but that seems like a long shotNot that I can think of. However, keep in mind RB is a physically demanding position where it is hard for Fr/Soph's in HS to play and/or stand out. Of course you gets some early maturing studs that do, but it's not like DB or WR where physical stature/maturity isn't quite as important. Quote Link to comment

Not a problem for Johnson, he ran for 1500 yards and 18 touchdowns on 210 carries in the biggest class for Texas football. But I'm assuming the reason he is down our list is more related to skill set as opposed to production. Not a ton of burst or lateral quickness. So I just looked and he was only 200 yards behind Cain in rushing in Texas 6A. When you put the film on you can see the main difference though. Johnson has speed but rarely goes lateral or makes a move, he is usually just full speed ahead. Cain can really move side to side and make people miss but still has size and power.

SODAKSKERSFAN20 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I know they are in two separate classes but I like Johnson's film over Roberts Quote Link to comment
spurs1990 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I know they are in two separate classes but I like Johnson's film over Roberts Roberts certainly has some Marshawn Lynch looking runs on his highlight reel but I'm not sure what his competition is like. Sometimes looks like a pee wee team out there against him. Johnson's burst through the line really seems to pop after watching Roberts. The other thing to remember about Johnson is he was only a sophomore during that film. Pretty impressive. Maybe not 4 star impressive, but it's a good kid to be in the lead on early.

Apparently not high enough on our board.Doesn't make any sense. Why would we offer him during his sophomore year of high school if it isn't going to be committable? You would think we would take a little more 'wait and see' approach if we're not totally sure of the kids talent and projection, especially for a sophomore. Quote Link to comment
