Atbone95 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Disagree. Mills is attractive not because of talent (he is), but because of his age. I would say taking 3 kids in the same class at the same position is a bad idea. Quote Link to comment

As Frost said just today, he just wants five dangerous targets. 2 Quote Link to comment

Washington got here the day before fall camp started and made an impact as a true freshman. Thompkins doesn't play the same position. Let along what @brophog alluded to above. Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 the only true running back in this class is Mills...Robinson, Johnson and Thompkins are all flex guys, they want Johnson to know the receiver spots too because they want him all over the field just like Wandale. We are going to have weapons all over the field at all times. I am telling you folks our offense is going to really start to put a hurting on people. Bivens gives us a true RB to go with Mills. It is also of note he could have been back for part of his Senior year but chose to sit it out to not risk it for college. 5 2 Quote Link to comment

SECHusker Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 It's time to move on from Mills, potentially not available for the spring, and getting arrested. If this staff truly believes in next man up, it's time to get Bivens. Quote Link to comment

(that's how I saw/see it) Would have loved to learn more about why we either didn't pursue Hall more for a spot in this class or why he didn't choose us. Always comes up in my head for this class when things have gone bad with a RB recruit. Just always felt he was the pure, RB option with power. Just never understood how a 500 mile radius guy in Top 250 didn't land here. I'd take Bivens ... but would have loved to have Hall here months ago. Too late now as he is gonna be a stud at Iowa St. Quote Link to comment

His tape suggested that he was one of the best RBs in the country, but his offers and top schools were a little suspect. Quote Link to comment

As stated in my post, it's too late so move on. Enjoyed reading your thoughts. Quote Link to comment

I agree with you that the dude looks elite, but maybe the injury did scare some schools off. Either way I wouldn't put too much stock into who didn't offer this kid. Jonathan Taylor only had a few power five offers out of high school and I don't think there is any school in the country that would turn him down now. Quote Link to comment
audiciter Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I'm from Ohio and think the reason could be a few things. 1. Not enough film on him and if he wasn't attending camps due to injury they couldn't get a look at him there either. 2. Archbishop Alter is a very solid program in OH HS football. However they bounce around from D3 - D4 (D1 being the largest and D7 being the small schools). So competition could be questioned. 3. Type of offense. Alter is an option offense. Sometimes option RBs don't get the same looks from bigger schools. I found it unusual that the Alter QB is a Missouri commit. 2 Quote Link to comment

gorp512 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Wasn't he one of the top RBs in this class a few years ago?? Quote Link to comment
