ADS Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Actually really excited about him. Won’t be shocked if the big hitters in the Big 12 eventually come calling. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Broke an ankle so there’s only one full year of highlights available. Expect his rating to be bumped “significantly”. 2 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 My thoughts: More impressed with his film than I expected to be based on his ratings Was a 10.8 100 meter guy as a freshman. Doesn't appear blindingly fast on film but that's pretty good for a guy now pushing 200 pounds Tougher runner than I expected for a guy that fast Would like to see more elusiveness - not a dynamic cutter. But also missed his sophomore season with a broken ankle so perhaps between that and being a speed guy he hasn't had to develop his cutting ability that much. 3 Quote Link to comment

I watched the first play of his Junior highlights and stopped. Grayson sprinted pass a guy that was in a full gallup about 2 yards ahead of him with a good angle. All the evidence for speed you need right there. 1 Quote Link to comment

First, forming an opinion based on one example is a bad plan, anywhere in life. Second, I'm not sure I'd classify that as "sprinted pass [sic] a guy". He out-ran him by roughly 4 yards over 50. He was faster, but not drastically faster. Third, it depends on how good/fast that other player was. If he was a five-star guy, I'm sold. If he's a run-of-the-mill high schooler, that's not saying much. 2 Quote Link to comment

Staff did ask Bell to try and outrun guys rather than cut them up so maybe they aren't as concerned about it in this system as others may be.

I was being hyperbolic to make the point that he looks fast on film. That first play was pretty sweet though. Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 The guy has excellent speed. Watch the highlight films. He takes plenty of plays from deep in the backfield to the races within about 15 yards past line of scrimmage. Best attribute is his quick, decisive cuts and no stutter stepping and dancing around. He cuts enough and runs by people and cuts both directions. He is a dam fine RB and will compete to play as a freshman I suspect. There are couple more on the board out there that we need to pursue with all deliberate speed as well. But he's as good as any we have on the team right now I'd say. 1 Quote Link to comment

Dr. Strangelove Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I hope his recruitment goes up, the injury didn't help his rating. Otherwise Frost and Co. need to aim for bigger fish. Quote Link to comment

Stumpy1 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 He was state runner-up in the 100m as a freshman with a 10.8. Says he is running around a 10.7 right now and hopes to better that. Quote Link to comment
Huskers93-97 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Watched like 10 runs or so of his film. He is fast and frost system will get him in space. Nice pickup. Not sure what he should be rated but .83 is too low 1 Quote Link to comment
