bigbird 60,491 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 To me, Asa, KJ, Alaric Williams, and Roc all have the same type of build and skill set. They remind me of and could be utilized very much like Percy Harvin, Randall Cobb, or Stefon Diggs were in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it over la st night amd I believe he will have great senior year. We beat bama out for an instate rb they really wanted makes this commit even bigger. How good do you think this guy will be? I've given up on looking at highlights since after watching Roc Thomas' super quickness I thought he would be special. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've given up on looking at highlights since after watching Roc Thomas' super quickness I thought he would be special. Highlights are great. They show you the athletic ability of these kids. What highlights can't show you is drive, will power and personal perseverance. The problem with a lot of these kids is that they have been one of the best (if not the best) athlete on the field in high school. When they get to college (especially big time ball like SEC) they become just another athlete. It takes something special to push yourself above the others around you when everyone is just as talented. Now as for Asa, I do not know the kid so I would not presume to make any assumption about how good\great he COULD be. What I can say from his highlights is that he has all of the intangibles that you want in a RB coming out of high school. Good size, speed and power. Only he can control the rest from here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was another Caddy. Slam dunk. So I won't make any predictions about Asa, BUT... if we missed on our eval here, so did the last two coaches to compete for and win national titles. saban in particular very much wanted this guy. That's not little brother talking. That's an objective observation on a coach who has sent a steady stream of RBs in the early rounds of the NFL draft going on 10 years now. Question, and I'm sorry if this has already been asked and answered: Can he block? That doesn't tend to show up in highlight reels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roc never had the time to reach his potential because he was on the sidelines nursing an injury before the end of nearly every game. Fortunately, not every back that reminds us of him will have that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right that this normally does not show in highlights, but for this kid it does. If you watch his HUDL highlights he actually makes an effort to put some video of him blocking not just running the ball. Check out around the 0:57 mark and watch the next couple of plays. He can definitely use some work but he at least shows willingness to stick is nose in there and do the necessary for his team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
