twilli13 600 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I read this is the other rb we are most likely to sign. I see he has a ton of offers, highly rated and all. But at 6'1" 190 seems light for an sec back. Looking at pictures, looks like he has a lighter frame too. I dont get it....Gus already has two all purpose backs. He needed another bruiser sec style back to go with DJ William's. We should be trying to recruit two 5'10" - 6'1" 215 lb. Backs each cycle. I feel like this guy is the next Devan Barrett if we get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I’m saying is he has the same running style, Similar size and frame as KJ when he came out of high school, is very athletic much like KJ, and the staff sees him as a potential KJ & is selling him hard on it.

autan 736 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I think many of us thought KJ was probably a little overrated coming out of HS. He played at a fairly small private school with a lot of Di talent around him. I would never have thought he would leave AU after three years and almost immediately become one of the best running backs in NFL. Kerryon has amazing reflexes and instincts along with some uncanny moves but not elite speed. We sure missed him this year. Would have had a couple more wins with KJ for sure.

Gotta love when people use the example of some of the best backs to ever come through AU, guys who were clearly obvious exceptions to the norm due to their immense talent and drive.

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Gotta love when someone talks about a HS player’s size then complains when people point out obvious counter-examples. No one said MAR is Cadillac. The point is, his size won’t be the limiting factor. He’s gonna be 200-210 without any difficulty when he spends a year in any weight program.

ClaytonAU 4,606 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 People really act like our strength and conditioning program isn’t capable of allowing players to gain good weight. 10 pounds is nothing for an athlete like MAR. 😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen such big guys do such acrobatic backwards somersaults in my life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
