I don't see him bulking up to be "carry the load" type guy. He'll probably be around 205, so kinda like Mason, a scat back who can go between the tackles when needed

Is he more of a scat back? Or is he expected him to bulk over the next couple years?
Just ask 5* 2013 DB Vonn Bell. LINK

His highlights remind me of Corey Grants.

Incredible straight line speed. Enough power to shake off arm tackles. Not very good lateral movement/shake.

Swinney is a perfect example of looking at more than height and weight with RBs. He runs very physical. The bulk would help in that part but he has speed to and you don't want to lose that. He does not have the same style as Roc but like Roc he has homerun ability with some good pop too.

He's got a good frame, I could see her getting around 210, like Carnell.

My wife's boss (and good friend), is very good friends with Chris. Her son plays football with him. She told me Chris was a outstanding kid. Works hard and stays out of trouble. His grandfather owns a Ford dealership in Cumming. It's always great to hear good things about recruits.

I love Mr.Howell, His comercials were beloved by many, especially in Forsyth.

Now that would be an epic weekly haul. 4 top guys from AL. Hopefully Clark and Evans to the good guys.

And the only thing I'm wishing for this recruiting class - no fricking flips to UA. Nothing worse than when that happens.

Yeah. Got word today from a couple of people who are usually pretty good that things are looking good with Ronnie Clark.

Hard to feel too good until he actually takes that last visit to Tuscaloosa, IMO

With HS practice approaching, I could see him never making it. And that wouldn't surprise me, I've felt good about him since his surprise visit

Like Pride said, no UA flips. And most of us won't trust Clark till February. Seems that we get at least one or two flips to them every year.

Saban takes what he wants.

I will not be a happy Nino if UA flips one of our guys late in this recruiting cycle (Casher doesn't count)

Well the good thing for us is 90% of what he wants this year is national which is helping us to make a lot of headway in state this year.
