Any way, I'm seriously not trying be mean, but we really weren't impressed. He may be SEC material, but he'd definitely be a project. I can't recall him breaking away often from a pretty bad defense, he wasn't particularly shifty or strong, and ran upright as well. How Rivals has him at a 4-star is staggering to me. We needed a running back BAD this year, and we still didn't offer him. That being said, with him being form Little Rock, I hope he does great except against us.

Watched his highlights. Didn't seem particularly fast or shifty. Really good HS RB. Nothing stood out. Now go watch Kenneth Dixon. I used him as an example because of similar styles to me and size I believe. No comparison.

ETA-but I saw Dixon in person. Makes a huge difference seeing them IRL versus highlight films. Dixon was phenomenal. No way we shoulda let him go.
