Wilson is definitely a beast and he will improve any team he goes to, but do you think he will make more of an impact than Najee Harris ?

What camp has he underperformed at?

ATLANTA -- A substantial group of players at the Rivals Five-Star Challenge presented by Under Armour hailed from Texas. Among the bunch from the Lone Star State, several staked their claim as players who exceeded expectations while a few may have hoped to get some better results. The group as a whole did well, but the microscope shows some telling things about some top Texans.

STOCK DOWN
Marvin Wilson
Yes, Wilson is the top overall prospect in the country. Yes, he took defensive line MVP honors, but a couple of things factor in here: 1. Though he took a ton of 1-on-1 reps, he didn’t outright dominate as the No. 1 player in the country is expected to. 2. The focus of this story is inherently hyper-critical as it looks solely at players from one state, rather than a larger region or the whole field of players. 3. As the top player nationally, there is nowhere to go but down.
Make no mistake, Wilson showed nothing to suggest he wouldn’t be a disruptive, impactful player with pads and a uniform on in a real game. In the context of the camp, he was too committed to his first pass-rush move -- or bull-rushing -- and didn’t consistently do well to counter when an offensive lineman beat him to a spot off the snap.

I can't wait to watch the melt when he signs elsewhere.

The fifth edition of the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge Presented By Under Armour is in the books and, with such an important anniversary of an amazing event, we thought it would be cool to look back at the top five prospects that attended at each position. Today we look at the quarterbacks.
Note: The order is based on a combination of success at the event, success at the high school level and, in many cases, success in college.

Leonard Fournette
The Skinny: Fournette was a man amongst boys, both physically and with his talent level, at the 2013 Five-Star Challenge in Chicago after attending our first event as an underclassman. He was always considered a heavy lean to LSU, so his commitment to the Tigers over Alabama during the Under Armour All-America Game did not come as a huge surprise. At LSU, he has shown numerous flashes of greatness and finished the 2015 season as a consensus All-American.
Farrell’s Take: Big running backs rarely excel in camp settings so it wasn’t as if Fournette was a superstar at either event he attended, but he did show much improved ball skills the second year and more speed. But unless he’s in full pads and running over people, it’s hard to appreciate him otherwise. But, without a doubt, he’s the most successful of a strong group here.

Najee Harris
The Skinny: Harris was able to showcase all of his impressive talent at the Five-Star Challenge in Atlanta earlier this month. The talented back is committed to Alabama, but USC, UCLA, Cal, Texas A&M, Ohio State and Michigan are just some of the schools that are continuing to apply pressure on Harris. While Alabama looks to be in a good place, a flip to a school closer to home is not out of the question.
Farrell’s Take: Harris would be first on this list if it was simply based on performance at the event as he was simply outstanding. There’s a chance he could surpass even Fournette when it comes to college success -- he’s that talented. He’s the most well-rounded and athletic running back I’ve seen in a very long time.

Sorry to ruin your troll but Most Bama fans on here are cautiously optimistic he stays but we all believe that there is a great probability that he flips as well.

I think he stays since I'm not sure where else he goes today. USC? OSU?

Farrell has always had some kind of personal vendetta against Fournette. He basically tried to be the smartest guy in the room by saying Fournette wouldn't be what most everyone else thought he would be in college. And he was wrong.
I'd be surprised if Harris was on that level, but I'm not saying he can't be. I'd just be surprised. I guess we will see soon enough wherever he goes.

Is LF suppose to be a good back? 19 carries for 31 yards isn't that great. Bama had DB bringing him down in the backfield. Sure he can run through the Auburns, Eastern Michigans, Syracuses, Texas A&M and Texas Techs of the world, but a good defense shuts him done.
A great back gets the yards no matter what.

You should scroll through game stats of any "great back gets the yards no matter what." Even guys like Herschel had bad games. LF was in 12 games last year. Over 100 in all but 2, and 1 of those 2 was 91 yards. Troll if you like, but LF is still last year's NCAA rushing champion, even with that one bad game.

Don't think Moses is the best player in the nation. Just dont think he has the hips to be an OLB w the production of a Deon Jones. I do think Akers is a better RB than Harris, though. Esp if he grows to be 6'4.
Just wanted a little offseason discussion. Harris is still a beast. Bookmarking this thread.

Don't count out SC for Harris, our RB coach is building a very good relationship with him. He was on campus again this past week for the rising stars camp.

And he had one less game

Two less games; he never got off the bus against Bama.
