RECRUITING: Another in-state offer for 2018
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
While you may not want a bruiser back as your every down back with an underwhelming OLine, I think there is room for a guy who can consistently get you two yards whenever you need them on every team.
But, what I'm thinking is that I'd love to have a 225-pound Mike Warren with his current abilities as our premier back rather than a 185-pound Mike Warren with his current abilities.
It seems to me the point you're making, ripvdub, is that if Warren were to increase his good weight to 225, he should be moved to linebacker. That's my interpretation of what you're saying.
(Please note: Even though my opinion differs from yours, I have no reason to call you names or respond with snide comments as others here have done. Just saying. . . .)

Running backs seems like one of the toughest positions to evaluate since the O-line and level of competition is such a factor. Remember seeing Jason Scales thinking he was going to be a great College RB. Dominate HS player but didn't end up what I thought in college.
6'1" and 195 lbs. and runs a 4.4 40 yd. dash and he is a sophomore. He already has the size and speed. He might not gain a whole lot more weight or grow taller. The kid plays RB so he won't bulk up like a lineman in his training. Great that we are in on a kid like that early.
Scales was about 5'9" tops. And he battled some injuries as well which hampered his career. Scales missed the entire 2005 season with a knee injury and never really fully recovered IMO.
I'd be shocked if that 40 time is accurate. Only 10 running backs ran under a 4.5 in this year's NFL Combine. I truly doubt a HS sophomore is running that fast, but hey, maybe.
It was probably hand time so there's a .5-.15 second uncertainty
He's a high schooler that spends most of his time on a message board. I have a feeling he will be doing that hand thing for a while.
Let's see . . . if Sabein Clark is ready to make an impact here as a redshirt freshman, that would be the fall of 2019, right? Almost 3-1/2 years from now. If we don't have a rock-like, studly O-Line by then, I'll be pretty surprised. Nice combo, tough mean O-Line and a 215-lb. Sabein carrying the ball.
In an interview, though, SC did say, although he's being recruited as a RB, he said he could play other positions, too.

False, I spend most of my time on here at school. And I have a feeling you'll be doing that hand thing for a while.
He may end up playing somewhere else, he has a lot of years until he sees the field, but I would see nothing wrong with a 6-2 225 lb running back. Even if he isn't an every down back, it would be good to have a bruiser for short yard situations and blocking. Also seems to have good speed so it isn't like he is a one-dimensional tub.
