on paper I like the kid. I just have to wonder with such good grades and above average SAT why Davidson was the only other school to make him an offer. That is what the links say, don't know if that info is complete. Davidson may be the only FCS program worse than Columbia. If it is a size issue, you would think people would know by now 5'9" RBs do just fine if they have great instincts, speed and strength.

I hope he steps in and replaces the explosiveness of Marcorus. Just wondering if there is more to his being overlooked.

Looks like a fullback.

I hope he turns out to be a great player, but he should talk to the person who put together that highlight video.

Guys, there is a reason why this kid wasn't recruited by other Ivies (or other schools for that matter). That "highlight tape" is horrible. If you rewind it, I think he looks faster. A 5'8" fullback (height from scout.com weigh in)??? Jake is right, if that's the best this kid has to offer, it's a waste of a recruit.

After reviewing a lot of PM's recruits, it is clear to me that he is recruiting students first, and football players second (or in some cases third). Other Ivies recruit football players first, and then the student. I fear we have sunk into a greater abyss than even we think...

No, no, we have been assured by "anonymous" that we have plenty of reasons for hope and optimism.

Have not seen anonymous do a lot of posting lately, incidentally.

Weird....
