He's very quick with some sick moves and great field vision, but I really thought he was faster than he looked tonight. He missed out on a couple of TDs because he couldn't quite get away.

I think he should of scored on at least three of his carries. The kid's just sick. I would hate to be the safety in the game against him, Slaton and White. I don't think I would ever drop back in pass coverage.

WVU is probably the only school he could qualify for.

When he was a senior, every recruiting analyst said he needed to go to prep school for his grades. Then voila! He's enrolled in WVU.

Electric athlete though. Probably a much better college player than a pro, a la Rocket Ismail.

I'm sure he's no worse off than a ton of great college players as far as academics. Who needs an education when you have a chance to play in the NFL?

He's not ultra fast, but his balance is sick, he almost never goes down on first contact.

I think he's gonna be a great pro as well, he'll be a terrific runner on the next level.

Did anybody see the move he put on a couple of Maryland defenders on Thursday night? He was running to the right then made a cut to the left and the two poor guys just went flying the other way.

No. He was offered a spot by FSU, OSU and many other big time programs. The only significant one he wasn't offered was Miami.

He chose us because our offense perfectly fits his skills. Plus he would get a lot of pub this year since WVU is getting a lot of national coverage.

Even though hes a major knucklehead hes still going to keep us a top 5 program for the next few years :nod:

Yes, he was offered of course. People offer kids going to prep school, the committments hold throughout that year. I had always read he was in desperate need of it and would never qualify, maybe something drastically changed throughout his senior year.
