One more recruiting question

_ You can take Carter off the list as I hear he will not be used as a RB, and add Jackson, who had perhaps the most impressive stats of all of our running back signees. _

Maybe Harris as well. May end up playing LB.

_ Maybe Harris as well. May end up playing LB. _

As far as that goes, Griffin could be a stud at LB. As far as Carter goes, I think he could end up playing any number of positions. I think he could be the fastes guy UL has had since Clarence Verdin, maybe faster? Yous guys are gonna have to school me on this Jackson guy. Did I miss something? Sorry if I forgot one.

Overall though, you guys are making my point for me. THese guys are atheletic enough to play any number of positions. These are things guys are blessed with, real talent, & give a coaching staff options they otherwise wouldn't have.

How did I miss this? Sorry for not giving Jackson some much deserved respect. I don't care who you are, that is some serious offense right there. NOW I WILL ASK AGAIN, who in the country scooped up this much quantity & quality. I want to see another college boast of a RB class this strong.

The best stats comment was in regards to his yards per carry. I'm not a highschool football buff, but I would think that at any level of play, 2A, 3A, etc., those are some pretty phenomenal numbers. I like that 20% of his rushes ended in the endzone.

Senior years (only) combined: 9260 rushing yards, 131 rushing touchdowns.

Individually: Impressive.

As a class: "Jaw dropping"
