Is he in Europe or is he tweeting from the future?

 

[STLDomer]

Per 247 he's been waiting for the offer for awhile, staff loves his tape and compared him to Adrian Peterson

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

I assume he's a backup plan if we don't get Sony.

Pretty sure "Joe Mixon - The Next Adrian Peterson" is actually a highlight video of his...

Yep.

[calvegas04]

his offer sheet is massive

 

[STLDomer]

Continuation of the 247 update:

Will narrow his list down in April/May, UGA and ND will likely get OV, announcement at Army Game

 

[BeauBenken]

Updated offer list, rankings, and added highlight video to original post.

Kid is a talent. Runs like he weighs 230, not 190.

Expect him to be a top 150 kid on all services. Runningback is loaded in this year's class.

no problem at all just surprised to hear the staff make that comparison, yet not have offered the kid yet. sorry, until now.

 

[Ironman8]

Us offering was the basis for that article...

[clashmore_mike]

what is the staff waiting for on offering this kid????

 

[NDdomer2]

sorry Swype, got me just edited. didn't know everyone had perfect posts around here.

and iron man. i was aware the staffed just offered. my poorly worded post was more to the effect that if they feel this kid is comparable to a man who can win league MVP after a knee surgery and while needing operated on for a sports hernia then what took them so long?

 

[TerryTate]

Mixon & Hood Please.

 

[Ironman8]

Mixon & Hood Please.

Hell yes.

 

[STLDomer]

Mixon & Hood Please.

+1 here and Beau's earlier statements

If u offered me Mixon and Hood and had to shutdown RB recruiting after than (no Sony, Starks etc) I would take that deal in a heartbeat

 

[NDPhilly]

Mixon looks like he could play slot too from that video. Do Want.

 

[ryno 24]

Arent we only getting one back in this cycle? If so, we only take Hood or am I wrong

 

[BeauBenken]

So we all originally thought, but the staff is definitely covering their bases by recruiting many RBs hard.

Possibly because this is such a good class of RBs, the staff thinks they can get two this year, and skip out next.

 

[Ricochet]

If you can get elite talent you take you take them regardless if the position is already overloaded plus there is real concern about Amir Carlisle ankle and then there is the versatile Folston who could easily move to WR or CB.

If ND takes 2 RB's that means that they got 2 special talents as in the elite of the elite types.

 

[GBdomer]

finally

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Hey you guys, Michigan State offered.

Saw somewhere that he will be at USC's junior day this weekend.

 

[drake29]

Cracks me up - the title of his jr. film proclaims him the next Adrian Peterson. Kid has a long way to go to get where Adrian Peterson was as a junior in HS. That said, he's a very good RB talent. Not sure i'd put him on par with Michel or Hood (or Fournette/Scarborough), but he's in the next group.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Looks like he can catch. First I have seen of that skill in this years tape.

How about blocking? None of these tapes show that and I know that is evaluated by Kelly's staff right up front.

 

[koonja]

He actually does remind me of AP. I like his film a lot. With our log jam at RB, I wonder if he'd be a WR/slot prospect?

Really like his film. A lot.

 

[peoriairish]

Ill watch this kids film when I get home from work, but IMO, fournette looks more like AP than anyone. 6' 2", already filled out, fast fast fast. AP is the first thing I thought of watch fournettes film. My thoughts on Mixon will come tonight.

I refuse to watch his tape because I'll spend the next 11 months dreaming for no reason, lol.

That's a solid plan. It's so freaking good.
