Luckylucci:

He may not be the #1 back in the country because of measurables but IMO he has the best highlight tape. Not sure how he stays on his feet in some of those highlights.

Can't find his thread and don't know how to make one so I leave this here for everybody to see and a mod can move it whenever.

Per GITF per Sapp:

Well Sapp did say we are going to make a run at the human highlight reel Racean Thomas. It really appears the plan is to get Hood in the fold and the court the top flight guys for as long as they will show interest.

Hudl has his junior highlights. Should come with a WARNING label.

Nickname is "Rock"

 

[BeauBenken]

Sorry about the double threads there for a second. Stuff was being glitchy. New new thread...should be all good.

And yes, watch his highlights. The things he is able to do are incredible.

Either Ross-e-n or Rock-e-n are my guesses.

Nickname is "Rock"

I guess that answers it. It's number two.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's "Ra-SHAWN"

why did my post get deleted?

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Found an interview on AL.com that pronounce his name "Ray-seen"

 

[PANDFAN]

was just at Auburn's jr day

That was my first thought. Similar to the city in Wisconsin.

Original thread deleted because it was glitchy. I made a new one.

OK, cool, I thought you hated me Beau....

So anyways, this kid's film is INSANE!!

In case of carry, break plane.

A recent aricle on 247 makes it sound like he is really feeling Auburn. Has visited them twice and Alabama 4 times. Really likes the offense Malzahn runs. Says that "they're like my top school."

He was all Bama for the longest time but ALL OF THE RUNNINGBACKS

Haha. Not at all. I was going to move your post here, but I was afraid it would put them at the top of the thread because technically you had posted them before I posted this thread.

Yea he went on 3 unofficials to Bama and attended their Jr. Day but like you said then they signed an army of Rb's. I also think Malzahn's offense is perfect for a guy this him.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

'Bama's recent RB bonanza and Auburn's likely rocky restart under Malzahn could create just enough of a window for us to steal him out of AL.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Wow. You know it is a good year for Running backs if this kid is the 4th or 5th best.

BTW, no way he makes it out of the state of Alabama.

I agree. Players with Alabama and lsu/auburn as their #1 and #2 don't end up Irish. If not those two places hell still end up in sec country.

 

[IrishLion]

Is it weird that the downfield blocking he gets from his WRs is my favorite part of this video? This guy and Fournette both have tremendous teammates.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Top Alabama prospects never leave the state. They end up one of the two big schools.

 

[Emcee77]

GAH that was amazing. I don't know if I've ever seen a guy absorb contact and keep his feet like Racean, without being a bruiser who just overpowers guys. He doesn't run over tacklers, but what a knack for bouncing off them. AMAZING balance. Kelly seriously must have flipped out over that tape.

Yeah RB is freakin stacked this year, 7 of the 31 5 's on 247 composite

 

[Buster Bluth]

THAT FILM IS NASTY.

Also, good luck:

I agree with Whiskey though. It's not a 0% deal right now.
