'14 NC RB Elijah Hood (UNC Verbal)

[koonja]

Would you rather what? And why?

.

 

[Irishnuke]

Are you always this pleasant, or do you only post when you're in a bad mood? Lol.

It's amazing that you can tell my tone from a question I posed on the internet.

I just don't understand why you would pose a "would you rather" question regarding two players that we already have (assuming Hood sticks). We have both.

SIAP, but I see some Eddie George in Elijah. Whatever you want to call it, he's a beast!

Just basking in our spoils I guess, lol. They're going to be a hell of a combo, and I don't think you can pick between them so I agree, it's irrelevant and impossible to answer.

Actually posing questions like that are a lose/lose proposition as any answers [except the one wise one by STL, who refused to fall into the trap] are partial put-downs to one of our guys [regardless if it was meant that way or not].

If people act mature about it, I disagree. They're both elite talents that everyone on this board is glad to have, so I don't see how it could end up as a 'lose-lose'. It would simply come down to personal opinion on shiftiness, or Eddie Lacy-like power? Do you prefer a more elusive back who can also be a pass-catcher, or a more traditional, between the tackles, after contact kind of guy? Since there's no real point, though, I will edit my original post.

Please someone tell me they heard the guy in the crowd call the play by play in his highlight tape? 2:38 mark! soooo funny

The highlight cut off before he got to "Be an organism!"

 

[NDdomer2]

All the highlights I have watched are silent, what one are you guys watching?

 

[beryirish]

Congrats on your decision Elijah! Happy your decision was Notre Dame. Welcome!

 

[ACamp1900]

I honestly can't remember better looking film for a RB than the one Hood has... very exciting.

Google Leonard Fournette

 

[GoldenToTheGrave]

Kieth Marshall's tape was pretty insane too.

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

Ok please look at his twitter page now. SO SICK.

 

[texbender]

Didn't think we had a chance with him, so this will be a great pick up if it holds through NSD. Would give Irish a 1-2 punch at the RB position with Bryant.
Looking like a nice class is taking shape.

[Walter White]

Google Leonard Fournette

Hood's highlights are more impressive in my opinion.

His runs are more interesting and he breaks way more tackles. Fournette just makes a cut and blows by people.

Just so this statement doesn't cause an uproar: I am by no way saying that I think Hood is better than Fournette, just that his highlights are better.

 

[clashmore_mike]

will be on ISD's power hour tonight

 

[NDdomer2]

I like his businesslike mentality. Score td, wait for teammates, jog off field.

 

[GBdomer]

You guys are throwing out some crazy *** comparisons.

 

[greyhammer90]

You guys are throwing out some crazy *** comparisons.

Lol what do you mean? Bettis, Turner, Peterson, are all very feasible... They might be understating it!

 

[Old Man Mike]

Herschel Walker

...end of discussion.

 

[RuntheBall]

Yeah, we'll we are just hyperbolic, we like hyperbole.

 

[GBdomer]

He looks faster on tape to me than Reggie Bush ever did. Has legs like Jones Drew, talks more sh1t than Chris Johnson, runs over people like Herschel Walker, the same size as Adrian Peterson, has Ron Dayne's chest, has a neck like Jamal Lewis, da *** of Beyonce so it will make it hard for people to wrap him up, probably hung like a porn star, has the biceps of Greg Bryant, the foot speed of Jacoby Ford, and can jump like a spider monkey.

Am I missing anything?

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

One time I was with Elijah in the back of a pickup truck, along with a live deer. Elijah goes up to the deer and says, 'I'm Elijah Hood! SAY IT!' Then he manipulates the deer's lips in such a way as to make it say, "elijahood."

It wasn't exactly like it, but it was pretty good for a deer.

He's an elite high school running back, built like a machine, and committing to ND.

You'll excuse us if we fawn over him a little.

Ugh, of COURSE you are you forgot to mention the quads of Barry Sanders the toughness of Bronko Nagurski the instincts of Thurman Thomas the yardage of Emmit Smith the nostrils of Fred Taylor the kneecaps of Earl Campbell the leadership (andshoulders) of Tim Tebow the noggin of Larry Csonka the hips of Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala the resilience of Willis McGahee the smarts of Alan Page the whimsy of Dhani Jones the hairdo of Eddie George the sweetness of Walter Payton the grace of Gale Sayers the rightplaceattherighttime of Franco Harris the soupmom of Donovan McNabb the explosiveness of LaDainian Tomlinson the eyes of Marion Barber III the hamstrings of Frank Gore ...

Actually he does kind of remind me of Frank Gore

 

[NDPhilly]

Honestly if I was to say his NFL comparison I'd say Michael Turner though Turmer may be faster.
