'14 CA RB Joe Mixon (Oklahoma Verbal)

[STLDomer]

Mixon is a USC lean

 

[Ironman8]

Bumped way up to #15 Overall player in the updated Rivals rankings.

 

[Emcee77]

Nice! I had a feeling he was going to climb the rankings from the time I first saw his tape, but I didn't know he'd get that high. Wow. Stud.

 

[BeauBenken]

After the Starks "incident" (whatever it may be), Starks dropped considerably on my personal board and Mixon took his place.

Yeah I feel the same way, especially after they made Mixon a five star. Unfortunately I think we had a much better shot with Starks. I wouldn't be mad if we landed Starks though. Either way they both seem to be icing since we already landed the cake.

lol This was not my reasoning. I just knew the kid could play and I think it's a guy who we could get in on further down the road.

@Joe_MainMixon: Arizona st USC and Notre Dame was all at practice today.

 

[peoriairish]

Would be interesting to know which coaches. Oakley is only an hour 30 min from Auburn (EV's town).

 

[STLDomer]

Probably visiting this summer per II

Sounds like the camp format has changed a bit for this year, Mixon's coach is working at it and Weishar mentioned a big BBQ

This kid is big time, would compliment Hood well

 

[anarin]

not sure if this has been said already...

I see a less shifty and more hard nosed Cierre Wood with this guy.

Great minds think alike because that is more or less what I've been saying. The only ? like Wood is what is his work ethic like.

It sad because IMO Wood has 1st round natural ability but went undrafted because like I said that IMO he lacked that edge, the fight, the will to be the best he can be and did just enough.

That said I love this kids game and have from the get go.

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

I would love to add Mixon more than any (uncommitted) player other than Starks or Smith but does anyone think we have a realistic shot here?

Most of the crystal ball favors USC for Joe. All he has to do is fall in love on this summer visit.

I would take him and recruit Starks only as an athlete, should he get his act together.

Stud...I knew i liked him for a reason way back in December.

 

[Luckylucci]

I think he moves into the top 10 next time they update and will make a push for the #1 rb. He'll probably have to have a great season but I don't think its impossible. And if I were starting a team today I would rather have Mixon than Michel and Fournette.

 

[koonja]

Does he have dumps like a truck?

I think I just stepped into a time machine, I must be back in high school

As of now we aren't even in the discussion for an OV per 247

bummer ... but with Hood in the fold and two high-level recruits in the 2013 class, I feel like it's gonna be tough to get too many elite RBs interested in 2014.

I totally agree with this. But we still need to get one more elite/semi-elite RB this cycle.

 

[TheTurningPoint]

ND is done at RB for this class.

 

[TerryTate]

Have Folston and Bryant impressed so far?

Not sure, they havent really done anything but Longo Beach, and most likely 7 on 7s at this point.

...Starks?

Oh good, he made a tough catch at a 7 on camp and danced like he won a big game. I can learn to hate him the same way I learned to hate the original Leclown (if indeed he ends up a condom). Can't wait for him to turn the corner and be introduced to a certain Jaylon Smith.
