Josh Adams reminds me of an old school back, I watched some Gale Sayers highlights and they have a really similar run style. Not a lot of shifty jukes, but hitting the hole hard, and always running upfield
Eric Dickerson would have been a better comparison.

Dickerson was the guy that ran up-field in a heartbeat! Exactly who you were talking about. Sayers on the other had, did whatever he wanted, and went wherever he felt like. Once, he even ordered a lemon aide and hotdog from a vendor in the stands, sat up a stool and table on the 35 yard line, ate it all, and still scored a touchdown! The rumors of him getting mustard stains on his game pants are untrue.
If Gayle Sayers had the offensive line of Emmitt Smith, or OJ, and had missed the major knee injury, (which was deemed irrecoverable in those days,) let alone had the technological advantage players have today, he may have been the first 100k runner in football!
This thread is a tribute to a kid with enough sand to stand up to insufficient adults. Read that as you will. Recruiting has gone insane, and I am not sure I think it is the kids involved.
I don't care if he got pissed off and retracted his plans to commit to ND, or if he is pulling a Kaindoh, good for him.
As far as the information leaking from around him, adults in his camp, etc., have you seen the assholes that insert themselves and surround these kids. This is nothing new, although it is worse now because there is more money involved. It all is filthy dirty.
Kelly said that the creepiest thing about coaching at ND was all the people that followed you and acted like they knew you, and were your close friends.
