Florida has been turning out some BIG backs this year. They already have two of them in this class. Any interest from him?

 

[Irish Fam]

6'4 as a sophomore? wow.

 

[mgriff]

Looks like he might outgrow the position if that's all correct.

 

[Ironman8]

Massive RB prospect, has named Georgia an early leader.

 

[Ironman8]

Florida now leads, per Rivals.

 

[DomeX2 eNVy]

Wow is this kid impressive from watching him in the Opening. Does not even come close to looking like someone who is only going to be a Jr in High School. They mentioned that he may be recurited by some schoold for defense, but wants to be a RB.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Committed to UGA.

Big night for Georgia at Dawg Night.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

It's BAMA time.


Decommitted from UGA.

 

[Rack Em]

It's BAMA time.


Decommitted from UGA.

Please do. Then send us Altee Tenpenny.

 

[STLDomer]

 

[FLDomer]

Please do. Then send us Altee Tenpenny.

thinking the saaaame thing!

 

[yankeeND]

Tenpenny, yes please! These Georgia fans gon be trippin! I'm lovin it!

 

[Riddickulous]

Announcing again Thursday between Alabama and Tennessee. Sounds like a Bama lock.

Alabama is terrifying.

 

[BGIF]

Rushed for 502 yds and 6 TDs in his last game. Broke Emmitt Smith's career yardage record.

Rivals lists him as a TE. Scout as a RB. ESPN and 247 list him as ATH.

40's vary from 4.52 to 4.7.

Vertical is an NBA like 42 inches.

He can probably play just about anywhere but a DB in college depending on where his eating takes him.

 

[Meacon Irish]

Just verbaled to Alabama. And referred to himself in the third person. Oh boy.

 

[Irishman77]

Amazing athlete but no way a RB. Runs straight up and down at 6'4.

 

[Riddickulous]

Saban will turn him into a future All-Pro linebacker.

 

[SaltyND24]

Saban will turn him into a future All-Pro linebacker.

I would have to agree...Looking at his game on ESPN and although he has 317yds and 5TDs...his running style will not translate to the college game IMO...Think he could be a killer on the defensive side of the ball

 

[Luckylucci]

Was watching the game thinking the same thing as u guys. Wow what an athlete. His numbers over the last two games are insane. I also agree that he could be a killer cat LB coming off the edge

 

[yankeeND]

Even though this was an inevitable conclusion that Henry was going to Bama, I am amazed at the machine that is Saban's football factory! This kid is a monster as is most of the players there. With all that said I see in the not to distant future our guys getting our chance vs them!

Let's learn a lesson from Michigan and not schedule Bama, at least not while Saban's there.

I'm not talking about putting them on the schedule brother, we do the job on the field they will be put on it for us!

Henrys new ride

Sorry if already posted. I thought it was funny that Pat White posted this link with the message "Stop pretending like you didnt know the crimson tide has been doing this for years. Still glad I turned down a corvette to become a Mountaineer."

Disappointed in Henry and Bama. Should have been a Mercedes.

 

[GoldenToTheGrave]

On an unrelated note to this pic, I can't help thinking that Henry, despite being a beast at RB, may have wanted to more seriously consider other positions due to the devaluation of RB's in the NFL.

 

[PANDFAN]

unfortunately IF and i mean a BIG IF...w/ the notorious other RB's having escalades and other nice rides it leads you to believe something is fishy here...also seeing how his dad was absent for many years to dealing drugs and lockup, he lived w/ his grandmother while growing up and didn't have money growing up from articles i had read so maybe they hit the lotto??

Remember, DJ Fluker admitted he got paid... then retracted it "saying he got hacked"... and then they found stone cold proof that he got paid.

And absolutely nothing happened. Simple fact is that under Mark Emmert's "leadership" the NCAA has become completely toothless. And after Miami didn't get sanctioned hard, everyone knew it was open season fo' realz.

Lax is just mad cause all he got for playing lacrosse is 2 bus passes, one way at that.



No, seriously-- you're absolutely correct in this post. ncaa is a total joke. And they seem to be the only ones that don't know.
