'11 CA ATH George Atkinson III (Signed Notre Dame LOI)

[RuntheBall]

I was about to say this. The pitch was late and shouldn't have ever occurred. Tommy really should have just ate it, but he pussed out and pitched it for another guy to get walloped.

I really only put the pitch thing because I had already started a list and didn't want to go back and change it to a simple conjunction or whatever. lol

I agree why are we running an option with Rees in at QB ahhh my eyes!!! just kidding it wasnt awful, but definitely not in his wheel house as compared to Golson (or even Hendrix/Keil)

No, you're allowed to say it. It was awful. The whole right side was closed off before he even got to the edge. It's like I was watching it in slow motion. Terrible. Never run the option with Tommy.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

If this son of a bitch can keep the ball against his body, run with two hands on the ball when going through the line or a pile, and catch a pitch...he's gonna be SO GOOD.

Already talking like a coach. I hope you were chewing on a cigar when you said that.

Or at least had a fat lip packed.

 

[Irishman77]

Wow this kid is ferocious! I haven't seen this much talent at RBI since. Bettis, waters, and the late Rodney culver.

Atta boy George!

 

[BeauBenken]

**** cray.

 

[FLDomer]

Eeehhh... It's decent, I guess

 

[RuntheBall]

george just won his heat of the 100m at the Big East Championships in Tampa. Time of 10.36s (+2.2m/s wind). Would have been a huge best, but illegal because of the tailwind. Will be in the finals.

Edit: Josh also ran. 10.50 with a + 2.5m/s wind index. Will also be in the finals tomorrow afternoon.

George's time converts to a 10.47 with no wind, while Josh's converts to a 10.63.
Wind/Altitude correction in the 100m sprint (very much accepted in the track community).

 

[BeauBenken]

I was about to faint from how awesome a 10.36 would have been. lol

 

[Kak7304]

I like seeing these incredible times despite the fact he's put on a few lbs. for football.

Sail on . . .

Not sure if this has ever been posted in either of the Atkinsons profiles but I thought it was a good video.

Cierre Wood is 93 overall and Tommy Rees and pretty much every ND qb is 86-88 overall. ND is 97 overall I believe, EA putting some stock in us.

Awesome. Not much of a gamer these days but that is a cool thing for GAIII.

 

[ACamp1900]

Yeah, that is pretty cool...

 

[returnofthemack]

That's cool, but kind of surprising. Out of curiosity, what are Deanthony Thomas (ORE) and that WR from Clemson rated? Those guys struck me as the fastest (not to say George is slow, but those guys seemed ridiculous).

 

[irishog77]

What rating did the cop who chased Tommy Rees down get?

Serious?

I believe they were rated quicker than fast, no info.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

You guys crack me up! Wow, I expected something (not video games) to be posted, instead I will get back to reality.

 

[PANDFAN]

Serious?

according to GAIII yes he posted that last night on FB

 

[NDhoosier]

I noticed he has like a 99 on speed... Put him as my KR and PR and has done pretty well so far, no TDs, but plenty of yardage.

 

[arrowryan]

I watched the spring game highlights again. Wow, is GA3 an absolute stud! I think he has more speed than Cierre Wood, more shiftiness thatn Riddick, and he doesn't go down on first contact. He is by far the player I want to watch the most this year.

Yes he is faster than Wood and no he isn't as shifty as Riddick. But, he is tough to bring down.

Ehhh idk. If they have GA as the third back I think they are making a mistake

Watch his run on 3:19. That's the reason why he needs to play a lot this year
