Very pleased with this pickup. Look forward to getting this guy on campus and seeing how he competes.

I don't know if this has been brought up yet but it was news to me so I'll post it. In article Sinclair did today about the current 19' committed class, he mentioned that Kyren is a EE.

He should be, he has every opportunity to earn minutes the first season he puts on the gold helmet. I'm not saying he's a lock but the roster isn't very imposing right now. The first four games will tell us a lot about what we have.

While I think it's a great opportunity for him, due to the lack of proven production, at this time. And he brings a high quality skillset to the position, he'll still have 4 guys in front of him. With Avery Davis being a potential 5th as he looks to getting some snaps as an APB. And some of those guys I expect to be making contributions this year.

Agreed, time will tell, but it can't hurt him to throw his hat in the ring as early as possible.

I have a hard time not seeing Jafar Armstrong make a name for himself this fall. He impressed in the Spring Game, FWIW, even though he had a nagging injury. Seems to have an impressive burst and finished his runs through contact.

I'm similarly hopeful we have another C.J Prosise on our hands. He had some burst, I just hope he has the vision and patience that CJ had

NICE

BobbyMac · Aug 20, 2018

But but but... he's a little scatback and ND needs a bigger RB to pair with him.

- Said no one lately.

Luckylucci · Aug 20, 2018

He displayed solid physicality in his junior film. Because of that I was never as worried about his usage at the collegiate level.

BobbyMac · Aug 20, 2018

Physically, this is Tarean Folston 2.0. Started off 5-9/180ish, will end up 5-9.5/5-10 & 215+. 247 says Williams is at 200 now, I can easily see the weight he's put on in the past year. I think Folston was over 190ish when he reported to ND.

Bryce Love - 5’10” 205lbs
Devin Singletary - 5’9” 200lbs
D’Angelo Brewer - 5’9” 190lbs
Diocemy Saint Juste - 5’8” 200lbs
Phillip Lindsay - 5’8” 190lbs
Justice Hill - 5’10” 190lbs
Ito Smith - 5’9” 195lbs

7 of the top 15 rushers in the FBS had his similar height. I think he can fit comfortably into that range of 5’9” 195-210lbs. A lot of these guys have speed he can’t even dream of though. I think he’ll be a solid addition to the backfield.

I was saying that when everyone was comparing him to golden and Theo. I think the Tarean comp is very good.

Just a little tid bit on Kyren Williams from a ranking perspective.

247 - 89 (26th best RB/APB) - 25 4*'s in the ratings, so he's number one 3*
Rivals - 5.7 (34th best ATH) - 27 4*'s in the ratings, he's got 6 six kids between him & 4*
ESPN - 80

I think it's really a matter of time before Kyren gets a ratings bump with how he's performing. I know it's Missouri high school football which isn't like Georgia, Florida, or Texas, but he's toying with kids in Mizzou.

St. Louis high school football***

Big difference

NDMIA · Sep 7, 2018

It's good football, but its not Texas, Georgia, or Florida. I'm glad he's dominating teams. 10/5 7PM against Christian Brothers will be an awesome test to see how he does. That's a legitimately awesome high school team he's going up against.

Veritate Duce Progredi · Sep 7, 2018

I might go see him next week. They play Chaminade at home. If I can get make it over there, I'll report back.

yep. CBC is nice

Is it just me or does he run a little like Golden?

Agreed, there is something in their compact gate.

BobbyMac · Sep 15, 2018

Had 180 yds rushing, 130 yds receiving, 3 TD's and an Int (his 4th of the season) in a 49-35 win over Chaminade.

As someone who has been high on Kyren since the beginning, this pleases me.

This will probably please you even more. First 4 game highlight. Kid is fun to watch

Unreal. He looks incredibly difficult to tackle, he runs through so many players on most of those scores. Really hope he gets the ratings bump he deserves and I hope he EEs. We need him taking reps in the spring.

arrowryan · Sep 18, 2018

These highlights are FAKE NEWS! We've already voted on IE that he's way too small and not nearly fast enough!
