From a ratings perspective I doubt they have any chance to catch Folston and Bryant. Wouldn't take much to surpass their production though.

Him and Coach Taylor along with a couple others were having dinner at Brothers while I was there pregaming the ND hockey game. Incredibly well built for a kid still a junior in high school especially in person.

Funny that I totally forget Bryant was even at ND. Man I thought that kid was going to be special. RIP

A Murphy/Tyree combo would be incredible.

And it's a near perfect complement. Murphy is a big, powerful back with good speed. Tyree is the fastest kid in high school.

I just looked through Tyree's twitter account and now I want him even more than I did. Incredibly well-spoken, genuine kid. Same with Tirek.

It's hard to find very athletic kids who aren't bought into themselves and both of these guys fit the bill.

This is the most I've wanted two RB prospects.

The goofy pinstripe uni.....

Does seem odd that a kid from Queens would want a pic in a Yankees uni. Sorta like Shark ever putting on a rattyazz Cubs jersey. But at least he got paid to jump ship.

After just updating Loy's movements on Jennings and Carr I regretfully inform you all that Loy slipped in a ND CB last night.

Wiltfong has an old UM CB from last July still on the board.

I hope ND doesn't get Loy'd on this one.

Very positive update from Sinclair on II. There were a couple of quotes by Tirek that made me think he's already sold and is going to try and get Tyree to come with him.

What do you guys think of his film?

I'm getting a very Tony-Jones-Jr vibe from it.

Probably fair in running styles. Neither is a burner. I went back and watched TJJrs junior highlights and it's hard to get a read on him because his OL opened up 6 foot gaps for him to run through. I also didn't see him catch the ball like Tirek.

I guess we'll have to see how Tirek looks in his senior film before saying anything definitely because these kids are still growing but I don't think you're way off in your assessment.

I do think Tirek looks to have a bit more athleticism at similar stages.

Generally agree with VDP on this. I think they have some similarities between them. Both have good all around skillsets with no real discernible elite traits. However, I do think there is a fairly noticeable difference in overall athleticism with Tirek versus Jones Jr at similar stages. While I don't think Tirek has elite speed, I think he has another gear that I didn't see from Jones Jr.

Let's clean up one thing right now. He is listed most places at 6-0 and I've seen 6-1 used also. He's not. He's 5-10ish. Those pics of him standing next to Josh Adams & BK are telling.

But he is put together. Period.

I somehow skipped over and never say Veritate Duce Progredi's post, so I thought you guys came up with a new nickname for me over the weekend, as was under the impression I was the first and only to compare to TJ Jr.

My bad.
