All I can say is, look at Danny Woodhead, or Wes Welker or even Jim Leonard. All small and were told they weren't going anywhere. No matter what color or size or speed of a football player he's still a hard nose football player and idk how you can deny him that.
It was early in the 4th. Ball was at the 1 yd line. 2nd "O" was waiting on the sideline to go in. We were trying to get the ball out of there before we substituted.
mcguffie isnt getting drafted, he runs too soft...as for barket, i dont see division one talent even. he played against absolutley terrible competition and has no speed. players at the college level are too big and too fast. there are no more games against people who dont belong on the field at the next level. even with all that he only averaged 10 yards a carry
Lets just clear some things up. This kid is a very good back. You can't close your eyes at over 4000 rushing yards in one season. He can play D1. Although I coached at a D2 school, and a historically black college, I would have recruited him hard. He may go to a school and play another position, but remember Jim Kelly did not go to Penn State because they wanted him to play LB and not QB. Football does not care that this kid is white. They see that he is a talent and has a great coach. Go Mike!
there' s no conspiracy! i've seen alot of good tailbacks that are white in Pa.but those big #'s arent that special because the competition is very weak.coaches know you need a back with 'real speed"&moves because db's and linbackers are just as athletic.i can't remember the last great W. back in the nfl or D1 for that matter.there are some good fb's maybe but thats it!
look up Benjamin Bowen on youtube. he woned every combine he attended and still got hosed. oh, btw, he's faster than Cierre Woods. explain that one to me bro.
wow Louisville has Bolen!!?? wow, way to prove a point dumbass. Bolen is great but i would bet my left nut IF he ever gets a shot from an NFL team, he will be made into a blocking fullback on the first day of camp. do some fucking research.
Sam McGuffie went to michigan/rice, Jake sharp plays for Kansas, Toby Gerhart- Stanford, Brandon Wegher is going to Iowa and had offers from Penn State, Nebraska, Kansas, Missou, Auburn, Wisconsin, Tyler Gaffney is going to stanford, Jared Hawkins Vanderbilt, , Brandon Bourbon has offers from BYU, Missouri, Kansas, Vanderbilt, Stanford, Kansas state, but has another year of high school, Jared Rains- Cincy. you do some research yourself. All are white.
8 out of 119 some odd programs. wow, way to prove ur point jwall. yup, theres no discrimination against white skill players.
"In football, when you're talking about skilled players, there is a reverse prejudice that white players have to deal with," said recruiting analyst Tom Lemming of CBS College Sports. "College coaches for the most part don't believe white kids can play tailback or cornerback. Trumpy has done a great job of proving he can play at the highest level."
Your the one that wanted research and I showed it to you. I would have put more names but I thought you wanted big schools. In division 2 their is Mark Reynolds Montana, Trevyn Smith Weber, Kyle Minett South dakota, and a shit load of others. Danny woodhead-N york jets, Brian Leonard-bengals. I don't think their is a huge consperacy against white RB's If you are good enough like sam mcguffie, Jake sharp, Brandon Wegher, You can get offers from big schools like they did. Mcguffie will be drafted.
just to clear things up im not saying white rb's cant play D1, what i am saying is that dumb redneck coaches discriminate against them during recruiting.
there's no conspiracy,coaches know you put the most athletic player on the field! anybody can put up big #'s in high school but when you have Db's that can jump out the gym and got track speed then you need offensive weapons that are comparable!and im not saying no w.kid cant play tailback in the nfl but i cant remember that last D-1 player that really shined at those positions.look at the combine!
Sad thing is that is completely true, but luckily he is going to lehigh so he might get some touches in the backfield, but if he was going to any big conference then hes playin d.
i can definitley understand that....but there are pleanty of D1A schools out there with great education as well....although leheigh may be slightly better.....idn tough call
We discussed during the season. Part of it was being tired. I do not think he really consciously knew what he was doing. He never left the field, played D and Spec teams also. As the season went on the frequency reduced. thanks for the comment.
cant believe he didnt make the east-west game or the big 33 game. Its a shame. I saw him play 4 times this year.the game vs riverside was the best game i was ever at. His vision and ability to make the 1st guy miss is insane.

mrdawkins1974 2 years ago
because he is white. white kids aren't allowed to play tailback at the D1 level. the same thing happened to black qb's in the 70's and 80's.
