Rednilla 5,449 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 What classification is this he's playing against? Doesn't appear to have the top end speed Goodwin does, but great vision and balance, at least from those few clips the film showed. It wouldn't hurt my feelings any if we missed on him, as stacked as we are at running back already, but it sure never hurts to pick up a player of his talent. And, much as it surely grates at Golf's nerves, I tend to value the yellow one's input on players, especially those from Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ran a verified 4.42/40 last year at The Opening regional event. I didn't mean that he was slow, but admittedly 4.42 is faster than I would have guessed. It just seemed like he had a lot of DBs running with him on those runs, rather than him pulling away as I would expect of a back with good top end speed in high school. Of course, if it's 6A, that makes a little more sense, because there's a ton of talent at that level in TX. And maybe my standards for speed are a bit high, with Shivers and Goodwin in the fold. In any case, it'd be great to see Johnson playing for Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzle 3,948 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 As long as we keep Goodwin then I’m good and if LJ wanted to join I’d be estatic but I don’t see him coming to us imo. But he’s definitely solid, I love a RB who can run through arm tackles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednilla 5,449 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Just now, bigbird said: Pssst...DBs are fast too LOL, I know, but my thought was more that if this is an elite level speed running back, he'd be pulling away from DBs in high school. Again, I think it's the level of competition that I underestimated more than anything. Even while I was watching, I had the thought that it's certainly not bad if this is 6A, because a fair amount of those DBs will end up playing Division 1 football, but my consideration was that if he's not pulling away from high school DBs, how is he going to fare at Auburn when he's facing SEC DBs? Not saying that my thinking is right, just trying to explain where it's coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief Bo Jackson and Brent Fullwood. Both 1st team all-Amercans their senior year, plus Bo's Heisman. That duo would be hard to beat. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
