A few thoughts:

- Rudolph measures out bigger than he looks. Very good size.
- Lammons is a great natural athlete, but he is not wowing anybody physically.
- Wilson put up some solid numbers for a big DB.
- I've been waiting for legitimate numbers on Cook and Yearby, and these confirm what my eyes are telling me. Cook is the bigger and faster player by a solid margin.

Dont get too down on Yearby. If we are looking solely at numbers...Im watching the Sparq Champ on TV now and it says RBs with rating of 85 or above are 9 times as likely to be drafted in the 1st 2 rounds. Like that stat for Yearby.

Nothing to be down about. Yearby is a CANE; that other guy who plays HS ball with him is swamp scum. Three years from now, Yearby will be the next great CANE rb replacing The Duke! That other guy, well he will be a "what ever happened to ....., man he was great in HS, guy." Yearby can casue injuries to defneders without even hitting them--broken ankles take a long time to heal. Image after Duke teaches him that stiffarm.
 
Kaaya is a great recruiter he will be helping us for how ever many years he is here with getting some Cali boys down here

And George Campbell. Though I looked at Campbell's Twitter he was having conversations with the 2014 Michigan QB commit Speights. TIFWIW.

They just bumped him to the #1 WR for 2015, Da'Vante Phillips is the #2 WR.
 
I will interpret that as Kaaya beating that *** and spanking Dalvin to prove his football IQ is through the roof. Reel em in big boy!

Jojo seems to test very well, and is a really good athlete. Would like to see it translate more on the field.

I think Cook put some of those size comments to rest, dude has put in some good work this offseason. Good for him, dude is a beast. We cannot lose the best player in dade 2 years running. C.A.N.N.O.T.


Depending how much D he plays this season, I think he might go on a Duke like tear.... I **** near expect it...

Not going to happen he has other elite offensive players on his team for him to have to carry the team the way Duke did.

Hmm, I saw duke play a ton...

Coach Dunn did an EXCELLENT job with duke during the season and keeping his pitch count low, maybe broke 20+ carries twice during the season. Had multiple games under 10+ carries... Rode him hard during the playoffs, duke still ended the season with 2,000+ yards. Lulz


Without looking it up, I would say Cook YPC is similar to Duke. Obviously there is alot more that goes into that but its not just carries, I mean how he controls the game, pop in Cook performance against Northwestern in playoffs and he Dominated that game (kinda like duke in playoffs his junior year against South fort meyers, KO to house, Pick 6, and carries to house) Cook had I think two runs to house, Huge punt return that set up another TD, Blocked fg att, and an INT. I think he will turn it up a notch


Oh and for all the talent that central has, Cook does work with the touches he gets, almost sure he has a 10+ ypc.

Duke season wasn't special imo because of stats which is why I said Dalvin won't have to carry his team in that way in order for him to go on a Duke like tear. Duke's playoff run is what made it one for the ages and separated it from many other great seasons in DCHS history (including Joe's soph season).

They did a good job keeping Dukes carries low during the season but they rode the **** out of Duke (and why wouldn't he) in the playoffs. I don't see Dalvin having to carry the ball 25+ times in back to back playoff games to help his team advance (iirc I don't even remember seeing Dalvin get close to that many carries). I still can't believe what I saw during that Palmetto game and will tell my sons about it just like I'll tell them about Franks game against SW back in 00'. Heck in just the last three playoff games Duke had 11 TD's that's ridiculous.

I just don't see Dalvin ever continuously being relied on to carry this team like that. Honestly even taking how dominant he was in the Naples game and no one can argue against the fact the "bionic man" won Central the game, Yearby also contributed big in that Naples.
