Old UM VHS Recruiting Tapes

[TheMatador]

I can still visualize Damione Lewis HS highlights, I remember how quick he was to recover from blocks, including up off the ground.

I think Lewis might have had his best game in his last game --a bowl game against UF.

Frank Gore running between the tackles for a 5-5 Gables team was the best high school player tape I’ve ever seen. Balance, vision, toughness, speed. OMG. What a football player!

100% it was an art form how he carved teams up.

Literally impossible to tackle. one man Army

still the best I’ve ever seen live. ( I’m a pro sports photographer )

 

[SayWhat]

I'll raise you all AP. Pro ready straight out of high school. That's my Mt. Rushmore of backs 8ve seen since I started following recruiting.

Check out CanesInSight on YouTube and sort for oldest videos first. You can see em all.

Didn’t see any

Too bad there are No Freddie Miles HS tape....he was better....

 

[mirasuegui]

remember Gore senior year, he was going head to head with the RB from Columbus ( last name started with a M) : They met I think at Tamiami, and were running wild all night

 

[KANE]

God showed mercy on every RB he created when those injuries happened to Frankie. The production gap woulda been too wide. A healthy kneed Frank probably passes Emmitt 4-5 seasons ago...

I think Lewis might have had his best game in his last game --a bowl game against UF.

Definitely. He was thrust into a primary role probably too early in his career so that’s why he was underwhelming initially. But by his last year he was excellent. How

 

[Trav]

And that difference in explosion would
Have made him the greatest of all time Rb. Of course maybe he wouldn’t have learned the patient, intelligent style he did to compensate, too. But that extra gear with what he became =GOAT.

He was Barry Sanders level before the knees went out.

 

[Cortez55403]

No problem. Reggie Bush in high school was like watching a **** video game. He was crazy good, but he wasn’t running against the type of kids that Gore was facing on the week to week basis.

Reggie Bush was on an excellent San Diego high school football team. His QB?……Alex Smith. Not bad.

Noel Devine’s was beyond absurd for a high school kid.

Another NFM Kid....but his competition was nothing compared to Gore's....

@DMoney converted a bunch of mine and put them on YouTube a few years ago.

D - you got the links?

Here are some good ones:

Andre Johnson returning kicks at his size with that acceleration and cutting ability....wow.

Wilfork looks like a blob with the quickness of a mouse destroying everything in sight.

I remember DJ Williams between wanted by everyone. Couldn’t believe we got him. What an athlete.

 

[Luke Caneswalker]

Here are some good ones:

Yoooo!!!!!! This was my first time seeing Wilfork’s HL tape.

No way there was a better football prospect in his class. He was making Glade Central look like Key Biscayne’s pop warner team.

 

[Ethnicsands]

The guy who pops most on Hs tape, imo, is Andre. Just physically, he’s an nfl prototype in Hs. Amazing.

Gore pre-injury is as good a RB prospect as anyone has ever seen.

You should have seen Freddie Miles....better than Gore...20yrs earlier....

I recall most of the modern era greats in Hs. Not miles. But going back to Billy Sims, ****erson, Smith, Marcus Allen, Herschel Walker. AP. Faulk. Some guys were physically dominant in HS, some were electric in a way that doesn’t necessarily translate all the way to the NFL. Sanders was the guy who was electric and it did translate. But for pure vision, field sense, balance, cutting, burst, change of direction, not sure anyone was more of a true running back than Gore. Smith merits mention. It’s just cool to watch it now, knowing what he went through and what he accomplished on repaired knees, and see how he was back when.
