People forgetting about Mark Walton.....

[NewJerseyCaneFan]

I rank him as a higher prospect than Yearby because Walton has a true second gear. Walton is ready physically and is a great receiver to get significant playing time as a freshman. He's a true all around back. Much stronger and faster than Yearby. THe man was impressive tonight.,

 

[Geo305]

Second gear. No. Walton has good speed, not great.

But runningback is not all about speed or even strength. It's about everything combined, vision, cutting, agility, footwork, pass protection, speed, power, receiving ability, etc.

BUT I do like the skillset Walton brings. I've always said he's a jack of all trades RB. He's not great at one thing but he's good at everything which is what makes him great.

 

[DMoney]

I also rank Walton over Yearby. He's really starting to fill out and has a powerful lower-body. He's also the best receiving back I've seen out of Miami in some time.

Those backflips during the celebration should tell you about his athleticism.

 

[HEMICANE]

Walton is an impressive player and played very well tonight IMO. He runs tough and plays hard and appears to be bigger than Yearby was coming out of hs. If Scarlett sticks I think he will be the featured back with Yearby being the complimentary back but time will tell. Feb is a long ways away and who knows what's gonna happen with this program smh

 

[Geo305]

I like Walton more as a prospect than Yearby as well. Think Walton has a higher ceiling than Yearby. No knock on Yearby at all as I think he's a stud and will be a good one. Walton is a tougher runner than Yearby but their is things Yearby does better than Walton. But from pure potential and as a prospect. Walton over Yearby.

Walton hasn't maxed out physically yet. I've always said that I want to see how Walton transforms after going through a college weight program.

His ability in the pass game is huge as DMoney said.


Now from a skillset point as of right now. I would rate 1. Walton 2. Scarlett 3. Williams

I would have rated Scarlett as #1 from total skillset. But Walton is the superior player in the receiving game.

Williams still very raw as a RB, electric yes but things to improve.




From a ceiling and potential point. 1. Scarlett 2. Williams 3. Walton

Physically ready point 1. Scarlett 2. Williams 3. Walton



I do think Walton can play early but I would like if he took a shirt next year to bulk up. Williams comes in spring, then Scarlett in fall with Walton. Scarlett is more physically ready and Williams will have a jump on Walton being here earlier. Walton is also the youngest of the 3.

I really think Walton would benefit from a redshirt year. Better for his development.

walton does have a second gear. i said nothing about elite top end speed. walton has explosion that yearby does not have.

Second gear and explosion is more towards Scarlett.

Second gear is if that kid can turn on the jets after getting past the front 7 and beat the last line of defense. Not everyone has that at all.

Explosion by power and leg strength? Yeah, I think Walton has a much stronger lower body than Yearby and is more physically put together coming out of high school. For a kid that's 180's. Walton looks rock solid.

Walton still has to get bigger but he is physically impressive.

 

[hesskilla]

I think yearby will be better next year with a full off season devoid of injury recovery. If we have all four (Walton, Scarlett, Williams, and Yearby) on our team next year, I'm not sure which one/two I would want getting the most carries.

I don't think Walton redshirts the man has a chance to get significant playing time. He can play right away.

My main beef on yearby is that not only is he not every fast and lacks explosion, he doesn't have much physical strength. He has everything else.

There will be playing time available for the freshman running backs next year.... A lot..

Yearby is the one who should've red shirtted. I like him a lot but the man is not there yet physically. WHy wasn't he redshirted?

no way in **** walton shirts.

I think Walton shirts due to being the youngest and he's not as big as Scarlett and Williams YET. But make no mistake he's just as good.

Something that concerned me this year on Yearby was his running between the tackles. He was very well known to be a good runner between the tackles at Central. I think his injury has some to do with that too.

 

[Geo305]

I think yearby will be better next year with a full off season devoid of injury recovery. If we have all four (Walton, Scarlett, Williams, and Yearby) on our team next year, I'm not sure which one/two I would want getting the most carries.

This, I felt the injury hurt him a bit. He was impressive but obviously want more from a physical point in his game.

I expect Gray to move to WR still. And I'm still supremely suspect on Gus still.

I would go Scarlett & Yearby and situational use of Williams.


Walton is very capable of playing early but I'm going off the scenario. Williams is here in spring. Scarlett comes in same time as Walton. Scarlett is more ready to play right away of them all.

We have to save and shirt and seperate class years. Don't take it as a knock to Walton cause he's every bit as good but he would benefit greatly from a year in the weight room more than any of the 3.

We should have shirtted Yearby he truly needed one but we didn;t have the depth to do so. THat would have been ideal with the guys coming in.

 

[datdude81]

They should all complement each other very well

Yearby coming off that injury definitely should have shirted as it looked like he could have used a year in the weight room but we didn't have the fortune of that by missing out on Collins, Cook and Michel.

If we had landed just one of those guys, completely different landscape for us at the position actually. And we would probably be only taking 2 instead of 3 this year if we got one of them.


But everything is all in the past and I love what the 3 we got bring to the table.

I see a big physical specimen with elite speed and power in Scarlett.

I see a versatile, high athleticism, and electric player in Williams.

I see a wide range skillset, do it all kind of back in Walton.

 

[jw410]

yearby 100 carries
gus 80 carries
walton 80 carries


looks about right





not sure the other two will be here.

 

[CanesNation55]

I would rank walton and scar over duke thier men remind me of backs that been going to some of the sec schools like bama,.. Yearby is more in the duke mold

Woah Woah Woah


Way too early for that.

Neither of them anywhere close to Duke yet.

I think if any of them have the potential to have a better career than Duke it's Scarlett as I feel he could play from day 1.


Yearby and Duke play very different from each other.

 

[frozencane]

I rank him as a higher prospect than Yearby because Walton has a true second gear. Walton is ready physically and is a great receiver to get significant playing time as a freshman. He's a true all around back. Much stronger and faster than Yearby. THe man was impressive tonight.,

I didn't think he was that impressive, he had 5 short yardage plays to get a yard and didn't get it, so he definitely shouldn't get the short yard carries
