Sam bruce

[Barboni]

UM is trying to win the college playoffs, not the super bowl... Even if he's maxed out, his production in college is all that matters... That being said, I don't think he's maxed out... If players like Wsyne Chrebet and Wes Welker can make it with limited physical attributes, if Bruce applies himself he can be a successful pro... Where has this theory of being maxed out come from? Production is production...

Exactly.

I've heard this from a few coaches, but it's because he's been relatively the same size since 8th grade. He's also short and doesn't posses "elite" break away speed (100m time isn't impressive). Kid's gained muscle, though. He only runs in the 4.5's, but can cut on a dime and has an elite burst. Reminds me a lot of Peter Warrick and Tavon Austin coming out of hs. Those two had elite college careers. Would probably be our best cornerback recruit, if he decided to play defense.

Yes you're right Sam Bruce lacks top notch speed in fact for a guy who has elite quickness I'm suprised he's that slow.

But that quickness, his ability to make people miss in the open field, his 100% elite.

Warrick and Austin didn't have elite long speed, either.

botht hose guys are faster than Bruce.

But elite long speed is reall overrated.

Austin never broke 11 seconds in hs. Warrick also ran a 4.55 and 4.56 for pro scouts. The knock on him was his speed. Both of them could play RB, depending on the scheme. Just get the ball in their hands.

Hester was obviously a lot faster, but never had an elite 40 or 100m time. He possessed, more than likely the most elite burst and change of direction, ever in football. He didn't even run the fastest 40 at the Miami nike combine when I was in hs. That was Terrell Walden who played WR/CB for us and my boy Mike Williams from Cardinal Gibbons. Both ran 4.2's.

Bruce has one of the best 0-20yd bursts and change of direction from watching HS in SFL, as well as OOS HS football, that I can remember since the mid 90's.

I wanna be wrong cause I think this kids the real deal even tho I do believe he has no more room to grow as a player, but I trust the person that told me this so there's that , according to jake Allen "bruce changes his mind everyday one day he's ready to be a gator the other day he's all miami"

Dro realist **** you wrote. I think Bruce is maxed already so whoever gets him get's a stud for college. I don't see him doing much in the pros.

The more people come to realize this has been a troll job from the start, the more people will start to act like he isn't very good. We have seen it many times before, we will see it many times again.

Yea I did notice in his tape that he didn't have elite speed but he's a football player... He sort of reminds me of Collier... For some crazy reason I think he would definitely kill it in a spread but I'm also confident that he can do damage in any offense especially ours... After watching Welker and growing up admiring Chrebet, if this kid rains focus he can do it...

Iont know. Tavon Austin hs highlight is a classic. I still go back and watch him run circles around his competition

Yup. You said it perfectly and it happens all the time.

Jordan Scarlett was an overrated scrub when it was assumed he had no interest in UM, but then he deserved a fifth star after he committed to us and killed it at The Opening. He flipped to UF and now he'll be a bust because their o-line is trash and he's soft again.

Naseir Upshur was a beast when it was thought we had a real shot at landing him. Now that he's looking at FSU? Meh.

Players committed to us are constantly compared to all-time UM greats. Recruits who are either committed elsewhere or not expected to come here don't deserve the hype they get from 247, ESPN, etc. because reasons.

It's as if certain fans/posters try to minimize everything negative that happens to try to spin it in their heads that nothing is a big deal. The select, special few who don't yet realize Bruce is trolling Miami will inevitably turn on him and claim he's not a big loss. They'll backtrack on the hype for McCloud, Richards, Byrd, etc. if they flip, too.

Sam Bruce would be stupid to go to UF. If he flips, it should be to a team that has a proven QB. Or a good QB coming in....

everybody act likes treon harris and will grier sre scrubs but you'll see uf actually has 2 good qb's right now

also a coach that i think will be a big upgrade over muschamp imo

Harris is a slot wr or db playing qb and Grier hasn't played a down in a game yet

if treon ends up transferring cuz grier does well watch he's gonna kill it somewhere like louisville or auburn

While that's true, the flip-side is also true. Every 2-3 star Miami-Dade player is a superstar when we don't offer them. The lack of an offer is proof that the coaches don't know anything about recruiting Miami-Dade. When we do offer them and they commit, they are scrubs who we went after when we instead should have gone after better players...again because the coaches know nothing about recruiting. Bottom line is nobody is happy ever.

Iont know. Tavon Austin hs highlight is a classic. I still go back and watch him run circles around his competition

Sam Bruce does the same thing against his competition, which is harder due to the nationally ranked opponents on STAs schedule. Big plays and he's the most explosive player on the field against: American Heritage, Don Bosco Prep, etc...

Stats aren't as good, but his team actually has/had other legit options (Scarlett, Grimes, Peete, and other D1 skill players).

Not saying he's had a better career, but the athletic skill-set and talent level coming out of hs are very similar. Only difference is, as seniors in hs, Sam Bruce is a more polished route runner.

No doubt on everything you said. I was just referring to the Austin didnt have elite speed comments

 

[bobbydigius]

Wait until he sees the sh:t show UF puts on the field, it will make ours not look as bad

Then he will just go to FSU....

I was confused by the Austin comparisons as well... Austin ran a 4.3 at the combine... That's elite speed...

 

[Rellyrell]

I kept telling all the Golden fans on here that Swag 16 will become Sag 16 if Golden is retained. Why does anyone keep falling for the banana in the tail pipe bit from this guy. How often have we started off in the top 3, pre-season, at the beginning of the year and then as time goes by, we drop down in the rankings? We all knew once Jordan flipped to UF, Bruce was following. They were a packaged deal. And do you blame them? Have you seen how Golden has wrecked this program? 9-36 against opponents who had less than 5 wins on the season, 16-16 against the ACC....really?

if treon ends up transferring cuz grier does well watch he's gonna kill it somewhere like louisville or auburn

Petrino wouldn't want him and auburn would get a better qb than him every cycle if they wanted.....nothin I seen from Harris tells me he's a special qb. Can he run? Absolutely pass? Barely lol

He ran 4.47 stop watch in hs, and didn't get any bigger in college. Was the same size through out all of HS. 4.3 in the 40 doesn't always correlate with a fast 100 (long speed). I used to train a hs kid that ran the fastest 40 in the country when he was a senior running a 4.31, but he couldn't break 10.9 in the 100. Kid had the fastest first 20 in the NFL Super Regional combine.

Overall, Austin's a little faster than bruce. On the field, they're (Including Warrick) the same type of player IMO. They get closed on by people with elite long speed.

This guy^^^failed his most recent drug test. How about Horseteef 20 commits this year. 17 of them 3* or lower.

Yea but a 4.3 is elite speed on the football field...

 

[lauderdaleballer]

And I think Bruce maybe a bit better wide out than Austin... I think Bruce can run more routes... Austin killed those shuttle passes for long gains but I think Bruce can run any route...

 

[Barboni]

Check out bruce taking a short pass for a long TD against Don Bosco Prep. One of the only big plays for STA in that game.

Bruce better be at this point. He's had coaching from Kevin Beard and Chris Carter. His uncle is Isaac Bruce lol.

Great point ^^^^
