I don't know what you're talking about, Golden said there were no good O Lineman down here, so his line must not have been that good.

LOL That boy is average..If he starts here kill me

Boi stop, that kid ain't never been average a day in his life. Kid been winning ships since he was a jit and no one ever left a game watching him saying he's average

RB on the #1 team in the state of Florida of the last 3 years..... Film dont lie mane. YOu cant be small and slow... Hopefully he will be a lil stronger then yearby

lol so what you saying he didn't play a role in why that team was the #1 team in the state the last two years? Also they could have anyone they wanted at RB but no one wanted to come bang with him at the position just like no one wanted to bang when he was leading Northside to ships or at SLV. Yeah he's really small and slow smh. Everyone can't have Dalvin top end speed but he has good acceleration in first five yards and can get around the corner when needed and is able to run through tackles.

You know who else was around 5'10, 185lb, and running a 4.6 coming out of HS and played in a spread off??? Probably the best sfl HS rb ever or atleast the last 30 years. Frank wasn't a blazer at all. He had good balance and body control (like Mark), excellent vision and instincts (like Mark) and knew how to break and run through arm tackles (like Mark). Most importantly just like Frank he has a frame that will allow him to properly become a 200+ lb back something Duke and Joe frames don't allow them to do. That's why Duke looks like a **** Dorito who doesn't take leg days serious. Mark doesn't and won't have those problems. He has solid upper body and thick hammys that give him the leg strength needed to break tackles (something Joe doesn't do well).

I know you got this thing that anyone who decides to play for these losers must be a loser too, but this kid ain't that. There's reason just about every scouting service has him listed above Scarlett in their rankings even though he could still be a Hs Jr if he followed the sfl motto of graduating HS a year behind their correct class like many of the RBs everyone on this site salivates over including Scarlett. People need to stop thinking that if you're not a sprint champion you can't still be really effective in what you do.

You make valid points kudos.. You are right does Walton have a better frame then DUke and Yearby? Yes he does definitely he does. I will argue That DUke looks like a Dorito your totally wrong on that. At the same time don't you dare compare Walton to Gore. i almost spit up laughing. I think Walton can be a solid back and hopefully he exceeds expectations. But he is not as talented as those other guys( explosion,change of direction) ..Is he more talented than Yearby? I dont think so, but that remaains to be seen. By the way there has been plenty of running backs with high rankings but it dont mean nothing I know what the eye test shows me. I think Walton is better then Eduardo Clemente, but he is the same type of running back he was. Walton just doesnt have that explosion through the hole mane, no disrespect but it is what it is..... Doesnt mean he cant be good for us he is just not that first round pick talent that we all crave for...Chicks dig the long ball mane..In a perfect world he would be our Giovanni Bernard but he is not as talented as him.

So why did blustein (Knows Talent when he sees it) compare him as a little bit of portis and duke? I assume you're opinion is more accurate than his?

This kills me, already being negative about a recruit that wants to be here and will do whatever it takes to succeed. unbelievable.

Bruh its not about being negative its about being a realist.....SAme thing with Charlie Jones back in the day..... I remember being a youngin and thinking this boy is a 5 star? No way...He was good but he aint great.. Doesnt mean I didnt root for Charlie Jones every saturday and doesnt mean i wont root for mark Walton every saturday!!!

 

[bshaw28]

Walton and Yearby are similar in that they're good, but not great RB's. They have some great attributes, but aren't the full package that Collins/Michel/Cook/Scarlett are. It sucks, because I want to be more excited about them, but the guys we missed out on are just on another level.

Walton is more compact and stoutly built. He'll be much better breaking tackles. Yearby is shiftier and better at avoiding tackles, but he can't break them.

Both are limited by their size and speed. Neither can break away.

Walton's a better fit here to take the pounding, where I think Yearby would look much better in a spread offense that gets him in the open field more. I don't think Yearby is the right fit for this offense.

That said - Gus and Yearby rotated pretty evenly last year, and I'd expect the same this year, with Walton in the mix but running 3rd. I'd actually expect Gus to start. How physically developed Walton is coming in a year early will probably determine his PT.

 

[L A M P]

He reminds me of the kind of back that would kill it in that Wisconsin system. Sadly I expect us to misuse him until hopefully we bring in another staff who will implement a complimentary running game/blocking scheme.

I didn't say he was Frank, ain't no **** body Frank. Not Duke, Not Dalvin, not Sony. None of them are because Frank had something that you couldn't measure at the Opening. He had a drive and will to never be stopped and I'm sure a lot of that had to do with what was going on at home. What I did say is he had many of the same attributes Frank had that you are completely ignoring because to you he's just small and slow smh. Good thing I'm not a chic because I understand you don't have to be Giancarlo Stanton to hit the long ball, McCutchen does just fine. Is he more talented the yearby, maybe bec he's a different type of runner than Yearby that maybe more effective to what Miami actually needs from a RB. Yearby relies on quick feet and constantly jump cutting and changing directing in order to make people miss, however when people get there hands on him he goes down and that's been a knock on him going back Yearby to his optimist days. That's not Walton game he has enough wiggle to be a slippery runner who set defenders up because of his balance to be able to run through arm tackles. Peoples biggest complaint against Yearby last year was he constantly gets tripped up. That's not happening to Walton. You constantly calling him OT 2.0 is as asinine as it would be for me to call him Frank 2.0. Don't worry he small, slow, and lacks explosion yet college coaches, scouts, and people that have seen him face think he a lot more than an average RB. It's cool to be the contrarian so I'll let you do you then and I'll just move on.

 

[bxcanesbomber]

Walton is gonna beast just watch!

 

[bxcanesbomber]

lol @ people thinking walton is not fast enough

walton is 2x the back that big stiff scarlett has...lets see what big stiff does without his offensive lineman from st.aquinas.

Scarlett gonna take that sec beating

But im saying though, Is you're opinion more valuable than blu's? I think not. Guy has always been dead on players and how they will project in college.

Blustein says he's a mixture of Portis and Duke. Sounds pretty average

You forgot that Yearby was on a rocket team that won a ship right?

Yearby was a better high school RB then Walton and thats not arguable... Yearby get e lil more stength and weight, HE will always be better then Walton... Hes not the homerun hitter but Yearby has explosion that Walton does not..neither of them are fast

Contrarian? Cmon mane Ive been on these boards going on 7-8 years.. I speak the truth as I see it. I've been in "barbershops" in the city where people argue about how good Walton is..... people on both sides of the fence mane this is nothing new... So we can agree to disagree.. I agree with you totally that Waltons strength is his balance and his ability to set people up run through arm tackles and show a little wigggle... He also has great hands.....However when I saw Gore, Duke, Bobby Washington, Alex COllins, Sony (pre injury), Dalvin, **** even Yearby shined and looked special in high school. Walton just never looked special to me. I guess average is too harsh, I think he can be solid to good RB for us..

 

[ADELPHI]

Anybody know if Rasul passes the eye test? Heard he has a big frame and is already at 200lbs.

 

[canecat]

Walton and Yearby are similar in that they're good, but not great RB's. They have some great attributes, but aren't the full package that Collins/Michel/Cook/Scarlett are. It sucks, because I want to be more excited about them, but the guys we missed out on are just on another level.

Walton is more compact and stoutly built. He'll be much better breaking tackles. Yearby is shiftier and better at avoiding tackles, but he can't break them.

Both are limited by their size and speed. Neither can break away.

Walton's a better fit here to take the pounding, where I think Yearby would look much better in a spread offense that gets him in the open field more. I don't think Yearby is the right fit for this offense.

That said - Gus and Yearby rotated pretty evenly last year, and I'd expect the same this year, with Walton in the mix but running 3rd. I'd actually expect Gus to start. How physically developed Walton is coming in a year early will probably determine his PT.

LOL Yearby is better then Michel and no one can tell me different. I think he is just as good as Collins and Scarlett as well. Cook will be the best RB in college next year . Yearby is so **** good i am fine with Duke being gone . Walton is on Scarlett's level as well. The point is with Yearby , Walton, Gus and Grey we are **** loaded at RB.

This is a quality problem. Most schools would kill to have the stable of backs that we do. Two top 10 rbs two years in a row.

Did you see what a beast Nick Chubb was for Georgia this year? Michel was ahead of him on Georgia's depth chart before he got hurt. Meanwhile Yearby couldn't beat out Gus Edwards on the depth chart. It's just two different levels of talent. Yearby is no Michel, and Walton is no Scarlett. Both are good RB's, but it just is what it is.

 

[PalmBeachCane]

All of you have to remember Mark Walton reclassified, he's coming to college a year early. Most high school players develop a lot from junior year to their senior year, let the kid grow. This will be a runningback by commite approach, and a **** good one for our new coach.
