If remember his high school stuff from around these parts is that he could dunk @ under 6. I believe he is going to be one of those strange types who does well in short area quickness and explosion drils at the combine, but won't translate that explosion into any more than an average 40 time. Not sure if that will disqualify him from being a usable pro though.
he'll be on a team on Sunday's for sure since he's the ideal 2nd-3rd string RB who will play all the specials and be usable in a variety of situations and is the type of guy that will want to play all the specials if not the starting RB. At worst he's a Snelling type, but there is more upside here
Seastrunk was 4th on the depth chart at Oregon, behind James, Barner, and frosh De'Anthony Thomas. Maybe he will put it together, but his star has definitely faded.
Come on now. Take the Red & Black glasses off. Look what Rogers (6'-3", 215 lbs) did mostly with Matt Simms (who is downright awful) and a true freshman QB this year playing double covered (due to Hunter's injury) all year. That would be 67 receptions for 1,040, 9 TDs, avg. 15.5 yards per catch. All this versus one of the toughest schedules in the country in a largely slanted defensive league (SEC). Justin Hunter is even better than Rogers, although different.
Rumor is he is off the team and transferring to either Ark State or WVU
The next Calvin Johnson.02
FYI....Outland winner Barrett Jones announced yesterday he's returning for his senior season. He's expected to move to C, allowing soph Cyrus Kouandjio to start at LT. This will give the line 95 starts and get them at an average of 6'5", 315 pounds.The D won't be as stout as this year, so Lacy may end getting more 4th quarter work than Richardson did this season. He could be in for a very big year statistically.
Lattimore, Dyer , Woods, Watkins, Barkley. 2013 has some potential. That is high praise on Watkins, one to keep a close eye on.
Watkins is a true frosh. Not eligible til 2014 draft. Keenan Allen (Cal) is the second WR next year.
I love Watkins. He's been called the 2nd Prime Time and he's legit!
not according to coach chizhttp://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2011/12/30/2670518/michael-dyer-transferring-arkansas-state-auburn
granted a release is a lot differnt than revoked. Dyer has shown enough on tape in 2 yrs at Auburn to prove he is a 1st rd talent. Arkansas State is not a bad place for him. Janoris Jenkings ( FLA CB played well there last yr and he will be be a 1st rd pick this yr) Plus, his OC at Auburn is now the head coach at Ark State.
Janoris Jenkins played for North Alabama last year.
Undisclosed violation of team rules is the reason for missing the bowl game. Guessing since they are washing their hands of a top tier talent, it was more than being late to a couple of philosophy classes.Edit: here is some linkage and a quote,
Watch this kid...... He has all the tools.. 6/6 220 lbs... fast.. amazing hands.... the next coming of Megatron....
This guy has the same scent of hype as AJ Green and Julio Jones did coming out...I'm excited. Go to wisconsin Dorial!!!
I can't wait man. Big wisconsin fan and my favorite part is following recruiting, more excited than I was for John Clay. I can't complain about Ball coming back next year, but I'm a little upset I have to wait another year for Gordon to play lol.Ball and Gordon are basically Mark ingram and Trent Richardson...just a crappy version without all the pro potential LOL
Damn...what the hell happend to him?? he looked amazing in high school...I guess Rivals can't always be dead on.
Kind of intended for this thread to be about players who are going to be eligible for next year's draft, so...
lol my bad...Back to Keenan AllenKind of intended for this thread to be about players who are going to be eligible for next year's draft, so...
Here are a few others that caught my eye this season.Isaiah Crowell RB - GeorgiaGiovanni Benard RB - North Carolina (Was a RFR this year so he's eligible after next season)De'Anthony Thomas RB/WR - OregonHerschel Sims RB - Oklahoma State (Didn't see the field much this year...ton of potential)Marqise Lee WR - USC (May be better than Robert Woods)Odell Beckham WR - LSU Malcolm Mitchell WR - Georgia
I used to like this class, but I'm not wild about it anymore. Arguably the top two prospects (Michael Dyer and Marcus Lattimore) have already seen their stock dip for varying reasons. Same with Knile Davis. I thought Lattimore and Davis were overrated even before their injuries, and I like them that much less now. I'm also not as high on Dyer as I used to be. Solid back, but he's no T-Rich. Not even close. There just aren't any obvious can't-miss talents in this group. My tentative rankings would look something like this:Matt BarkleyTyler BrayMichael DyerMarcus LattimoreGiovani BernardJames WhiteSpencer WareMontee BallKnile DavisCameron MarshallKeenan AllenRobert WoodsDa'Rick RogersThere's not a ton of separation in the RB group. Those guys all have various issues. Whoever responds the best in 2012 will have a pretty decent chance of contending for the RB1 spot. Lattimore and Davis need to prove they're back to 100%. Dyer might not be eligible for Arkansas State until next season after transfering. Bernard needs to add weight. Marshall needs to show that he has instincts and footwork to go along with his power and speed.
Robert Woods. Watkins not eligible until 2014 draft.
Keenan Allen would be my pick there. I'm a Pac-12 homer and I think he's a better pro prospect than Woods.
You would be wrong.....again.
I haven't watched a lot of Allen, but I find it hard to believe I could move anyone above Woods in the WR group for next year.
It's close. They're both stars in the making. Unless some clarity emerges at RB I may look at this class similarly as 2011. The top 2 players on my board being WR's. They're the only reason I'm not willing to move the 2013 #1 I currently hold. It's another owners and I think his team may struggle.
Says the guy who is constantly getting his behind handed to him in dynasty leagues. For someone that claims to know so much about prospects, it doesn't seem to show up in the leagues I'm in with you.ETA: Watch Blackmon bust compared to his hype.
ouch. blackmon is overrated as a pro prospect imo.
How many leagues am I in with you? One? Might want to double check my teams in HA1 and HA4. I did okay.
Let's see how we fare in this new one. I think you've got one of the weakest rosters in the league.Ha haHa
Actually you're in 3 leagues with me and I don't recall you ever winning in the two Hyper Active leagues (HA1 and HA3). I have a title in HA1 and a runner-up in HA3 and I won my division in both this year and I did win 3 dynasty leagues this year. I'm just saying, for someone who claims to know everything about prospects, it hasn't translated to your fantasy teams that I know of. Also, you have both Blackmon and Crabtree on your team in the league we just joined and I think you will regret that. I do like two of your WRs in Green and Nicks. My team is weak in current WRs (only Wallace so far in the draft), but I do have Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods coming up in the next 2 years. I like my RBs more than yours by a large margin and your QB (Schaub) isn't anything to write home about. Look, when you start posts with "Says the guy who just drank the Woods Kool-Aid", you're going to get a factual response in return.How many leagues am I in with you? One?
