BOL Round Table

I think it's crazy neither one of these guys are playing in an all star game this year

I know 2 guys on this board that are in full support (g)

This thread is in BBD's wheelhouse. Where you at BBD?

I agree with this post. Based on highlight film
only (which can be deceiving), Jones looks like the best running back in the country. His combination of power, speed, and elusiveness is impressive!

LOL.....I've added my in-depth sentiments in the "Camp Nuggets from Monday" thread.

Jones is the best high school RB I've EVER seen in person. Recruiting analysts get caught up in this "prototypical" size stuff....when in fact what they "consider prototypical" is actually not based on college and NFL performance.

Personally, I kinda like Jones being underrated. Tyren's dad is "the real deal" when it comes to preparing athletes for excellence. See Tyren as well as his little sister that holds 5 Age Group "World Records" in track. His dad also has a recent NFL Hall of Fame Inductee RB (this RB guy was a beast in college and the NFL and Tyren's style is actually similar as both were All-Purpose guys that could go in the passing game like a Flanker and then carry the rock 30x in a game) to consult if he ever needs to do so....which he really doesn't as the man flat-out is great at preparing athletes.

I think the Bama Coaching Staff could probably attest to Tyren's preparation per his camp performance. He's nasty.........

There is NOT a RB in this 2013 class better than Tyren Jones........How you can run for 2,400 yards and 33 TDs and led your team to a 14-0 record in a Georgia AAAAA Class that had 12 teams ranked in a National 100 Poll and not be more highly ranked is laughable. Tyren also played 3 games last year against 5 star ranked defensive lineman.

****Tyren hasn't attended the SPARQ and Nike NFTC Camps nor the camps run by the various recruiting organizations....Not a coincidence that RBs that have are getting a ratings bump. I mean seriously, at age 37 I can "appear" to be a 5 star in a shorts and t-shirt....but on the football field in pads.........man I'm too old to be taking hits. My point is I know a plethora of 5 star guys in shorts that don't back it up on the field****

They could be...unless you are playing in the top classification in the nation.

cant wait to see Walton @McEachern the second game of the year over here in Cobb!

Game is at McEachern and they have probably the best high school stadium in the state. I attended the Hillgrove vs McEachern Game in 2011 and it was "off da chain".

Heat3x has a few of his track athletes that play for McEachern, 1 at QB (12th grader) and 1 at RB (10th grader) that are brothers.

They actually participated in the SPARQ Combine in Miami in March 2012 (don't believe in evaluating players via this method but it gives you an idea of their overall athleticism)

12th Grader McEachern-QB
2nd out of 1171 in overall SPARQ Score
4th fastest out of 1171 in 40 yard dash

10th Grader McEachern- RB
7th out of 1171 in overall SPARQ Score
2nd fastest out of 1171 in 40 yard dash

Again, these 2 kids are brothers. McEachern plays Grayson at the Corky Kell Classic the week before this game.

By body type, and jOnes has great vision and a great burst of speed at the line , and can catch the ball out the back field just like Ingram. Tenpenny a freak he's fast, strong and is really good at pass blocking and catching out of the back field just like TRich. Both are great and will be great at Bama. But I prefer tenpenny just like you prefer jones, but there talents is top in the country no doubt.

This is sort of like comparing Superfriends, or a Porsche vs a Corvette, or cookie dough vs Oreo ... you can't make a bad decision.
