BOL Round Table

Good stuff man. What do you project to be his size by the time he's a junior? His speed/quickness/vision may get him into the top 15-20, but he'll need the prototype RB size (5'11 - 200lbs), IMO, to be considered for the #1 slot. Hopefully he won't hit a 5-7 inch growth spurt like Anthony Davis did :)

Edit: I just watched the video.........that has to be junior varsity competition!! holy cow, haha. Those guys are tiny. For what it's worth though, he does have "effortless" speed, which is a great sign of balance/agility.

Man that kid is fast, what grade is he in ?

I love this kid as well...and have heard is he is very good football player. BUT,the track coach in me honestly hopes that I don't see him anywhere near a college football field! This kid has the potential to be for USA Track & Field what Usain Bolt is for Jamaica. He is already like a cult figure in youth track and field circles. And for those of you that think I might be exaggerating, you just need to go and research his times. He holds age group WORLD RECORDS in the 100M, 200M and 400M. There is not a faster freshman in the country....period. Just some of this times from just this past summer season as a 14 year old...he won't actually turn 15 until July even though he is a freshman in highschool.

100M - 10.73
200M - 21.81
400M - 48.27

The attached link contains the age group World Records...notice how many times Bryce Love's name shows up.

Fast kid. Looks like they ran the same play over and over....wr sweep to the right.

Kid that finished in 2nd place in this video actually won the 400m National Championship later on during the Summer of 2011 as Love injured his hip and his dad only allowed him to run in the Finals of the 200m and scratched him from the 100m and 400m Finals.

Notice how bad Love beats the National Champ.

***Fast forward to 2:45 as the race begins at about 2:49 mark****

Hard to project his size by that time. If I had to guess, I'd say 6'0", 205-210 based on his current size and the size of his older brother. Optimal size for a RB is actually 5'9", 205-215. So hopefully he doesn't get too tall.

I played against Fred Beasley way back in 1990 when I was in 9th grade and Fred was in the 8th. I mention Beasley because he was an Alabama phenom in the early 1990s as he was a Parade All-American and led Robert E Lee to State Championships in 1991 & 1992. Actually, Fred was 1 month older than me and should have been a 9th grader at the time. Fred was about 5'9", 165....about the same size as Bryce at that time. Beasley was a power back and was not nearly as fast as Love. Beasley was about 6'0", 215 as a freshmen in college.

LOL....I like.

Just a couple quick points on Bryce that I've found out this afternoon:

-He was a young 9th grader this season having turned 14 during the Summer. Hence, "probably" why his dad wanted him to play Jr. Varsity this season
-He did play in 4 Varsity Games this season and had 14 carries for 177 yards (12.6 yards per carry) with 3 TDs in those games
-His Junior Varsity team played ONLY 6 games and went 6-0. They had 1 close game, a 50-48 win. All the other games were major blowouts (ie. 56-16, 36-8, 42-6, etc)
-In 6 games Bryce had over 1,500 yards rushing. So he averaged more than 250 yards per game rushing. I know it's Junior Varsity but he basically averaged 200 yards rushing by halftime.
-The Wake Forest-Rolesville Varsity went 11-3 and from what I've gathered today, many fans were "upset" that Bryce didn't play with the Varsity all season as I've heard that he was dominant in his brief chances on the varsity this season.

***I honestly think this kid could end up being 1 of if not the greatest athletes ever. I know a lot of "billing" but this kid is the fastest person EVER at his age and he is strong and will probably be 6'0", 200-205 by his 12th grade year (based on his dad's and older brother's size)

I could be wrong but I started a similar thread on BOL in December of 2010 about Robert Nkemdiche and only 3-4 people paid it any mind and replied to the thread.

The kid runs sub 22 200m at 13 years old?

He'll never see the football field. He'll be the next Usian Bolt. And No one should or could blame him.

Thats ungodly speed at 13.

Bryce Love. Remember the name it sounds like.
