Seems to be a solid player in all the areas but not really outstanding in any. His hands and power stand out to me slightly. Nice frame, not overly quick or outstanding breakaway speed. Seems like we would have other offers out first then he would be later in the process if we lose out on others. Lower 3 star recruit in my mind.
Fair evaluation. I have similar thoughts. He is a solid prospect. The only thing I feel different about is that he is currently the 2nd ranked player in NYS according to scout. He has Virginia and Uconn offers. Should we give him a pending offer, based on him visiting the campus or camping? Because if he pulls the trigger on one of these teams now I can hear a bunch of guys saying here we go again losing out on NYS top recruits. I know we are gonna be in on some good RB prospects but it might be safe to give him a non commitable offer. I dont know
You give slight preference to NY kids since they are within close proximity and its the local team hence the liklihood of commiting. There are alot of variables involved here. How far down the board he is, liklihood of getting better recruits, how many RBs we want to take, What are the other RBs saying about us.
Good Points
Could be alot of reasons if in fact he hasn't been offered, I just counted 11 RB offers on the table just on this board. He looks like an athlete good enough to offer even at DB but might wanting to only play RB. He could be 12th on our list. Who knows. Just looked at Anthony Dubose from Newburgh NYS' other top RB and they look very similar. For me Dubose has alittle more burst but Forrest looks alittle more polished particularly out of the backfield. Both are about the same size too.
guessing its the same reason we don't have jr days. (which i still haven't figured out but people have reassured me it's ok because the coaches do no wrong)
you have a "major problem" with message board posters disagreeing with a coaching decision?
The "major problem" is with the assumption.
