Think Bama makes the list, along with OSU & ND. Going to be pretty difficult to beat out those schools and hoping his relationship with Coach Smith and chance to be another star RB at the Cuse works in our favor. #44
Ill give yo my no inside knowledge nothing but twitter following read what he has said in interviews roster analysis. I think Bama is out of the top six...one he has said he has a desire to be able to play early. Bama is pretty stacked with young rbs...and talented ones to boot. They have 6 kids playing running back below jr year. RW isnt impressed with the flash and big name coach and school.
6. I believe will be ohio. The recent success is attractive and they have a good program. He seems to like the coaches there alot. Unfortunately for Ohio They have already taken commits from 2 really good kids for 16 and they have a really talented kid the signed in 15 plus 5 kids below JR year already on roster. Thats alot of young talent on board.
5. Michigan the lure of Harbaugh will be again a non factor. Hopefully this guy has one of his traditional melt downs soon. His NFL team hated him and hopefully schools start using that against him. They do have 6 FR and SO rb on roster but took none in 15 and havent done much in 16 yet. This school in my opinion will have a tough time selling the family at home atmosphere RW is looking for. They have already seen one coach thrown out of a recruits house and had a lot of trouble closing or picking up new recruits even with the Harbaugh factor...I think most kids are seeing this guy for the lunatic he is.
4. Notre Dame the academics/football combo is tough here. After all history is pretty strong at ND and no one ever looked down on their degree. The family atmosphere is going to be there most of their players talk up the family stuff. That leaves roster they only have 4 rbs below jr year so they were a little thin...but they took 2 real big names in 15 for the position. I think that will hurt them.
3.UNC will be tough... after all they are the home town team. playing in front of friends a family is always a big lure. They only have 3 young kids on roster but they did take a big name kid in 15. The roster would be a good one for him to walk on to. Id say academics are what will hurt them. I had met a kid from NC i met on a visit to BC. I asked him why he came up to BC when he had all the great football schools near home. He said he wanted a real degree when he graduated. he said the home schools degrees are looked at as not worth as much when you are an athlete. The recent scandal will hurt them as school is important to him and his family...plus who knows what the ncaa will hand down for a punishment...the chance of a bowl loss or scholie reduction could hurt them here
2. TCU this is the big problem as I see it. He had a great time on his trip there and likes the coaches. The roster is young at this position and they do have 6 kids below jr year as backs. This will hurt them a little but they are pretty good academically speaking and they are on the rise to the national football stage. Hopefully he doesnt want to play in the heat down there? I went on a visit to this school with Shy during the Sparq week. Nice stadium but their practice field was a disaster. I dont know if they have plans to fix that but
wasnt a fan of the facilities at all. It was hot as hell there i would have rather played in Miami and I thought that was hot. It would be a hell of a hike for family to go watch. Like I said they will be tough.
1. That leaves us. Great academics, family atmosphere no one else can rival, new indoor facilities, loves the coaches. Our roster is thin on top with the older kids moving to receiving spots. The younger backs will have a hard time competing for the starting spot if you throw RW in the mix. he has size and weight advantages already and is a year younger. He has a speed advantage over the backs we have now. He has power speed and can cut...like he said himself he is a complete back. Aside from a medical problem a few years back he has been injury free. He works hard and the coaches here love that. He potentially could come here as a true freshman starter. He loves the legend of 44 as we all know. This school could be exactly what he described to a T. If they could get him the 44 I would say we would put so much distance between us and the other schools it would be all over. Here is to hoping
Again just speculation
