Like you said his are probably more impressive that most fullbacks cause Askew played a lot of tailback too. He and Perry split time at tailback.
He reminds me a little of Stanley Edwards. He had good speed for a fullback and could do some damage in the secondary.
For eveybody saying that we could have used a scholarship on another postion because we are tight on scholarships, look at USC (CA). They can only accept 15 commitments this year, and even so, they have a commitment for a FB. Not saying that we need to be just like them, but I'm just making a point that if a FB is an important part of your offense, then it is worth it to get a good FB.
I'm no expert on film, but it sure looked like this kid could play halfback to me. I wonder what the staff has in mind for him???
will have him #1 down the road. Trust the coaches. Liked Jarrod Bunch also ... check his HS stars.
Wierd that the #3 fb is a 2 star...Anyways, for someone I had never heard of he sure looks damn good. He has got to be one of the fastest FB's I've seen....
#3 FB in the country and not on the ESPN150 list???
F'in travesty.
Fullbacks usually do not get high RATINGS because they are very difficult to evaluate in high school and are not considered to be a "glamerous" position on the field. They don't need the stars anyway, they are still worhtwhile.
He's fast, hard to bring down, catches the ball, productive and has a sweet name. I don't care how many stars he gets, I like him. I bet he shows up to campus at least 20 pounds heavier.
As others have mentioned, UM has had a rich tradition at the FB position until just recently. I love that we're going back to this style of offense and will utilize FBs and TEs.
Welcome Sione!
is that another big Polynesian?
