Looks small and not that fast for his size
October 28th, 2018 at 6:40 PM ^
Yea, he looks so slow effortlessly running past everyone on the field.
October 28th, 2018 at 7:40 PM ^
He doesn't have blazing speed but in a weird way I see a mixture of Mike Hart and Eddie McDoom. That's good enough for me.
October 28th, 2018 at 11:09 PM ^
Nothing is certain in life except death, taxes, and someone comparing a Michigan RB recruit to Mike Hart.

You and I must be watching two different Hudl tapes. I am watching a back blow past guys, glide in the open and never get caught. Not sure about height, but great backs come in all sizes.

Is freelion the new Bluey account?
Nothing sadder than a moron sh!tting on teenagers. I wouldn’t bother responding next time- you just encourage them.

Maizen never looked at tape. He just looked at stars. He would have been happy with Gray because he's a four-star.
October 28th, 2018 at 8:34 PM ^
Not defending maizen but highlights aren't "tape" and even if it were no one here is qualified to analyze such. I have no problem with people putting stock into what the recruiting analysts think.
October 29th, 2018 at 12:45 AM ^
Thanks Maizen
October 29th, 2018 at 7:32 AM ^
Yes, they are limited to highlights, but one can get a good sense of critiquing skills based off of highlight films. How do you think Ronnie Bell was offered? They saw his highlights and then set up more tape review and a visit to him.
Without question, a majority of fans have no clue, if they never played or are just looking for the play to unfold, how to analyze the player—we are not Harbaugh—but plenty of us can critique play decently off highlights. For one, decision making. Another, fundamentals in how they play.

Watching this video is like looking at Christmas presents I won't be getting. By his comments in the last couple of days, I cannot imagine he stays in this class. Tennessee seems to be the landing spot now.
October 28th, 2018 at 6:06 PM ^
Curious as to the level of competition he faces.
Many of those runs featured a guy looking at Gray coming towards him and throwing out a fat NOPE not even gonna try (e.g. 1:10 in the video).
Plus the amount of not squared up arm tackling is ridiculous.
Not saying he isn't amazing - just his competition seems way below his level.

In the TSSAA, Luasanne is Division II AA, which is classified "middle sized". Last year and this year, Lausanne went up against Whitehaven, which is 6A, the largest division for schools that do not offer need based financial aid, fwiw. Whitehaven is one of the top programs and Luasanne beat them back to back in '17 and '18, in no small part due to Mr. Gray.

The kid is outstanding at reading and setting up his blocks and he is simply incredible at running through arm tackles and traffic. He has exceptional body-lean in the hole that will be beneficial no matter the level of competition. He is more quick than fast and that lack of a second gear will reduce his production at the next level-Michigan's S&C program may be able to build that next gear for him.
Charbonnet, Gray and Jackson have been touted as the best RB recruiting group in this class. The ceiling does appear to be very high. Rumler and Jones will surely be a good place to start with their o-line and the other three kids hold good promise-plus likely another OT in the class...Ruiz, Mayfield, Stueber, Hayes, Filiaga, Honigford...This is going to be an elite and powerful group going forward.
October 28th, 2018 at 10:34 PM ^
My wife told me I have good body lean in the hole as well.
October 29th, 2018 at 1:25 AM ^
....those were the days.
October 28th, 2018 at 6:09 PM ^
You trying to give me the sads or what
October 28th, 2018 at 6:25 PM ^
He gone
October 28th, 2018 at 7:00 PM ^
You do not know...here, you hand-wringers are more juvenile than these kids. The ebb and flow of what pushes these kids one way or the other-there is no rhyme nor reason to it. Better than a 50/50 chance he stays.
October 28th, 2018 at 7:22 PM ^
Carlos is just trying to look like an insider.
Dude, we get it. You and all of us heard the same rumors.
October 28th, 2018 at 6:53 PM ^
You guys do realize he is looking for a better situation?
October 28th, 2018 at 7:13 PM ^
better financial situation? please explain how playing for a middling SEC team is better than joining a top 10 team
October 28th, 2018 at 7:29 PM ^
this is one of those "Michigan fans aren't happy if they aren't happy" thing. Also if this is what those fans are going to say then they need to also stop saying that "winning is going to change things" because the team is now winning and looking good doing so. there is nothing that will make some fans happy no matter what it is.
October 28th, 2018 at 7:59 PM ^
Everybody sees what Kirby Smart is doing with the best talent that money can buy - why wouldn’t Pruitt replicate that model?
October 28th, 2018 at 8:17 PM ^
Playing time.
October 28th, 2018 at 8:36 PM ^
UM's depth chart at RB is wide open next year.
October 28th, 2018 at 11:15 PM ^
Yes it is. However, I believe the candidates coming back a year older, wiser, stronger and faster will acquit themselves very well. I predict Samuels to be the break-out player. Turner and Wilson will be excellent back-ups. Charbonnet may well be a star...the kid's a football player.
October 28th, 2018 at 7:48 PM ^
Why would we not hold on to him? Best defense in the land, three awesome QB's lined up for the future, an offense that leads with the RUN, going to the playoffs, smashing PSU next weekend, only way he doesn't come is if we want someone better, it's honkening.
October 28th, 2018 at 8:35 PM ^
Because he's looking at schools closer to home.
October 28th, 2018 at 8:41 PM ^
Jay Harbaugh was out to watch his game on Friday and then tweeted out, What a night with a bunch of emojis, if that means anything.
October 28th, 2018 at 8:48 PM ^
other schools don't surf! Nor have the best defense year after year. It's honkening.
October 28th, 2018 at 8:42 PM ^
I think their cameraman might need to lighten up on his pre game.
