With Les having ties to Ok. State and perhaps Barrys coach (If we are not), why wouldn't we be recruiting him?

imo he's not worth it... he's been playing in a small private school league, so no telling how good he really is

Worst excuse ever to not recruit someone. Michael Dyer comes to mind as well as OBJ, Tyson Jackson, Quinn Johnson, Stephen Ridley? Does the last name Manning ring a bell?

WTF?!?! He is Barry Sanders @#$%ing Jr. Have you seen his clips? There shouldn't even be an argument - he is worth it!

Now that doesn't mean we stand a chance, but he is still worth it.

He wasn't as of a few months ago, but no idea if anything has changed. High school kids change their mind more often than they change their underwear.

From the clips I've seen he runs exacly like his daddy its pretty incredible... I know his competition was shitty but how he runs is god-given talent from his dad, and has nothing to do with those high schoolers... He runs like he's on skates and he changes direction and accelerates eflfortlessly, he's clone of his dad just slightly taller and about 180 or so...

The apple didnt fall far from the tree this kid is legit

He's not "junior". The elder is Barry David Sanders and the younger is Barry James Sanders. Different middle names, thus he's not a "junior".

He goes to a small private school but mostly plays public schools.

I think he's a good solid 4* back but i don't see anything exceptionally special about him.He's got some moves but to be honest a lot of HS running backs and wrs have moves.The thing that matters is whether those moves translate to playing against bigger,faster, more athletic players.Definite take type of guy but i have my questions about whether he's a load guy or not.Don't really have to be these days though.Most teams use a rotation.His name will garner headlines but i don't think he's among the elite backs in this class.Need to see more from him.Just my opinion and i'm sure other will see differently.
