Can't really compare the son of an NFL player to a kid from Podunk, LA.

Slade's ranking has more to do with baseball and not being able to go to camps than the color of his skin.


That's pretty much what I was getting at. McCaffrey legit warranted a high ranking. Part was his last name, and part was his athleticism. It's extremely rare to find that athleticism in a white RB (usually it would be a slot receiver type like Trey Quinn, Ryan Switzer, or Ryan Swope) , but Bolden seems like he shares those same traits. Of course we don't know what he'll do at the next level, but if his HT/WT is close to his 247 profile, and he shows out at some camps and events this summer, I don't see why he wouldn't finish at least as a 4 star recruit.

He's a bit over 5'11", closer to 6'. Weight varies during baseball season, not sure what he's sitting at right now.
