LF is pretty much a lock imo

I love how he doesn't give any hints on who is ahead though. I really think he'll keep leading Bama on just to

them at the UA game

What are some factors that will play out in your decision? "What school fits me best"

LF has fricking tree trunks for legs. I guess that's why he runs a sub 10.7 100m. Kicks it into 7th gear

Anyone know if any of other targets made any of the lists last night? I don't subscribe to Rivals because I hate them and I prefer Sonny and Shea over Tigerbait. Thanks to anyone that might know.

Seems like Rivals is trying to find a reason to push Joe Mixon to the #1 RB spot. Just curious as to what, if anything, they have to say about Leonard and how he performed yesterday. Kind of strange about Mixon considering the best west coast/Cali guys I know don't even think he's the best back in CA.

Doesn't matter. The last rankings (after the UA game) Leonard will be like 63rd in the country and after Roc commits to Bama he'll be #6.

fanva,

This type of event is geared towards passing and elusiveness. A running back with the ability to run over would-be tacklers will not be rewarded for that ability. But a running back with more of a slot back skillset is gonna show out (being defended by hapless linebackers in their setup). Think Lache Seastrunk over Jeremy Hill.

The same is true of linebackers. A big, physical MLB will not be rewarded for their ability to dominate at the point of attack. But a safety/OLB hybrid will have a chance to shine (with their expected ability to stick with RBs in pass coverage.

Thanks and I understand the skillset differences in events like this and that guys like Mixon will shine but they were hyping Mixon even before the event. Also LF has been pretty damn good as a receiver out of the backfield and has as much,if not better, speed and elusiveness as Mixon does. Just curious to see what they thought of his skillset yesterday.
