Which means what?


Meaning a guy who wanted to come here but we slowplayed or didn't take because we wanted the BBD(Bigger and Better Deal) and ended up getting neither.

At least thats what I think he means

I hope you don't think he's the same level of player as Michael.

I was looking at the video posted on ESPNU 150 of Storm Johnson. I like his downfield presence.

Scouts, Inc. has Seastrunk ranked 20, Johnson 38, but is there really that much of a difference? There are no other RB ranked between them, and the ranking is very subjective.

Storm Johnson (per Scouts, Inc.)
Position rank RB # 6
Height 5'11"
Weight 210 lbs.
Vertical Jump 32.9"
40-yd dash 4.54
20-yd shuttle 4.26
Power ball throw 35'

Storm Johnson (per Rivals)
Ht: 6-foot-1
Wt: 217 lbs
Forty: 4.5 secs
Bench max: 370 pounds
Squat max: 490 pounds
Shuttle: 4.23 secs
GPA: 3.2
ACT: 20

Somebody doesn't know how to measure height (6'1" vs 5'11" ??)


Lache Seastrunk (per Scouts, Inc.)
Position rank RB # 5
Height 5'11"
Weight 190 lbs.

Lache Seastrunk (per Rivals)
Ht: 5-foot-11
Wt: 192 lbs
Forty: 4.5 secs
Bench max: 250 pounds
Squat max: 500 pounds
Vertical: 35 inches

Rivals has Johnson a 4 star, Seastrunk a 5 star. Scout has them both a 4 star, same grade of 83.

Seastrunk may be better but cripes, can we afford to pass on this guy?

I don't see how it's the same. We have a big back in Ware. We still haven't lost out on Lache so Christine deal isn't exactly a failure yet. Also Christine has yet to do anything in college so we don't know if it was a big loss or not.

Bascially Scouts Inc is the only service that has Storm anywhere near that, and their current 150 list is pretty suspect. Both Scout and Rivals have Lache in the national top 10, and Ware is rated noticeably higher than Storm in both services.
