He’s real good.Iowa didn’t even offer this kid? They need a new scouting department apparently.

News flash, as impressive as it was, this wasn’t “great” by the standards of top high school running backs. Remember the AHS kid a few years back who put up immense numbers—then was never heard of again as a Cyclone walkon? Yeah, that.Iowa didn’t even offer this kid?

There’s a reason we offered him as a corner.

I thought he was pretty impressive. So many kids are recruited at certain positions and still change.Tell me you didn’t watch the game without telling me you didn't watch the game.
I don’t know if people realize he played every down on defense too, and Dowling didn’t throw to his side once.I thought he was pretty impressive. So many kids are recruited at certain positions and still change.
I get what you’re saying, but some kids just have “it”. Sama is an elite athlete. Will he be and all Big12 running back? No, probably not. All Big12 corner? Don’t bet against it.Nothing against Iowa HS FB but a ton of guys look all-world against even good teams and then turn out to be backups for Northwest Missouri State or whatever.
I sure hope this kid will be great but he could look like The Flash on the field against this level of talent and it still doesn't mean he's a sure thing.
He’d have to really beef up to be MR’s clone.Closer to an Ellis Hobbs clone.
Kinda.

Kind of a silly argument. Coaches get paid to judge talent and Coach Campbell and staff feel he has the talent to deserve a scholarship.News flash, as impressive as it was, this wasn’t “great” by the standards of top high school running backs.

Traditionally yes, but SEP has kind of overtaken them the past couple years.isn't dowling like some of the best HS football in iowa?
Now, here’s the “kind of silly” argument. Didn’t pay attention to what I actually said, did you?Kind of a silly argument. Coaches get paid to judge talent and Coach Campbell and staff feel he has the talent to deserve a scholarship.
Sama averaged nearly 10 yards a carry and scored 4 TD's. Those are solid stats whether he played HS FB in Iowa or Texas. Plus the kid has elite speed
I apologize, I replied to wrong post. Meant to reply to someone's post discounting Sama game/stat just because they were against IA HS competition.Now, here’s the “kind of silly” argument. Didn’t pay attention to what I actually said, did you?
So, as I said, there’s a reason they offered him as a corner.
Hint? It’s because they love him there.
Fair enough.I apologize, I replied to wrong post. Meant to reply to someone's post discounting Sama game/stat just because they were against IA HS competition.
