InTheZone Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 What's even more interesting is the story above it. I saw the Miller RB from Greensburg CC play multiple times during his career due to a family member playing at a rival school. The kid is as fast as any running back I've ever seen, and ran for 344 on one of the "fastest" teams in PA, Aliquippa (home to Derrell Revis and former Zip Dionte Henry). At 215 with that kind of speed, he should've been a D1 RB. The only problem?? He's white. He doesn't fit the stereotype of a "fast" running back, so he gets overlooked. Unfortunately that happens all the time in college football. There was a certain Stanford RB from this past season who said no other school would give him a shot at RB because "they saw him more as a linebacker." Hmmm....I really wish Rob would've offered this kid, would've been a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can't say the only reason he wasn't offered a D1 scholarship is because he's white, it makes absolutely no difference. Mike Alsott was a white dude, same with Toby Gerhart. From what I saw he was a decent back, but not really good enough to go D1. Not enough size or speed, for a RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheZone Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4hIeZ0FcvQI guess people can judge for themselves, he looks pretty quick to me for nearly 220 pounds. I'm not sure how 220 means he doesn' have the size either?? 99% of D1 signees at RB this year will weigh less. Height for a running back is a non-factor, in fact I think being 5'8 is an advantage. The kid is big, fast, strong, and hits the holes hard. He's quick in the open field. He ran all through and past some of the top defensive talent in PA this season. He was the WPIAL Player of the Year. He should've been offered. I played in the MAC for 4 seasons and I can guarantee you this kid has the stuff to be a MAC star. I guess we'll never know. I'd look for him to tear D2 up ala Danny Woodhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
