You should do this but instead of telling us show two athletes anywhere from 1-5 stars and have us guess which one is higher. Just a thought great vid!
1stround knockouts that's true. But a majority of starting caliber running backs in the NFL are 5 ft 10 to 6 ft 1. That's considered the sweet height for a running back, any taller and teams are worried about you being able to stay low, and taking to much of a punishment through a physical play style. And anything shorter. They worry about fumbles, and injuries because you weigh nothing. Its a stereotype for sure. But every position has one. When looking at qbs. They typically want them 6 ft5 and taller so they can see over the o line and see the paasing lanes easier.
1stround knockouts appreciate the response. I fuck with football heavy. So I know most of the stereotypes around positions. But by no means do I know everything. I just love the game
Sharpe Life wait wait can you please do the kid from mater dei Nathan logoleo I feel as if he’s underrated he’s not a linebacker but I want you to watch and see his game
Castleberry definitely should be a 3 Star (high end) but keep in mind Leveon Bell was a 2 Star from Columbus. Not all paths are fair or equal but obviously some people have been wrong about guys
Trey also shared stats, while playing the top teams in the nation. It’s the same reason a kid from Bama would go in the first round even if he’s equal to a kid from like Rice. The school and who you play makes a impact.
Don’t know if it was mentioned but Trey sanders numbers are the way they are cause he splits carries with another 5 star rb Noah Cain (Edit) lol like two minutes later in the vid you mentioned Cain
TJ will most likely be redshirted this season at OU. He has Anderson, Sermon, and Brookes in front of him! I imagine due to the new redshirt rule though we will see him some the first 3 games.
Jordan Castleberry is a 2 star recruit. Just committed to Michigan. As a PWO. This kid is easily a 4 star recruit. Reminds me of Mike Hart. If he gets a chance this kid will be huge.
@Daniel II St. Ed's has been #1 in the nation in the past (Granted, before IMG existed). When playoffs come around, they play against St. Ignatius, Toledo Whitmer, St. Xavier who are all some of the top 50-100 high schools in the nation. I agree that Sanders may be a little bit lower, but he'd still be a high 4-star or 5-star.
I think the difference is not only size but competition as well. Trey Sanders was a backup to another top-ranked running back last year and also IMG travels every game and plays not just the top teams in the state, but in the country because they don't play in a league.
People used to wonder if Saint Edwards could beat the browns when I lived there. This also includes saint ignatius and Glanville. Ohio has some great high school football ☆
No D1 College Football team, even Alabama, would come close to beating the Browns. The size, speed and competitiveness is just on such another level it’s stupid. I’d honestly bet that Alabama couldn’t even beat a CFL team; it’s an entirely different stage of football. In college you have players within a 4 year age gap, but in the pro leagues you have 20 year differences
Ricco Baffa I'm from Ohio, and have you heard of the Perry panthers from massillon? I went there, and my freshman year we set a school record.. 0-10 lost every game by more than 14 points. sophomore year, we went I think 1-9 and were blown out of every single game. then all of a sudden, since my junior year until now(I'm 20 now, so about 4 years straight) they have won around 8 games a year, and have been to the state championship game 4 straight years.
AyeJohnson, you gotta know that in the 2017 season which was last season he shared with Tj Pledger but in the 2018 season which is coming up he will share with Noah Cain.
I’ve personally watched Castleberry play and it really showed me that rankings and how many stars you have means nothing. Jordan can ball out. He’s unbelievable
Height!! St. Eds is one of the premiere programs in Ohio!! So he is definitely getting exposure!! Recruiters don't always get it right!! Victor Oladipo is a great example!
Castleberry played on the same little league team I use to coach (glenville titans). The titans produced some incredible talent to go D1 and to the NFL! One team I coach produced 9 D1 players and 4 D2 player.
Sharpe life, u have to take into exception that castleberry is the whole teams offense while img has a more balanced approach against the top teams in the country
I played with a kid named Nash Hutmacher last year who’s a 3 Star offensive tackle as a Sophomore but it’s purely competition based. Being from South Dakota, the competition level is lower but he’s the number 2 ranked heavyweight in the nation and is an absolute beast in the weight room. 6’4, 300 ish
Dee Wright your cousin is a beast hopefully Eds will come down to Cincy to play this year I know they come here to play X or Moeller every other year I want to see him play in person
The difference stands out to me. one school runs a much more advanced offence than the other, which leads to the one being ready and more prepared for the college level and able to make an immediate impact.
The gap from high school to college is so enormous. Guys who never see the field in the FBS were probably dominant in high school. I played against a 4 star RB in high school. He seemed untouchable and was so solid that I thought I broke something trying to arm tackle him (that's all I could manage). Wound up warming the bench at Ole Miss. Really eye opening for me.
But being listed at 5'7 or 5'8 doesn't help for any position. Jaylen Waddle and Christian Kirk were both 5 Stars listed under 6'0 as receivers (slot), so size is compensated with elite quickness and route running. Fournette, Scarbrough, Najee Harris, Trey Sanders, Zamir White, Lorenzo Lingard, Stephen Carr, Joe Mixon, Soso Jamabo & Jacques Patrick were all recent 5-Stars and are listed 6'0 or over, so yes, the mean height for a 5-Star running back is 6 foot or above.
Another example was the guy I went to HS with set the alarm bells with Ichiro sized RB (5'9", 170) with 4.3-4.4 speed. The weight scared the scouts off more and he went JuCo before an injury ended his career not surprisingly due to concerns of his frame.
He’s already graduated but I recommend Demarcus Williams from Jackson HS, AL. He’s started at WR for a couple games this past year at Minnesota as a true freshman. He’s at Tennessee Chattanooga now. Best scrambling QB I’ve ever seen.
War Damn Eagle..You know what I have nothing bad to say about this video I appreciate the fact that you let both these guys get more exposure.. and as an Auburn fan I will be please to have either 1 of these guys in backfield.. running back University..War Damn Eagle
The team that they are playing against at 6:23 is Indianapolis Cathedral. And to see him pick apart one of the most dominant teams in Indiana is crazy.
Ohio guy here, st eds is also known for having an elite level o-line. Kid is obviously gifted but I guarantee almost all of his blockers have good scholarship offers too. Just a few years ago they had an o-line that was bigger, on average, than the Cleveland browns.......and they all had d1 or d2 offers
I feel like if he truly is worth a 4 Star, he can go to a smaller conference D1 school and just shit on everyone and then transfer to a higher level school
The one star also gets all of the carries for his team because he is the only back while the 5 star splits carries. And the size Means a lot in the next level
Players are ranked because they go to camps and compete against each other and participate in combines...they don’t rate you on your play because there are too many high school students...
IMG isn't a Florida high school. It's a private academy that recruits players from all over the country. When IMG played Mater Dei the size and speed superiority of the IMG players was clear from the start. The word going around the stadium was that several of the IMG players were over 20. In the end Mater Dei won anyway due to a never-say-die attitude, some really good adjustments, and some trick plays.
As a high school football player that’s reaching for the next level for real, those 4 inches mean the world to recruiters and coaches, in this game everything is basically a beauty contest!!!,
I'm subscribing before I even watch just because you're highlighting guys who probably wouldn't get as much exposure. I guarantee somebody gettin an opportunity they wouldn't have otherwise gotten just off the strength of your channel. Good shit bro.
The difference in the plays between Jordan and Trey when they had to break through the team, trey went from the back, pushing the opposing team when Jordan was pulling the opponent, which is harder
They had Kareem Hunt the same way, look at him now, I'm from the Cleveland area, and we have a lot of slept on talent around here and the state of Ohio,
K E N N Y no they don’t but if you check in pretty sure trey sanders is a commit for a d-1 team but img plays mater dei soo.... that should be a good game
K E N N Y oh maybe he plays for a different team because I looked up the 2018 varsity max preps schedule for IMG and there was no St Edwards are you sure he plays for the one in Ohio because that’s where it is if so have a nice day
Y'all better respect the state of Ohio. We start playing Football early as 5 to 6 y/o and play against top talent from day one. I know I started when I was 6
Everyone saying that trey got the 5 stars as a recruit but only finished his junior season with 706 yards rushing and only 10 TDs but on the other side you got Jordan the 1 star recruit he finished his junior season with 2,000 something yards rushing with 29 TDs.
St. Ed's is always one of the top teams in cleveland area and the state! Very suprising he is rated so low.. love watching them against teams like mentor and st. Ignatius
Castleberry is a low star recruit only because of height, but he reminds me of Darren Sproles in high school. Fast, small and in high school could truck.
It's one thing to split carries with another top running back vs being the back to get the majority of carries. That's what makes one a 5 and another a 2. Plus the competition with IMG is much tougher compared to in state Ohio.
Thing is, Trey has an insanely high yards per carry and he doesn’t run as much because IMG has two more running backs that are both high rates including 5 star Noah Cain
LeVeon Bell was a 2 star recruit when he came to Michigan State. Antonio Brown didn’t even receive any stars when he signed at Central Michigan. Look at them now! Keep your collective heads up low star recruits, the future is bright.
