I took it to be a comparison between talent, ability, and pro potential. In that respect, it’s a very good comparison.
Yes. Meant ability. Not intending any slight to Carney or Clawson. Walker just looks like he is something really special.
The kid who signed from East Forsyth HS (same HS CBS played) - between the tackles runner or more of a speed/shifty back?
They also have a 4* wr that would be a nice addition to the 21 class
Walker got 0 carries against Utah State. He got 9 (for 125 yards thanks to that 96 yarder) against Rice. 13 against UNC (94 yards) in a game where CBS had 15 (51 yards). And then today, he had 9 carries and CBS had 3. I think after this game, we might see an OR between the two on the depth chart. Carney is still the best of the three in my opinion, but he and Walker are different types of backs and compliment each other well. Most importantly, they're both incredibly difficult to tackle. CBS should still get significant playing time, but it should be focused on the passing game and not the running game. He'd be a good 3rd down back.
Ahmani Marshall- 6’0, 205 out of East Forsyth.
He’s a monster, freakishly strong, very good between the tackles, fast- hard to take down and hard to catch once he gets loose.
He’s graduating in December and will enroll in January. I assume he’ll redshirt. He’s a nice pickup for Clawson and the future of our running game is exciting. This kid could be special.
Interestingly, his dad was a UNC RB and played for Mack Brown in the early 90s. Everyone thought UNC was a lock once for Ahmani once they hired Mack. I was told Ahmani went to a UNC camp and left with zero interest in playing for Brown.
I think East Forsyth also has a good guard ... any chance that WF is getting interest from?
Micah Crowell. 6’2, 205. He’s been hurt all season but he is very, very good.
Apparently he received an offer from Syracuse (?) last night. He would be a nice addition to the WF roster.
Yes seems to like the holes hope we can get him
Spoke to a family member at Marshall's hat picking ceremony and he said that the UNC coaches disrespected dad and he didn't like them. I
+1 Carney isn’t stunting Walker’s growth like Thomas did with Collins. It’s clear that we can have two running backs split time and carries very well.
