First thing noticed as well. Doesn’t work much at the college level.

I don’t see the point of offering 8th graders.

If he's already LDS and a BYU fan

what's the downside risk? many speak to the fact that someone offered first being a material piece of their decision.

They should offer every 8th grader, then just pick and choose who we want.

I believe coaches can initiate contact with 8th graders

Nice, hopefully he is still a man among men when his competition matures.

When I was in 8th grade, the best player on my Jr High team was

Yes, but the last three 8th graders to get offers (and commit) are all doing

If 8th graders are being offered, it's more than current stature. The coaches

There's some seriously bad tackling in that video

Watch at 1:40. What do you think happened?

Went out of bounds?

Gotta have a lot of confidence to run backwards 10 yards at times

Yep, a bad habit that will have to be unlearned

He'll only need to get smacked by a DE in pursuit a few times to learn haha

Cashmeousside

1/17/18 10:20am

Yeah as a former RB it hurt my soul to see that, but he's an athlete for sure

ChiCityCoug

1/17/18 10:03am

he's watching too many Barry Sanders highlight reels

Betruewhiteandblue

1/17/18 10:25am

A ton of his highlights start with him running backwards for 10-15 yards lol

rggee

1/17/18 10:03am

Not a fan of running backwards

Jericho

1/17/18 10:21am

Great speed, acceleration, vision, elusiveness; horrible decision making

teancum

1/17/18 10:28am

Agreed, his vision is amazing and something that is very difficult to teach

deljdc

1/17/18 1:17pm

Haha. People are actually analyzing the video. He is in 8th grade.

Baron

1/17/18 10:36am

What are you analyzing?

Jericho

1/17/18 10:41am

Nothing. He is in 8th grade.

Baron

1/17/18 10:50am

So you hate the decision to offer him? Or you love it?

Jericho

1/17/18 10:56am

Neither. I am laughing at the posters analyzing an 8th grader.

Baron

1/17/18 10:58am

No comment about the coaches who are analyzing an 8th grader though?

Jericho

1/17/18 11:17am

Nope. If it works you will see it with victories. Too early to complain about their methods with regard to this.

Baron

1/17/18 11:34am

Analyzing as in watched the video and saw him running backwards?

I still analyze my film from 8th grade, shows where to improve for turkey bowl

ChiCityCoug

1/17/18 11:42am

Hilarious.

cujo22

1/17/18 11:17am

Has he ever been tackled?

dodgersjazzcougs

1/17/18 11:52am

Too much running the wrong direction. He will have a lot of negative yards.

GilbertAZCougar

1/17/18 12:12pm

Offering 8th graders is ridiculous. Maybe for Basketball?
