I never thought I'd see the day we'd have two top running backs from Hallettsville and El Campo. The 2024 running back needs to be from Wharton or East Bernard.

If you mix in Dobbins from La Grange, who should have been a Longhorn, there’s been some good RB talent come out of the little towns in the area

More like South Central. SE has to be east of Houston.

yeah, fair enough.  I've always struggled to categorize that area, its kind of a no man's land between regions but Coastal Plain seems to fit well as Machinator said.

He reminds me of Saquon Barkley. So I went to watch Saquon's highlights, and damn if Saquon's Hudl doesn't look slow compared to Rueben.

Expand  

My first instinct was to point out how much bigger Saquon is so I went to his 247 profile, he was listed as 190 pounds as a HS prospect. 

Weighed in at 233 at the NFL combine. To gain 40 pounds in a few years and still test off the charts athletically is insane, what a freak. Doubt we see or want Owens to ever get that big.

Rueben Owens and Arch Manning are gonna kill it for Sark. Re-reading what Gerry said about Manning gonna be upset that Owens committed first leaves me feeling gruntled

I’m  not a member of IT so pardon me if this is already known but have any of the mods over there stated that we have a shot at Manning?

Hamilton has been beating that drum semi-regularly, up to you whether you want to take that at face value or not (they're in the business of selling subscriptions, after all)

Gerry mentioned that Manning would be upset that Owens committed first, and then someone on here asked if this was a joke and was told no, it's real. So I assume we have a better shot than people realize.

I wonder if he meant Manning would be upset that Owens committed to TEXAS specifically or that Owens stole the thunder of being the first big commit in the 23 class overall?

I'm thinking to Texas, but that's me being greedy and wanting Manning in our class. But I really don't know, other than what Gerry had said.

Just speculating, but I wonder if he feels good about waiting and taking over when Herm retires. Herm is turning 67 this year and has two more years on his contract. If they continue to have success and they have that front office/support staff humming it would make sense to go internal hire. Pierce seems like a logical choice, maybe they even have a handshake HCIW deal. 

Expand  

Don't have to speculate much.  AP being the HC-in-training is the worst kept secret in Tempe.  Herm (and Marvin Lewis) have been grooming him since he was plucked from Long Beach Poly.  Pro Bowler, Super Bowl Champ, tied into So Cal deeply, went to college at Arizona and wound up hating UA's leadership.  He's the ASU dream coach.

ASU landing Larry Turner-Gooden is part due to AP bringing in Chris Claiborne from USC to coach LB's at ASU.  CC and AP are friends.  Claiborne had coached LTG at Calabasus previously.  The ASU DB coach's father also runs the kid's 7 on 7 team.

ASU needs a big year to keep momentum.  The good news for them is their roster is in really good shape.  This is, on paper, their best team since the Plummer/Tillman era.

He also wasn’t pushed. Track times have context. You run faster times when someone else is there to push you.

Even Usain Bolt coasted when it was an easy race, and world records were on the line.
