Barry Sanders Jr.-shape shifter?

Post by nehalem »

Some of the best running highlights I've ever seen fron a high school kid-kind of a cross between the roadrunner and speedy gonzales. Although I found it curious that I didn't see one spin from him in those highlights. I guess he doesn't need to when he can stop on a dime and accelerate from 0 to warp 10 in 1.5 seconds. It's going to be interesting to watch his recruitment. Video is 3/4 of the way through the article.

Ya think????? :roll: Now all we need to do is make sure that he WANTS to pick the Ducks....Seems quite cut and dried to me....lol

The concept is easy to imagine...It's the execution that may present the problem...

He'll probably go to a school where he can start right away. But who knows, if the Ducks keep racking up the running yardage and continue to put RB's in the NFL-why not Oregon.

My guess is that he will go to a Texas or Oklahoma school.

My guess is the early leader is probably his father's alma mater... Oklahoma State.

Like one article I came across said... "Hands off, Detroit Lions. You've shortened enough careers!"

I am guessing Oklahoma State, just like his old man. Although ESPN ran a special on him and he did mention a few times about how he doesn't want to be the next Barry Sanders and that he wants to make his own name for himself. So maybe that attitude will take him elsewhere. So maybe we have a shot.

Definitely Oklahoma State is the front-runner.

He may want to avoid his Dad's huge shadow as much as possible.

Its gonna be tough for him not to be the next Barry Sanders with a name like Barry Sanders JR.

We could only hope. You would think one of our Texas boys would know him.
BTW, every time I see your name, I think it says Hedwig as in "Hedwig and the Angry Inch."
Great soundtrack, ok movie.
