The CheckerBoard

6-3, 240 lbs and he is a JR in HS..... That is one big RB.....

Ryan, because of his size, do you see him being more productive at another position?????

CJG doing work. Kid is a beast.

Is Peterman an angle here? Did they know each other? Maybe he could help recruit.

That's great news. I would love to see us land a big, powerful, every down kind of RB.

This is my favorite player in the entire class.

would love to get this guy

Yeah Size wise....but I would hesitate to go that far this soon. I saw Bush play quite a bit when living ine the Louisville area Earlier this decade....and there's a reason he's in the pro's besides being a RIDICULOUS athlete...he's blazing fast, or at least was... you all might remember Brian Brohm, who was from Trinity Cath in Louisville.... looked heavily at UT before signing with UL where his older bro was OC.

Bush and Brohm battled it out against each other at QB, Bush at Male HS and a better athlete...Brohm the prototypical QB on a better team at Trinity.

Anyway, waaaay off subject. But I don't see anything (yet) on film to compare him to Bush....that was what I was getting at.

Not trying to be debbie downer... but Michael Bush is an ELITE talent....this kid ehhh maybe not, yet anyway.

He looks bigger and faster than everyone else he's playing against....and the divison 4 in FL.... well.....ehhh not the toughest, when you match it up against some of the other divisions south.

Just look at there sched results last year.

As far as the "burst" one poster talked about.... maybe it shows up in person / live... against the competetion....but it doesn't seem to show up on his many tape clips on youtube.

Maybe the two Lineman on UT's team from Gainsville, FL could speak about him... looks like their school beat them last year and you know how kids keep up with their old teams / mates etc.

Yeah, he sure looks like an LB... looks like he was 225 his soph yr... then up 241 at the end of his jr / this year ... thats pretty impressive for a young kid who's metabolism usually makes it hard to put on that much weight... and looks like he may easy add more by that submission.

Anyway, I know those weights, heights, times etc are fudged. But it seems you've seen him play....? Does he play LB for his team?

as for the League he plays in.... there are only 2 other teams... both seem pretty crappy. The division... 4a... is good.. granted its FL... however, only notice a few that our regularly consistent and good... like Bowles or Raines... and Cocoa.

FL has 8a divisions so... they would be considered middle of the pack, fair?

Looking at the teams they lost to the past two years.....that's just an outsiders view from Max preps.
