He's 100% committed so He'll sign with Bammer.

I wanted to watch this last night. This kid is unreal in his highlight vids. Hopefully I can catch a replay.

Saturday morning at 11 on FSS.

I went. The game was insane. Never seen a high school game like it. Jumbotrons, fireworks, flyovers... Crazy stuff.

Since this was the first thread in this forum on him......just read on Rivals today that he plans on being a December graduate and will enroll in January. Huge if we can get him in that early and let him work with the team in the spring. I am giddy about our situation at RB. If our line can impove, we should be able to run at will next year.

Dyer
McCalleb
Mason
Blakey
Yeldon
Grant

and I can't remember the kids name, but there is another kid who looks the part that we are in on as well. Robersons, Robinson? The kid out of Memphis.

That's right, Jovon Robinson and he's phenomenal on film.

I have a feeling a few running backs may be processed next year. Or at least moved to a new position. Hopefully receiver.

I'm most excited about Robinson. 220 pounds and 6'1. FINALLY some real size at the running back position.

Yeldon will be the better of the two, but with McCalebb and Mason being viable speed backs, Yeldon will probably have to wait his turn.

Yep. and Blakely I suspect will be right in the mix as well. This should be fun to watch for good team competition like this usually results in damn good football.

Some random rivals poster thinks that OMac wants to go pro after this year. Since he has a kid and needs the money. Said he won't get any bigger or faster if he stays another year and thinks he can make it as a punt return specialist.

The guy is full of shit imo.

Tell Omac to have a chat with Darvin Adams first.

Yeah. I think the guy is full of shit unless he has heard that directly from OMac in conversation.

OMac is pure speed, but has little shiftiness. He'd be a fucking fool to leave early for the NFL.

Agree.

The guy is full of shit and if OMac truly believes that he can make it, he is full of shit too.

MacProne needs to stay and really dedicate himself to adding about 10-15 pounds in the off season. Every year, we hear about how he's "Beefing up". He looks the same. Was listed at 174 coming in to this season. I'll give the guy credit though. While he still has times where a good strong cheesey blaster from the 22nd row will knock him off his feet, he's had plenty of other times where he's actually run hard through some tackles. Ran hard against LSU this weekend. At his size though, the guy just seems to take too many hard ass hits...every game. Getting up to around 190 could make him attractive to the NFL as a special teams player or back in some passing situations.

The problem is he can't really make anyone miss. That's why he takes so many hits. He can damn sure run past someone, or outrun a defender to the sideline, but if there is a defender in good position, McCaleb looks pretty easy to tackle...

Make it,in my not so professional opinion, for maybe a pre-season before getting cut. He will get his little ass murked in the NFL. CFL and the way of Trey Blackmon, maybe......NFL, I just don't think OMac has it. I love the little guy, but just being realistic.

Lionel James was a lot different than O-Mac. There's a reason we have two freshmen returning kickoffs and another returning punts.
