Re: ***** 2017 RB Najee Harris Commits to Alabama *****

Can't wait to see the De La Salle defense against Najee on Friday 10pm CST ESPNU.
De La Salle is a national powerhouse year in, year out with a very stout D. They once had a 12 year, 151 game win streak, of which my high school team almost beat them toward the beginning of the streak, except for an 80 yard pass TD with less than a minute to play.
I watched the movie last year. Amazing feat for De La Salle. Thanks for the heads up on the game being on TV.

Might be a tough night for Najee tonight.
That really good DeLaSalle defense is going to be keying in on him. They'll be looking to shut him down, and make the rest of the Antioch offense try to beat them. These DeLaSalle coaches are better than many college coaches. They get the best out of some pretty good athletes that allows them to have consistent success against even more talented teams.

De La Salle stopped Harris all right, holding him to 132 rushing yards — 75 below his low total of the season — and a single touchdown. Last season he had two lower rushing totals, games of 126 and 105, but in those lopsided wins he had a combined 12 carries. On Friday, he carried 32 times for a measly 4.1 yards per carry.

Ya, but you can tell that Najee has serious talent, definite it factor. He was hit behind the line on most of his carries, and a smooth 40 yard TD got called back due to a penalty.

We had 2 true freshman RBs get significant playing time in today's game. Hopefully Harris realizes if he chooses Bama he will see the field as a freshman..

Looking at the number of true freshmen getting playing time in recent years, Najee Harris must understand that if you earn the right to play, you will play. Who would have ever thought Alabama would start a true freshman QB in the 2nd game of the season? Mr. Hurts earned the right to start. Najee will be treated the same way -- if he earns the right to start/play, he will.

Harris didn't have much blocking support last night, plus he was going against a very good D who was keying on him every play.

I agree he had little blocking in the part of the game I watched. He looks good. What worried me is that he got the ball on virtually every play and everyone in the stadium knew what was coming. He is taking a beating.

We do have true freshman playing well. He could just be about playing time and head coaches being stuck to his jock strap like harbaugh does. Good luck to the young man regardless. I'm sure what seems like a no brainer decision for us can be quite challenging for some

Re: ***** 2017 RB Najee Harris Commits to Alabama *****

yeh, probably a playing time issue. He's good, but he'd be behind both Harris and Jacobs at least. Thats not even counting Bo and Emmons. I hope he sticks. But he obviously is thinking about other options.

As soon as I saw the latest news, I was like, let the fun begin lol

Seriously though, PT is very rarely a tool that rival schools can use against us. The records show that WE PLAY FRESHMEN, as long as you can work hard, learn the system and do what it takes to make the team successful. I mean just ask, Jalen, B.J., Minkah, Deron, Tony, Mack, Trevon, Josh, Calvin, and the list goes on and on ...

At the end of the day, I think he's fine and is just playing the recruiting game.

Michigan barely has a top 10 class and how its looking will have a hard time having a top 15 ranked class come NSD. While both Bama AND OSU will easily have top 5 classes ... which means they are in a prime spot to compete for the CFP championships for the next 3-4 years ... Michigan will be competing to be 2nd or 3rd best in the Big 10 for the next 3-4 years ... I'm just saying

He can always come in and take one of the spots from Emmons, Jacob or Scarbough. I wouldn't be shocked to see bo moving to Te next year.

Maybe RTR91, or someone else, can back me up on this but I _THINK _ he is playing the media on this.

I may be proved wrong, but I still feel good about this.

I think Bo's health is a concern and I think BJ's academics are a longer term concern (along with Bo's) so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Harris become part of a 3 back rotation if he does decide to come to the Capstone.

I doubt he could take a spot from Jacobs, because the kid is just so good...but Harris is the real deal, and will see snaps next year. He's too good not to.
