Parrish

[Las Panteras]

I find it interesting the kid has not yet decomitted.

He has a ton of big offers including many close to home.

Yet he is still committed.

That tells me the staff has done a nice job of recruiting the kid, and there is a very real possibility he plays right away.

And, watching his film, he is explosive to be sure. I know it's high school film, and maybe some more educated posters can discuss,

But the kid looks really terrific and would be a heck of a recruit for Pitt.

I think he would play right away, but he has to come here first. He's not signing until LOI day in February. I would be surprised if he signed with Pitt at this point.

hes not committed, he said in psn article he doesn't know which school he will be going to and signing with, hes not committed

 

[pittzap]

He said recently that he took an unofficial visit to Florida and that the three schools he's considering are Florida, South Carolina, and Pitt and he signing in February. So I agree, he's not committed.

 

[Las Panteras]

Ok,

I agree he is "not committed"

But nor has he "de-committed"

Given what we have read about Parrish this is pleasantly surprising.

It would be a helluva trick to keep this kid but as of today we are still in this.

The kid his like what we currently have. He is not a big, powerful back or an elite, speed back. He has impressive stats, but do they translate.

 

[lilspainishflea]

Given his public comments, I get the sense that his "offers" from UF and South Carolina are not committable, or he'd already be gone. He's holding out for someone else in the worst way. We may end up with him, but he's clearly looking for someone else.

Well given how you’ve been listing and going by recruiting rankings this week shouldn’t you be thrilled with this one? I did look up this one and he’s a 5.8 on Rivals so based on what I’ve seen this week that’s pretty good, no?

He was. 5.5 before this week.

He's been killing it in FL's highest classification. They're playing for a state title next weekend and he's rushed for 2,300 yards and 28 TDs.

He's small. I think some of the big boys are scared off from his lack of prototypical size. But he's a baller and I think he's way more talented and athletic than anyone we have on the roster.

I do not know of anyone that moved from a 5.5 to a 5.8 in one week.

Vincent Davis looked pretty good on those long runs against Geo.Tech and BC

Isn’t that good? I’m sure the .3 matters but as I said the other day I’m not too knowledgeable with this stuff.

 

[Las Panteras]

Gary,

Watch his film

He gets through the hole way faster than Davis.

Again, it's high school tape. But this kid would help us right away.

 

[9nationalchampionships]

With this bump he is now the 155th highest rated recruit in the country. He would be the featured back at Pitt based on what he looks like on tape. RBU

He sounds like a clone of Vincent Davis.

He sounds like a clone of Vincent Davis.

Except he’s 15-20 pounds heavier and way quicker. Way closer to Ray Graham than Vincent Davis

Maybe you guys should stop posting this stuff and putting thoughts in his head, just like you're expecting him to decommit,

He's a prototypical running back for a zone blocking scheme. He has top level change of direction. Like others have said, very Ray Graham-like.

Think you are right. Not a big back. No elite speed. Can be very good with good blocking and effective play calling.

I think Vince Davis can be as well and has better take it to the house speed.

Didn't look very big to me. Listed at 5-9 175. Way quicker?

Yea,

A 4 star running back is worried about old fat guys say on a message board.

Ok.

 

[SouthSidePanther]

Pitt is his safety school. If any program he perceives as more prestigious offers, he's going there.

Yeh if that's why they are reluctant then their idiots. Dion Lewis did fine along with tons of guys like Warrick Dunn, Darren Sproles, Tarik Cohen. Explosiveness is the #1 attribute for a runner to me.

 

[pitt2533]

Really like him and think he will definitely help Pitt. But I also think there is a much better chance he doesn't come here than he does come here so I don't expect him to be here next year.

While I really want him to come, it is clear to me that he is looking elsewhere. Hope I am wrong but....

I like his style of running in Whipple's offense- that said, he might not be the best running back in his class.

 

[PittSquared]

He's not signing in December, lobbied for a Miami offer (which he didn't get), and took a recent visit to Florida. Draw your own conclusions.

I like Abanikanda as well. I think he can be a good back. This class overall has some playmakers which this offense needs.

 

[gary2]

Anyone hear anything about Daniel Carter from practice?

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

RB's are a dime a dozen. Unless you are truly elite, which very few are, you're just like everyone else. Maybe the least important position in all of sports.

I had no idea which position he played when I was reading this thread and when I saw RB, I breathed a sigh of relief. This country produces a massive over-supply of "good enough" RBs.

 

[palpitt]

He said recently that he took an unofficial visit to Florida and that the three schools he's considering are Florida, South Carolina, and Pitt and he signing in February. So I agree, he's not committed.

He won't go to South Carolina.
