Top Player in PA 2016....

[Chescat]

is probably Deandre Swift out of St. Joseph's Prep (Philly). I know, I know,
Ford, Wade, etc...but no, it's Swift IMO.
The irony is no PA Div1 school lands him (he's going to Georgia). He's right there
in Philly, and of course Temple doesn't get him, surprisingly to some, neither does PSU;
and of course we don't either.
St. Joe's squares off against Central Catholic for the state title. I know what many must be
thinking...two private catholic schools recruiting players both in and out of state.

-I wouldn't trade Ford for Swift and the other guy going to Georgia for a 2 for 1. 6'2 Ford with 4.4 speed and a 4 sec shuttle vs 5'8 smurf Swift. At least Wade bulked up and looks about 5'10. I don't like smurfs.

You do like Q Henderson a bit...kinda? Exceptions, I know...

You know that was stupid to say. Maybe smurf's don't like you. Besides that weather or not he is better than Ford or Wade do you have as much talent as he has to justify calling him a smurf ? And we are not getting him anyway so why talk about his height ?

Ricky Martin runs a BOSS shuttle time - I heard he's your favorite singer.

I like Paris ford as much as the next guy.

D'Andre Swift is Shady McCoy before his high school injury, just so you know.

RB's are a dime a dozen truth be told. Ford is more of a rare commodity.

Premier running backs are not a dime a dozen or everyone would have one. This isn't to dis Ford in any way. Just the facts

-Henderson was a high school track star with a 4.3 40. And yea I like Henderson, much rather have Ford. Fords upside is incredible. And no, Swift will not be the fastest player in NFL history to 7000 yards and have at like least 5 pro bowls and be a hall of fame lock like McCoy is. So we can end that ridiculous theory now as Swift isn't even in the same universe as McCoy.

Pitt seems to find one all the time. Shady, Dion, Ray, James....

Not facts. Only your opinion

Why would he go to Georgia? He could pick any school, why Georgia? Weird selection

First off, after watching all their tapes, I dont know how anyone can say Swift is better than Ford or Wade.

Secondly, Georgia has had phenomenally great running backs... I am thinking that it isnt a stretch to assume he was a Gurley fan, and liked Georgia?? Has to beat all the ped state fans near him

 

[vegasgreed]

He is not there yet, let's just hope he doesn't end up a Nittter.

[Pitt1992]

He's going to Georgia with his best friend if I'm not mistaken

 

[CougarClaws]

Ford has a half dozen pick-sixes, this season. Think about that for a minute.

 

[GrrrrreenAcres]

I believe actually the person he is going to Georgia with, Mark Webb is his cousin. Correct me if I'm wrong but I could have sworn I read that when Swift was making his college decision.

 

[anon_4dfwm2pijbr0a]

I also thought Swift was monitoring what Miles Sanders did last year, ups, and he wouldn't go there

 

[yourhired]

Your correct Swift & Webb our going to GA. Swift will most likely see lots of playing time since Chubb and Michel will most likely leaving GA. Swift wasn't interested in PSU he wanted to go away from what I understand and Webb was a packaged deal

I like Hinnish better than any other Pa kid.....

 

[raleighpanther]

Ford is special player, and I wouldn't trade him for anyone.
