Keith Ford and Greg Bryant

[madbrad]

First, let me say I'm happier than pigs in **** we landed these two guys.

Second, I keep hearing comparisons to Demarco Murray in regard to Greg Bryant. As much as I like Bryant I'm simply not seeing it. Demarco's highlight reel from high school might be the most impressive film I have ever seen. The cuts he made were so sudden that the other team had zero chance to tackle him. Greg Bryant, while agile, is not on that level. He catches well and does well with contact.

Third, I LOVE Keith Ford. I watched his film and am actually a little more impressed with him than Bryant. They are similar backs in size and speed. I like Ford's agility a little more than Bryant's. I would like to hear your guys' thoughts.

I agree I like keith ford more because he looks to be faster (says he runs a 4.37) and more agile.

Same here. Ford's speed and overall quickness put him above Bryant.

I think we all agree on that but all of the recruiting services have Bryant ahead so I'm just not quite sure where they are coming from because it seems to be a consensus among the services

scout.com has Ford rated the number 2 back in the nation.

Demarco's HS highlight reel without a doubt is the most impressive highlight reel I've ever seen.

Demarco's HS highlight reel without a doubt is the most impressive highlight reel I've ever seen.

Id put AD's HS highlights at #1, Reggie Bush at #2, and Demarco is a close 3rd.

[sperry]

Sort of random, but one of the most impressive HS highlight films I've ever seen is Jacob Guttierrez. He looked like Barry Sanders out there.

Greg Bryant reminds me a ton of Trent Richardson. Power and speed. Can cut on a dime, and both have that horrible habit of carrying the ball low.

Let's just hope that both of these guy are productive for us. Always good seeing us recruit different types of backs. Not really a fan of the small backs in this offense truthfully.

[cmdsooner]

I'm more of a Bryant fan. His ability in between tackles is top notch. I love Ford as well, but Bryant's balance, power, and cutting ability in the hole puts him a little higher for me.

God, I hope I'm right...

God, I hope I'm right...

Yeah, I'm right with ya. I liked Bryant I think he will be a real good back in college, but Ford looks like he is on the same level. We'll see how it goes.

Sounds like Bryant became a ****ing traitor.

Settle down. Benedict Arnold was a traitor. Bryant is a freaking 17 year old kid.
