If we're gonna recruit an "under the radar" Running Back then it needs to be Matt Laroche. Kid is unreal. I watched him shred Braden River for over 280 yards rushing last week. He has ridiculous foot work and balance. He's undersized at about 5'10" 170 but he's a kid that can be effective around 190lbs. He's exactly the type of RB you want if we're gonna be running primarily spread.
I absolutely love watching this kid. I'll be at Venice's game once against this week just to see him.
There is no denying Laroche is fast as ****, but he looks he is 150lbs soaking wet, which is probably why the big schools have stayed away.

I hear ya. I don't know how much he weighs exactly but I can tell you this much, I've never seen him get physically abused. (and I've seen a lot of his games)
He absolutely embarrasses everybody he plays against, and many of those teams on his highlights are decent squads. They blew out Manatee High, Palmetto is always good on defense, Booker is loaded with athletes, Braden River has the most talent in Manatee County, Sarasota High has a bunch of talent, South Fort Myers has talent.
Venice is an undefeated team and they're blowing people out. It's 80% on the legs of Laroche. They have a QB who runs the ball pretty decent and he's Venice's counter-punch but for the most part Laroche is the only athlete they have. Their team honestly
looks like Cooper City High or Douglas.
Laroche is not just getting by and putting up decent numbers, he's embarrassing teams.
