Just got off the phone with Keith Bryant

[Peter Ariz]

I'll have a full interview up later, but here are some of the highlights.

-USC visit was nice, but Says he's fully committed to Miami "I'm going to Miami"
-He wanted to take visits because "you're only a recruit once"
-Says he will be at every home game this year
-Something that sticks out about Miami is the fact that they were the first big school to offer
-Nothing to worry about here

Thanks bud

We've been waiting nearly a decade for a DT recruit like this. Quickness and nastiness. A true throwback.

Marcus was supposed to be that Guy.

Thanks Pete good ****.

You're right. The difference between Forston and Bryant is that Bryant plays mean.

Never thought he was that guy, even when we were recruiting him. I know he was highly ranked and all.

Bryant's tougher, thicker, plays lower.

/was never a forston fan

I wish my confidence in Collins commitment level was as high as it is with this kid.

 

[Dan E. Dangerously]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Peter Ariz again.

Thanks Peter

As for a throwback let's not forget about Allen Bailey. I like this kid too. Dare I say Sapp-esck nastiness. Grades looks to be the last hurdle. What have people heard? What's the general consensus ?

Watching Todd Chandler outplay and out work Marcus Forston on an almost weekly basis let most of our knowledgeable fans know what we were most likely getting. I don't have an opinion on Keith Bryant yet but I disagree that Marcus Forston was supposed to be "that guy".

He maybe had an alright chance to be a difference maker but then he never really even flashed work ethic in his HS games. Marcus Forston really had little shot of living up to his 5 star billing if you ask me. I never expected him to be some monster.

Agreed. He was quick and fluid for his size, and played a good all star game back in HS.

Good nuff for me

Some people get upset when Golden offers kids that have no other big offers, but this shows how valuable that can be. Trust in Golden!

Yea, but you also get the other side of the coin where a guy like Quincy Wilson isn't offered right away and people start *****ing.

My hope was Marcus would be like Booger Mcfarland. He was a classic one gapper and simply played too high. When I saw him get controlled by a bunch of fat, low-center-of-gravity Cuban guys who played for Columbus, I was concerned.

Keith Bryant is a better prospect. Ignore the rankings. Just watch them play.

One of the best posts I have read in a while. Granted its always easier to talk about this stuff years later but there were definitely concerns back in the day.

Sense of self-entitlement.

Forston was suppose to be that guy. Frosh AA....all the signs pointed toward him dominating then the injury big hit. Not once did I see anyone say Forston would bust until after the fact.
