2023 RB Mark Fletcher (commits to OSU* & De-Commits)

I’d rather drag my **** through 10 miles of broken whiskey bottles than see your scorching hot takes

Jesus H Christ

I smell ya & I get ur point but don’t do it dawg! Please don’t do it just to prove a point to him

Fletcher is a good kid in a bad spot.

I hope he takes the best deal.

In that case I hope ours is the best deal.

 

[DMoney]

How does Fletcher compare to Thad coming out of HS? I’m just sayin…

Thad is actually more of a pure runner. Smoother and better feet.

Fletcher is a superior overall football player and more likely to meet his ceiling. Physically, he’s longer, stronger, leaner, tougher and more of an explosive striker on contact. Speed is pretty similar but I give Fletcher the edge.

 

[The U is back to work]

As far as Baxter goes you are probably right...but the sane thing could have been said about Cormani McClain.

Yes but Cormani at least mentioned UM every time lol he said we were a third but he mentioned UM in a final 3 the entire time

In that case I hope ours is the best deal.

With ETN at Florida, I don’t see why he would choose UF. At Miami, he would probably have more opportunity to play early.

But will he be a Cane….

And if so will he bring anyone else with him

fair comp.

For those wondering, this is a nice breakdown of Baxter's film... Upper echelon program-changing back that should be at the very top of our board.

Maybe but usually these predictions by fellow recruits are extremely unreliable. Typically diversionary

A Big Mark Walton ?

 

[AtlAtty]

Fletcher would be a nice recruit to get but he is not, IMO, changing any program’s trajectory. And he isn’t Baxter who has size, speed, and can change direction quickly. If you want to wring your hands over the one that got away it should be Baxter, not Fletcher.

Walton was able to change directions quicker, which I tihnk is an extremely underrated trait in RB’s. As often as not the hole is not where it is supposed to be and a RB has to see that, make a decision and have the ability to make the cut.
Henry Parrish has that ability.
Portis was as good as anyone at UM with this.

I remember Walton and just seen the frame of Fletcher, just seem to be a big version of Mark without the change of direction.

 

[Odysseus]

That's pretty wild if he decommit from the team that has the #1 offense in the nation to go to a middle of the pack SEC team UF that just started recruiting him last week, at least Miami has the hometown building team recruiting pitch

Those public recruiting pitches never work we see that all the time cause recruits won't blow up other guys spots they let them have their moment
