Which RB would you take?

Here is some Chestnut film from this year. Most of it goes game-by-game, so you can see his "normal" runs (i.e. tough gains in between the tackles) mixed in with his huge plays. Note the long runs he breaks against the likes of St. Thomas Aquinas, Central and Northwestern.

Does this kid have an offer yet. I like Tice a lot, but this kid is legit.

Well **** Pete, what are they waiting for? Do they know they can get him late so they are going after Green first?
 
To me Tice's highlights are pretty comparable to Collins. I know, I know, Collins are better but Tice's are pretty **** good!

Chestnut looks like a poor man's Duke! Not sure why they would want somebody with Duke's size just not near as good!

After watching Tice's highlights, I think he's a poor-man's Collins. He's a cut-and-go type runner. He finishes his runs well and has pretty good vision. Its hard to compare the two because everyone knows Collins and he plays in a different type of system but its would interesting to compare Collins' junior highlights and Tice's highlights.

If Tice goes to a school that allows him to develop, put on size, and adjust his technique.... WOW!

Player C

Player A is Daryl Chestnut
Player B is Alex Collins
Player C is Tice from MNW.

I have to agree if AC is a no go, and green is a pipe dream then go with Chestnut, it seems Fitch likes that running in space type back that has great vision. Chestnut has a choppy running stride which can be corrected with speed training, an considering he currentlt runs a 4.5, that could drop to 4.4 mind you those are laser timed numbers.

Go Canes
 
Chestnut reminds me of Ray Rice and Tice has the Marcus Allen thing going where it seems he's always falling forward.

Straight up beast.

I hate it when they speed up the film on these highlights. I'd like to get a look at Tice's real life speed, but he did have some impressive runs, good feet and balance. Definitely like him better than Dillard, but I like Greg Bryant better than Tice.

If we were taking a full class this year I'd be fine with Chestnut too, but we've already got two smallish backs in Duke and Crawford.

I'd be fine with booting Dillard and taking a class of Bryant & Tice.

Those Tice highlights aren't sped up. He has really good speed.

The fact that you think they sped up his film should tell you something about his athletic ability.

Didn't you go to high school with Chestnut, Peter? Sounds like you've got a dog in the fight maybe?

Personally I think Chestnut looks great on film, but Tice and Green look even more great. The one that didn't impress me as much was Lorenzo Woodley, who played at the Under 19 world championships in Texas. Why couldn't Chestnut start over that kid?

Peter Ariz said:
Side-note: Why do we insist that there must be a "Workhorse" back in this class? It's not like they are riding Mike James for 20 carries a game or anything like that. Duke is an incredible short-yardage back/goal line back with has a great nose for the 1st down/end zone. I say just bring in the best back out there that you can.

I laugh when I see people post something like "We don't need Chestnut because he's too similar to Duke." Huh? You don't want somebody that is similar to Duke? I'm not comparing Chestnut to Duke, but their styles are similar and Chestnut can break a game open like Duke.

I wanna ask you one question

If I had some nuts hangin' on the walls, what did I have, honey?
Darlin' you'd have some walnuts.

Well.. daddy if I had some nuts on my chest, would those be chestnuts?
**** yes!

Well daddy if I had nuts under my chin would those be chin-nuts?
**** no ***** you'd have a **** in your mouth!
 
I want Tice! Whether we get Collins or not. Hopefully we can get both. We need 2 backs in this class.
