Better go get J. Dancy from Junction City...

[MrKlem10]

Regardless of him being a 2a kid from South Arkansas.   The last one we let get away was Dixon... And he is a straight up beast for LA Tech.   11 touches last night for over 300 yards.   Three touchdowns of over 55 yards..... Good day can you say home run?

Diamond in the rough boys. .

[cowboy_hawg]

I watched him play once this year.  Out of all the players on the field, he stood out the most.  I don't know about grades, character or his measurable but his football ability is lights out in the division he plays.  If Jct. City has other players that are D1, he should be getting looks also.

[NLRHog92]

Agree! Just as electric as Korliss was. Not sure if I like him as much as DJ Brown, but I would be satisfied with either, even though I think we go and get a big name.

[hawgfan4life]

JC head coach says he is best RB to come through in his career.  I would love to see him in Fayetteville.

[Pathogen]

Here we go again.  Everyone that thinks they have an eye for DI SEC talent uses Dixon as an example of how UA is overlooking some diamond in the rough, or invokes Marshall.  Can he play linebacker too?

The kid is legit. Every high school coach in south Arkansas thinks he is undervalued. Lunney is sick of hearing about him.

Pretty sure the one of the glaring weaknesses of the offense is a breakaway back with speed and shakes.... I think he fits that bill.

Also, why does it matter that he would be in the same sentence as Dixon and Marshall?  He is an absolute small town diamond in the rough.  Kid is electric. 

[searkhogfan]

I'm not an expert on SEC talent.  But I watched Byron Jones & Alan Turner play several times against my sons team.  And I've seen Bell & Dancy play the last 3 years.  And out of all of them. Dancy is the one that stands out on the field. I'm hoping the Hogs come in with a late offer.  Like they did Turner

[MH04]

I haven't seen either one of them in person but I think DJ Brown looks better on film.

Is it he's tired of being badgered or does the Arkansas staff not believe he's legit?

[MrKlem10]

Dancy run freaking tough.   Doesn't dance,  good full speed cuts.   Needs an offer at least

[Arthur pigby sellers.]

Looks pretty good.  I wouldn't trade any RB we are seriously looking at for RW.  Did he camp this year?

[jcharkansas]

Kinda runs like Wingo used to, swinging his arm around in circles to change direction. It just looked that way on the video I maybe wrong.

[razorfrog]

http://www.directathletics.com/athletes/track/3878493.html

Here are some track stats on him.  Love this site.  Concerning he ran the 100 faster as a 9th grader than he did as a junior?

DJ Brown looks better on film for sure. Against better competition at that.

maybe it was a tail wind/head wind that caused the difference in times?

[NLRHog92]

Staff is going down there later this week to visit J Bell and also to check out practice. Might be a Plan B and could see an offer before it's said and done.

[scruf]

I would take DJ over Dancy. Best of luck to both of these two young men.

I think I'll trust the coaches to decide who to offer..............................

[HoneyNuttPetrinoos]

Dancy averages 19.7 yards a carry. It doesn't matter what class this guy plays in. Smackover is pretty good and he ran crazy on them to.  Junction City could compete against most bigger schools if not all of them.

Remember that kid from the Texas Private School league.  He switched to LB but never amounted to anything at Arkansas.  I think he averaged about 25 YPC.  Competition matters. 

[kingt]

I think we will pass on this kid. He looks like a good D2 prospect though.

[NLRHog92]

He's committed to LA Tech. That's mid-major DI. Big difference between DII and DI...

[Tweeter]

I'll tell you this....if the coaches think Deon Stewart is good enough to paly for them then this kid should have an offer already. I think he is juts as good if not better than Deon Stewart.

[ricepig]

Does Dancy play the same position?

[20gauge]

Hes got one thing you cant teach and thats speed. With Marshall gone would be nice to have another speedster. Marshall only played in a classification higher and you cant deny the kid had the talent to be an SEC player.

Are you not familiar with the purpose of this forum?

[Tim Harris]

I like the home grown kids just as much as the next guy but there are 2 SEC schools whose campus is actually closer to Dancy than we are and neither of them have offered either.  Same thing happened with Dixon.  We aren't the only program choosing to pass on someone.

Good point, we need a change of pace back in a big way. Williams and Collins are good backs but we need someone that can get the to the edge here and there.

[ReversePart34]

I was expecting his times to be in the high 10's, kinda surprised he's a 11.5 100 guy. Dennis Johnson was into the mid 10's in high school I believe and was a good bit bigger. He looks fast on the field but I'm sure it's hard to evaluate him running against Hermitage, Strong, etc. I think he'll be a good player in college regardless, he's a playmaker for sure.

Hermitage has a d1 player on there team... And he is gonna be a good one

I have no doubt the 9th grade time is handheld and the others are f.a.t.

[kodiakisland]

OK now. Fess up.  Which one of you called Bo?

[pondwater jack]

I just watched the JC video on youtube.  That kid is impressive.  I dont care if he plays for Bigelow or Panther Burn.  Good is good.

I'd be more concerned with his 100m times in 2014.  Best time there is an 11.6.   Kid is slow for any position that requires speed.  Especially in the SEC.  I doubt we recruit many running back running in the 11s.  Can he play FB or LB?

There you have it, folks. The only recruiting guru that I would trust with my kids said he's good. If he doesn't walk on here, he would be a huge get for somebody. Especially a Sun Belt school.

To compare, look at Austin Cantrell's time

That makes him look even slower when a 250lb TE is running .12 faster in the 100m.  Although he was probably running closer to 220lbs then.

We need someone with Marshalls speed.  I think he was running 10.9s or better in high school

[HoneyNuttPetrinoos]

If you think Dancy is slow you need to go watch him. He ran past Earle like it wasnt anything and not many can say or do that.  I'll just go by what there coach keeps saying and that is Dancy is the best player I have ever coached. He is 4.4 or 4.5 and that is fast. 

[HoneyNuttPetrinoos]

Lunney was at the JC and Earle game so RD might have something on it soon.

I'm not thinking anything.  I'm looking at track times that were posted by someone else in this thread.  Running an 11.6 is not fast even for 2A in Arkansas.  I have no doubt he is quick and better than the 2A competition he is playing against.  All we ever hear is how we need SEC speed.  An 11.6 100m is not SEC speed at RB.  Is he big enough to play FB?
