isn't he the one who decommited b/c of grades? 

[COCHISE]

They just took Troy off and listed Arkansas as his verbal.

[SquidBilly]

isn't he the one who decommited b/c of grades? 

No that was Shuler unfortunately.

[edt]

This young man is a stud. This is a huge pickup for us. He may come in and be the best running back on campus. I honestly don't see how they can move him to corner. He is to good a back to play D.

[Hambunctious]

Because of grade issues, he is grossly underrated.  His coach says he is on track to qualify now. He really is very good.  I am excited about this guy playing football for us.

Tramaine Thomas is another guy who is underrated. This kid will be a great FB player.  I kinda hate seeing him as a DB, he would be a weapon on offense.

[Wildhog]

I'm reading a lot of really good things about Gary...ESPN apparently thinks pretty highly of him.

[jcrowe01]

well I had never heard of him before now but I'm glad he's decided to be a hog

[AnthroHog]

WPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  How could anyone not be impressed with him after watching his highlight tape?

[Big Daddy]

WPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  How could anyone not be impressed with him after watching his highlight tape?

A Stud!! Plain and simple.

[tendu]

ESPN just updated their website!

[ballinhog]

I would love to see him on defense after watching his tape personally...we need a big hitting safety that flies all over the place...his video reminded me of a Bua or Kennedy

[The_Iceman]

what star rating is he? (and what should he be?)

[BERLY_HOGMAN]

Wow! This kid has to be under 4.5 in the 40... Call we call him "SLASH" that would be cool...

[tophawg19]

sorry defense this kid plays too much like felix not to get a hard look on offense .

[Hoop]

sorry defense this kid plays too much like felix not to get a hard look on offense .

That's exactly what i thought when I watched his video. I would give him a shot a RB before I did defense. IMO this kid is gonna be a steal.

[antiono hogderas]

Big pick for the Hogs, hope we hear more good news before the night is over.

[Zen_Hog]

Oh boy I hope he qualifies. He's got great game speed.

[COCHISE]

ESPN just updated their website!

I really like their new format.

[back2back]

sorry defense this kid plays too much like felix not to get a hard look on offense .

Oh boy I hope he qualifies. He's got great game speed.

He's very shifty and I think he'd be a great addition but I saw him get ran down by a DB (#1) at the start of the youtube link.... before we start comparing him to Felix or DMac, they never got ran down.

[jfisdirtybird]

+1

[trphog]

HOLY COW! A punt returner!

[ballinhog]

Ok I give in im gonna have to go re-watch the video 

[VenturaHog]

I've been saying since I watched his tape, this guy is a 4* talent. He ran a 4.4 at florida's junior camp by the way.

If he's moved to defense, he's probably too short for a safety.

[upperdeck_hawg]

This young man is a stud. This is a huge pickup for us. He may come in and be the best running back on campus. I honestly don't see how they can move him to corner. He is to good a back to play D.

based on their highlights, this kid is better than Curtis. he may not be as fast as Curtis but wow, his cutting ability is amazing.

[The_Hill]

Anyone who has a 10 minute highlight video of them dominating defenses from their senior year deserves a schollie...hands down. Can't wait to see Albert on the field he is my favorite recruit of this class.

[The_Iceman]

how in the world was this guy not recruited by bigger schools?! ive seen 5 star running backs with less impressive videos than that.

[illuzionz14]

The video on youtube looks like it's been modified.  He's got good vision but I don't see superb breakaway speed.  He's a pretty smooth athlete though.  Good pickup for the hogs.

[SquidBilly]

And it looks like he has experience running the Wildhog.  Maybe Petrino can go down to Ole Miss and have Nutt teach that formation to him. 










Yeah right. 

[Hambunctious]

There's a .wmv in the original thread, and it's better.

[ballinhog]

Ok I give in im gonna have to go re-watch the video 

Watched the whole video and this kid is definitely a running back...looks similar to Noel Devine

[PigTimePlayer]

Good hands an acceleration.  I don't know if he has burner speed (just because he got caught from behind a time or two) but looks like he hits top speed quickly.  Great recruit and pick up by the HOGS.

Welcome Albert!!!

[jgphillips3]

If his academic standing weren't so questionable, he would have been locked up by a big school a long time ago.  This kid is a STEAL this late in the game assuming he does go on to qualify.

[Hawgzilla]

He's very shifty and I think he'd be a great addition but I saw him get ran down by a DB (#1) at the start of the youtube link.... before we start comparing him to Felix or DMac, they never got ran down.

                DMac got caught from behind at LSU,lucky for him Casey Dick made a block that sprung hom the rest of the way.........I'm a big Hog Fan,but facts are facts........

[tendu]

For all those who are worried about his grades, read this http://www.nwanews.com/adg/Sports/215358/

[COCHISE]

                DMac got caught from behind at LSU,lucky for him Casey Dick made a block that sprung hom the rest of the way.........I'm a big Hog Fan,but facts are facts........

If DMAC had known he was still being chased that guy would have never got close to him, he had already started cruising into the end zone and trying to flex when he realized the LSU guy was still persuing him.  That being said, #1 in that video did look very, very fast..

[back2back]

                DMac got caught from behind at LSU,lucky for him Casey Dick made a block that sprung hom the rest of the way.........I'm a big Hog Fan,but facts are facts........

He also got caught from behind by Wisconsin, but he had a bum ankle. Maybe this is the case w/ Albert Gary. I'm just saying Felix and Dmac are possibly the greatest two RB's to ever play at Arkansas and to compare recruits to them is premature and frankly ludicrous

[lovetthog1]

All I can say is wow ....... Let the Bobby Petrino era begin... This young man is the real deal.

[Hawgzilla]

If DMAC had known he was still being chased that guy would have never got close to him, he had already started cruising into the end zone and trying to flex when he realized the LSU guy was still persuing him.

           Not to be a jerk,but he had to be at the 30 yard line,so I don't think DMac cruising as you say........Not trying to get into a pissing match,but you need to go back and look at the video..... :razorback:

[kvou812]

Looks like he has great vision to me, sees the field well and follows his blockers well.  Shifty too, though I don't know how much of that side-stepping he can get away with against SEC defenses.  May not be the fastest kid, but seems to have a quick burst... saw a lot of long runs.  Excellent hands as well.

[gohogsgo006]

Reminds me of a bigger Felix

[Hawgzilla]

If DMAC had known he was still being chased that guy would have never got close to him, he had already started cruising into the end zone and trying to flex when he realized the LSU guy was still persuing him.  That being said, #1 in that video did look very, very fast..

           Just went back and looked at the video,DMac got caught at the 27 yard line......I saw no flexin from Dmac,just a suprise that someone had run up on him.........I belive Dmac is the greatest running back to ever play at the UA,BUT HE DID GET RUN DOWN BY #3.........Only a Casey Dick block sprung him to the endzone....... :razorback:

[Papawhog]

back2back, I noticed the same thing on the closing speed of that #1 db. Not taking anything away from Gary..... that was an incredible burst of speed.

[COCHISE]

Hawgzilla, I've seen the video many times and I can assure you that DMAC is not at full speed from about the 25 yd line on, if you watch toward the end of the clip he is actually about to flex when Casey makes the block,  chances are a man flexing his muscle going into the endzone is not at full speed, IMO he was very much cruising when the LSU guy caught him.

[youtube=425,350]SY0HOnA5P0I&feature=related[/youtube]

[back2back]

This has no bearing what so ever but it looks like Dick clips the LSU guy.

[COCHISE]

           Just went back and looked at the video,DMac got caught at the 27 yard line......I saw no flexin from Dmac,just a suprise that someone had run up on him.........I belive Dmac is the greatest running back to ever play at the UA,BUT HE DID GET RUN DOWN BY #3.........Only a Casey Dick block sprung him to the endzone....... :razorback:

Check the 1:13 mark of the video above, DMAC is about to flex when he notices the guy behind him...anyway, back to Albert Gary

[Hawgzilla]

[youtube=425,350]SY0HOnA5P0I&feature=related[/youtube]

             We can both agree on if DMac cruises from the 25 yard line in the pro's he want be flexin in the endzone......Not gonna get in a bitch fight with ya,but Dmac should have taken it to the house and not let up.....We beat the #1 ranked tiggers and between you and I that's all that counts.Thanks for the conversation,and whoever we play next year we should only hope to see many more TD'S.Have a great night 870RZR and be safe out there...... :razorback:

[hogsmaster]

           Just went back and looked at the video,DMac got caught at the 27 yard line......I saw no flexin from Dmac,just a suprise that someone had run up on him.........I belive Dmac is the greatest running back to ever play at the UA,BUT HE DID GET RUN DOWN BY #3.........Only a Casey Dick block sprung him to the endzone....... :razorback:

I agree with RZR.  The LSU player did catch up to him, but if you compared Dmac on that run with some other long runs, he definitely looked like he was slowing up and not "sprinting full throttle" on that play.

[bootzilla]

On the D-Mac run, I don't see a flex... I see a thumb issuing blocking instructions to Dick. As if to say "you better get this guy or he's going to get me."

[hogcoots]

I didn't like the Gary highlight video...he scored so fast it just messed me up
