.. I really like his determination to get an offer. His playing style reminds me of Mike Hart from Michigan, which I knew all too well.

[sickboy]

I think the Mike Hart reference is a good one, but he seems faster. Also, I live not far from Sherman Oaks Notre Dame and academically it's one of the best schools in the greater Los Angeles area. Sign those types of kids up any day of the week. Their leadership will be awesome.

Picture confused me.  I was thinking, "why is Notre Dame playing the Vikings?"

[hawgsmellgud]

So if he called us and asked for an offer, then got that offer, should he not commit?

[CallThoseHawgs]

He would be a very nice get.. Heres his profile:

We also offered his Teammate QB Kelly Hilinski about a day after we offered him, maybe a package deal? Profile:

Wow, says a lot for your program when the kid calls you.

At least you got confused because of that.

I was thinking

"Clearly that kid already signed with ND, and look they're playing the Vikings, seems reasonable"

I'm not very high on him. he's tiny and to be that small is not as fast as you might think. Im' not saying he's not a good player but not worth this early a commit for a RB spot.  and i'm with the other ugy, it's one thing if he called and said look i want to be a hog give me an offer and i will commit and bam, but you make it nkown you are interested and then you dont' commit? what kinda stuff is that.

Try and think about the positives before you stereotype a smaller player.  There are advantages and disadvantages.

No, he's not as fast as I thought...he's faster! Are you kidding me?! I'm not sure what video/videos you watched but a couple of times he looks like he was shot out of a cannon. 10.55 in the 100m is NOT slow. Did you watch any of his track videos? Just because he doesn't jitterbug around a bunch in his highlight video doesn't make him any less fast. Actually, it says a lot about his discipline and the vision he has to run the lanes that were blocked for him.

As far as getting an offer and not committing, you do realize that recruiting is all about marketing yourself and getting your name out there, right? These kids aspire to play in all-star games at the end of the season and number of quality offers plays a role in that whether you like it or not. Muhammad is the kind of talent that can shop around for the right fit, both on and off the field. I find his approach assertive and mature beyond his years.

I was really just asking. I think that it is cool that any player in the top 150, especially one from Cali, would call and ask. Hell if we offered I want him.

I know you weren't answering my question, but you did answer my question.

Haha - Anytime! haha

[Chief Hog]

Reminds me of Trindon Holliday, how many times did he kill us on punt and kick off returns?

[Nate_hawg]

Wow... It's one of the lead stories on the front page of yahoo right now!

[Greyhands]

Watching his video he explodes past the defenders kid has some wheels.

Realizing of course that this is a highlight film and that doesn't inlcude every single play...more film needed as in total games played, the thing that impresses me the most is the quickness of this kid with regard to change of direction, he runs hard for a smaller guy and rarely falls backward when hit (plus yards when carrying the ball) and of course, his overall speed.

This kid, with development and maturity at the college level, could easily carry 200 lbs. and not lose a step. Probably a "slot" kind of player rather than playng behind the QB, but this kid could be a major addition as a playmaker.

[BERLY_HOGMAN]

At least you got confused because of that.

I was thinking

"Clearly that kid already signed with ND, and look they're playing the Vikings, seems reasonable"

*scroll*

And the way the Vikings were playing I could see Notre Dame winning...

[rogersvillemohog]

The thing that impresses me is that he's running fast, but it looks like he's looking for his blocks, then you look down at his legs and they're running 1000 MPH. Great talent. Reminds me of a smaller Dennis Johnson.

[mandtandk]

mmmmmmmmm....Megyn Kelly

[SemperFi]

He reminds me of Michael Smith. Blazing speed and tough as nails. I hope we land him. WPS!
