Karan Higdon

[Wildhog]

We need to be talking about him.  Many of you know who he is, but he could be on our commitment list sooner than later.  Dude runs at ludicrous speed.  Check out his highlights:

And keep in mind, he's doing this against 6A Florida competition.

cool...so I know he's a definite target of ours but what makes you think he could be a commit soon?

Visiting this month with his mother.  Says if he likes it there's a good chance he flips.

[MH04]

Karan said if the visit goes as planned, theres an 80% chance he flips

[Bubba's Bruisers]

There's been hint at him flipping to us for a while.  Very nice prospect.

he's got some wheels....  would be a great catch...

[muddhogger]

We need him...another Jo Jo Robinson type of player. Big time playmaker.

Hard to pass up a chance to play with J'Dinkalage Morgoone, though.

Loved that skit.

[BrassNunchucks]

You know, I'm just going to be honest. I know he's a fast guy, but I've looked at the tape several times and I don't really see the explosive speed he's listed as having. By all reports he's a really good student, has a great attitude, and his highlight film shows he's a really, really solid back. Would definitely be a good commitment.

I just wonder if the whole speed thing is being oversold a bit. When I look at highlights of guys like Ronald Jones, Nyheim Hines and to a lesser extent Patrick Carr, the speed jumps off the screen. Not really the case for me here.

Not meant as a negative towards Higdon, just wondering if the reported time matches up with reality.

He's doing it against much faster competition.  I'll take the S Florida prospect over the Tejas prospect 9 times out of 8.

[lumphog]

What about Nyheim Hines?

Hines is my #1, but I'd take Higdon in a heartbeat....he plays against better comp. & as for the speed, he never got caught by a DB in the vid.....I'd be happy

[Country Stylz]

I like Carr better. Any chance we take both?

[Uncommon]

There probably is.  We're definitely signing one more back in addition to Rawleigh Williams III.

[secneahog]

Running back U

[tophawg19]

I too like Carr better . he sees the field better to me . Higdon seems like he runs into the defensive guys rather that avoiding them. I'll be happy with either one . You can add west in the mix as well . We are in on a ton of great RB's . Any of them can play major college ball and hold their own.

He's fast as hell. You know the Db's from the other schools are going to be quick and look at the separation he's getting on those guys. I want Higdon and Carr both!!!!

[hawgsmellgud]

South Florida is the sec of high school ball, and if he's doing that against them he will be just fine.

[Dominicanhog]

Would we take both if we could?  I like Higdon's speed but Carr looks really good on film.

[ARtillahog]

I've read from pay sites, the Hogs will take 2 maybe 3 if the right prospect wants to join.  IMO I take Nyheim Hines bc he's so versatile, almost a Percy Harvin type.

[Wildhog]

Wouldn't surprise me if we take two more RB's. 

[ARtillahog]

With what the Hogs have offered and who actually has high interest they might be able to take 6 total.

It definitely seems like we're going to get some good ones, no matter what.

[Hawgzinbowlz]

He's outrunning angles and leaving the DBs in the dust. Florida DBs are likely fast.
Nice quickness and when it's time to head North/South, he hits the hole.
Here's to hoping Coach Shannon and Thomas can get a commitment.

He runs over and past guys... His skill set is beastly...

[ArkansasBread3]

He reminds me of Michael Smith

lol good stuff, A. A. Ron Balakay.

[secneahog]

He reminds me of Michael Smith

Lil bit yes. MS was 5'6 182 as a senior in college.
Karan is 5'10 190 as a junior in High School.

4.40 40 speed is the same though.

I'm not adding anything to the discussion, just wanted to say thanks for the Spaceballs reference. I needed a good laugh.

That cut at around 3:03......wow.

That cut at around 3:03......wow.

Yeah, it's not often that you see a middle linebacker contemplate his future in the sport in the middle of a play.

[Huds_HawgTide]

Lol

[secneahog]

Ready to see him call those Hogs.

[nwahogfan1]

Wow,  Sign that Kid up.   Would be a great get.

[Oklahawg]

Three RBs in this class after 1 last class is a given.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Three RBs in this class after 1 last class is a given.

Yes, an absolute minimum of 2.  If we end up with Hill, Reed and Gragg, then the headline of this class will be offensive skill players.

[Pulled(PP)pork]

If someone says theyre not impressed, then they don't know what the hell they are looking for.

That LB just completely quit chasing after that cut.  Of course, it's hard to run when your legs have been broken off at the ankles!

C'mon man, the only tool this kid lacks is a CAPE.

He's going full speed by his 4th step and is always seperating from the defense. He can stop and start at will and has track speed. He's a prototypical change-of-pace back and when you can take one of these guys in a class, you take one 10 out of 10 times. But you already knew that.

[pondwater jack]

Huge get if we can land him...

Gotta get him on campus.
