This Ryan Clark looks like a legit prospect. Not quite as good as Brandon Wegher, Mike Trumpy, Tyler Gaffney, or Ryan Swope, but a legit Div. IA prospect none the less. I give Jimmy Chitwood credit for posting about Brandon Wegher. I had noticed his profile on Scout.com a couple months ago, but hadn't looked at his footage to realize how good he was. Brandon may be the best white RB in this class. Swope and Gaffney and Trumpy are close seconds. I was very impressed with Trumpy's agility, just as much as Wegher's.Edited by: ToughJ.Riggins

TJR,


Some very interesting things are going on...


At first, I wasn't so sure that Tyler Gaffney was White (because he was on the Rivals100 as a RB; I didn't want to get my hopes up, and he looked dark-skinned in his Scout pics), but then...... he "suddenly" became a Fullback on Rivals and some people have him as a possible Linebacker --- so I had to do a quick search.

Definitely looks Caucasian.

Interesting, huh? Scout still has him as a 3 star RB.

Funny, you beat me to it Deadlift! I just posted that about Gaffney in his thread. I didn't know you had already posted this. I knew a white RB in the Rivals 100 would never happen. From now I'm calling them "Caucasian Rivals".

Edited to Add: My theory is if Gaffney wasn't half as talented as he is they would have kept him listed as a RB, b/c he never would be recruited by Div. IA to play RB. But since he is so good and in the top 100 they are slotting him to his "proper role". Can't have a dominant white runner in the top 100. ***k Rivals! Edited by: ToughJ.Riggins
