haha AJ Hawk? Who is he? Oh by the way. You dont send a speed back up the middle Jr. Great football strategy. I am simply saying that CR has the abilities despite the doubters

LHS, I suggest you read the forum rules before you burn some bridges...

yeah 21, stop being so conservative... 
back to Chris Rainey...does Noel Devine transferring out of state open the door for this kid to be the top back in the state in '07? |

I think so. I just dont know if people will respect him because he is not a RB that can go up the gut a lot. He is very durable, fast, and smart and he can break tackles. The problem is his size. All the kida from Lakeland run into that problem. LHS always turns out top notch talent but they are never "fit" to their position.

I don't get why everyone claim Devine to be so much better. You guys do realize that Devin actually averaged LESS yards per carry than Rainey right? Keep in mind that all you've seen are highlight tapes. I know Devine's highlight tapes might be more entertaining(he did face terrible tackling defenders), but keep in mind that despite how much more impressive he seemed on the highlights, he must have been at LEAST that much more pedestrian in games not shown on the highlights in order to average LESS yards per carry than Rainey.

You have to take into account the offensive lines of the to respective backs also, Devines line seemed poor while Rainey's seemed more polished.

Rainey also faces much better competition. Keep in mind that Devine would've never been able to break so many tackles as a 5'8 160lb guy if the tacklers weren't absolutely horrible. Rainey's tacklers were way better, and he used pretty much purely his instincts and speed to get that 12 ypc average while Devine relied very heavily on tacklers missing extremely easy tackles(some as simple as reaching out and grab his jersey).

lets just say this... they are BOTH phenomenal athletes, and I think we would be more than ecstatic to get either of them to come to Ohio State. I am yet to be convinced that we have an ice cubes chance in hell for either of them...
