RB Jaamal Berry (official thread)

[alpo]

Thanks for the heads up, 45. This guy IS business, w/a plan, a system, he's organized, he knows exactly what he's going to do to arrive where he needs to be. No doubt in my mind that he will make the right decision for him...when the time comes. My fingers are crossed.

By The Bank. Berry will be at Ohio State's spring game, and talks about what he likes about the Ohio State program. Distance will not be a factor.

Berry sounds very very interested...I just wonder where he falls on the board, between he, Hall, and Hyde...

Berry's game looks a lot like Mike Hart's, same quicks jus faster, more explosive.

So he runs faster than most senior citizens is what you're saying?

Sorry, back to Jaamal.

Miami camp recap... Berry scorched the turf with a 4.31, fastest time there.

I think Berry is my most wanted player in the nation. I think he'll be a star where ever he goes, and I really hope it's Ohio State.

If his grades and test scores are in order, there's no reason we shouldn't be putting on the full court press IMO.

I think he has every quality you could look for in a back. Speed, good size, vision, tough runner, above average hands. Complete package IMO.

Him and Hyde would be a heckuva running back class, and I'm hoping it happens.

[BuckTwenty]

Wow. That is absolutely smokin'. I have heard that the hang-up with Jaamal is his grades, but he is going to great lengths to get his grades in order. I can only hope they will be good enough to pass tOSU's admissisons.

I wish we had offered him prior to this camp, because he is about to hit the big stage.

Berry is certainly no Mike Hart. As the Miami combine shows, Berry has explosiveness and breakaway speed that MH can only dream of. If he is a qualifier, I hope the staff pulls out all the stops to get him up to OSU.

Jus b/c i compared him to mike hart does not mean I think he is going to be the next "mike hart". I think his running style is similar (cutting on a dime, shifting in and out of traffic, deceptive power, and making people miss) to hart's. Berry's speed and explosiveness puts him on another level.

U mix that combination with Hyde's raw power and speed....lol I would hate to be any team who had to play us.
You're right tho if Berry is a qualifier, I hope the staff pulls out all the stops to get him in this class.

I still don't see the Mike Hart comparisons, but I know one thing, w're gonna have a serious battle on our hands to land this kid after running that 40 time, and being at that Miami camp in general. He was singled out as the best RB prospect at the event. The Big 3 in FL, as well as the SEC have to be drooling trying to land this kid. It's gonna be great to see if we can get him!
