a look inside the numbers shows how impressive Golden was last year.

Greater Miami Conference

you will notice that Golden was hurt in weeks 10 and 11 and still tried to play.

Sycamore, as a team, averaged 38 rushing attempts and 16 passing attempts per game. Golden only averaged 18 carries a game. Not too shabby.

If I had to compare him to somebody I have personally seen run on the high school level, I'd say, physically, he reminds me of a bigger, faster version of Mister Simpson.

Don't let his video fool you. Golden is very, very fast. he just moves so effortlessly (many in this thread have used the word 'smooth') that it doesn't look like he's moving that fast. I like this kid a ton. But I do agree that it could be a battle with Cincinnati.

Also, Golden did play DB as a Sophomore and I have read some 'gurus' say he could still be a DB. I don't see it. The kid is as natural a runner as Cincy has produced in a few years. (DeShawn Winn). All of this is just my opinion of course.

I live about 5-10 minutes from his school (I live in Kenwood for anybody that knows Cincinnati). I might have to go check him out as I haven't heard anything about him until now and I follow recruiting fairly closely.

really? wow....Many in Sycamore thought Golden should have gotten more touches than Latessa did when B.G was a sophomre because he could fly and already had a senior's body. As a Sohphomre against Colerain in the 06 playoffs he caught 2 passes for fifty yards and ran the ball 6 times for 30+...but those were his only touches in the game. I'm not so sure Sycamore doesn't hang in the game if they feed him the ball. Latessa, God love him, just didn't have the breakaway speed and power to out run the Colerain defense. Go and check him out if you get the chance. Sycamore is a program on the rise and will be a serious contender in 5 years if Datillo stays.

Nice video-I like how he is very comfortable running in traffic, w/out being a straight ahead bruiser. Kinda reminds me of Ahman Green, stylistically. Does anyone know if he now favors the Buckeyes, after the offer?

i live in the eastgate area, and found out that golden went to sycamore, so i thought it would be easy to go see him play this year. come to find out they play the high school team in my area week one! how convenient!

Very fast and seems to "glide" effortlessly?

Sounds a lot like Robert Smith to me. How does his running style compare to Mr. Smith's? I loved to watch that guy run the ball.

Bud has four total offers and does not confirm the rumored Buckeye offer. He does say he grew up as a fan of tOSU but is in no hurry.

That's not a surprise. Lots of Buckeye fans in the Sycamore/Kenwood area. Heck, the Aviator fight song is 'Across the Field'.
