Guys, when posting about recruits and players in general, please post first and last names. This takes the guesswork out of who is being discussed.
Maybe help with Ringo? Maybe not? Or maybe the tOSU mod is full of it considering 247 has him 100% to tOSU
Since then, The Fong (Steven Witfong) and several others have put in crystal balls in Texas' favor. Witfong, for those that don't know, rarely puts in a speculative CB, he waits until things are pretty certain. I will say, he hasn't been as great at this recently.
All that to say, despite near certainty recently that he was tOSU bound, things have changed significantly. Proximity to home and perhaps other RBs that tOSU is recruiting may be playing into this.
I am with Clob on this one.....this bunch(meaning us) has shown little ability to stay on topic of the thread at any time, so no wonder we might not know who is being talked about....I dont know about Clob, but my attention span does not allow me to remember the title of a thread past the first post anyway.....
But the abbreviation was in the first post...
I'm just pulling y'alls legs. I do agree with MM, abbreviations can be hard to follow particularly for folks who don't follow the recruits closely or aren't up on Longhorn sports message board lingo (BOMC, tOSU, Uncle Red, etc.) so I try to avoid them for the most part.
Plus I think I was still drunk this morning. The beer Wench ran into the laundry Wench last night and I had to drink profusely.
The subject player we are discussing in this thread looks like a stud to me in that 5 star challenge video
Check out his Junior senior highlights here for some real football action. He's a smooth runner, makes quick cuts and gets north and south in a hurry. Has speed to outrun defensive backs. Good power and balance. Certainly has the tools of a 5 star RB.
What Texas HS football equivalent does he play at in Arizona? Obviously his testing and camp numbers compare with anyone in the country, but I am always leery of a guy who on film just blows everyone away. Is it because he is that good, or is it because the competition is bad?
This is not trying to be an indictment of Bijan Robinson as he looks to have all the tools.

Not sure about his high school size but he sure did make a lot of really good football players at the 5'star challenge look very silly. I've said it in the past, but watching how fluid he moves reminds me of Marcus Allen and dare I say his name...OJ.
I isn't going to run over anyone, and he is going to have to adapt his game to the college level, but in the Big 12 he is going to be really dangerous as defenses aren't used to a back of his caliber.

You can tell he has pretty good vision. Finds the hole, squares his shoulders and gets up field.
not saying he is even close, but when you watched Earl in HS making em look silly.....then college doing the same...then the NFL doing the same....kinda like he thought there was another League out there and he was trying to be a top draft choice....
sometimes a guy is just good
My comment about the competition was due more to a lack of ability on my part to look at film and be able to tell if a dude is a dude or not. That is why I was asking about the competition. I knew based on the film, that Robinson was the best player on the field, but I couldn't tell all the ins and outs of things such as his ability to cut, bend, field vision etc.
Everything I have seen on him from all of the camps and things of that nature, it doesn't matter what level of competition he is going against, he is going to be a dude. So hopefully he commits to the good guys on Thursday.

I don't know what to say
WOW
GREAT
I didn't follow his recruiting that closely last time I checked he was a UCLA lean but that was a few months ago. Take that
tOSU
little 10
and especially 24/7
I'll bet you anything they will drop his ranking now that he's going to TX instead of tOSU
F em all. Bijan Robinson is going to be a horn.

I like what I see with Robinson and with a yr or 2 in the UT S&C program he's going to look like a Greek statue. It's waaaay early to make any judgments on this guy but I'm thinking potentially a slightly faster Ced Benson type of back.
From the look of all the other kids sizes & the crowd size of the games in his videos I'd guess he plays in a 3-4a league comparatively. Yeah I know, very scientific method used here.
My understanding is that Arizona football basically has a handful of schools that concentrate all the top talent. I would be curious to see his film against some of the other top schools - that would be pretty telling.I like what I see with Robinson and with a yr or 2 in the UT S&C program he's going to look like a Greek statue.

You guys can take this anyway you want. But it just dawned on me. This kid is from Tuscon, AZ. Isn't that where university of Arizona is located? Isn't that where Kevin Sumlin is coaching? Speaking for me that's hilarious.
I've done a little digging. He plays 4A ball in Az, they go up to a 6A division. His stats are pretty absurd which may be partly due to competition (it almost always is at the high school level to a degree). The most telling game is probably the state championship against Saguaro - a team that has won state 5 years in a row now. Bijan looked human but even though his team was outmatched (lost 16 to 42) he put up 155 yds on 27 carries for a 5.7 YPC. By far his lowest of the season but it puts into context what he can do against even top competition.I like what I see with Robinson and with a yr or 2 in the UT S&C program he's going to look like a Greek statue.
