'12 GA RB Imani Cross (Nebraska Commit)

[LynxVol]

I saw him walk in before kickoff. He's huge for a RB.

I saw him sitting in the recruits' section. He is jacked.

Yep. He was almost as wide in the shoulders as O'Brien. At first glance I almost thought he was a lineman, then I realized who he was. Beast.

 

[Vol1SG]

O&W, coming from you that is quite a statement. You bring a lot of common sense and info to the board, meaning you rarely exaggerate. He does look like a beast.

 

[GLDunlap]

Put on a few pounds...Is he over weight?

Check out this clip for the answer. I think this was probably 2-3 weeks old now.

Physically he reminds me of Jay Graham but he doesn't have anywhere near the speed that Graham had.

Thanks for the clip GL. The kid is supersized. Did you see the size of his hands when he shook the reporters hand. Huge.

We need a big punishing/violent runner that will break tackles and run over defenders. I am liking what I see from Lane lately but we need the bruisers also.

He's a one cut, plant and go runner that gets downhill fast. That's exactly what Dooley and Chaney are looking for in this offense. He's a 3 yrd minimum guy every touch.

Big kid, but seemed very humble and intelligent. I love the fact that he held his hand out to shake the reporter's hand.

Dude is a monster. I hope he stays at RB, we need a guy to knock some people flat on their ass...

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Thinking fullback.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Possibly the next Troy Fleming though?

 

[Voodoomonkey]

Maybe more of a Greg Jones type of role for him.

 

[SPEDVoL14]

RB--if either was the fullback, I think Hill is more suited for that role

Hill is smaller than Cross, he would have to add more weight to be a FB.

IMO both Cross & Hill stay at RB, Dooley wants a RB that can get 25-30 carries a game & wear down the defense.

JMO, I like Cross more as the violent RB type

 

[LawsonVFL]

Spencer Ware IMO.

This. After they come in and they evaluate them both at camp, I think the better one plays next year and the other redshirts.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

maybe one of them can be a poor man's Ron Dayne in his glory years at Wisconsin. Which I would def take.

 

[LynxVol]

Spencer Ware IMO.

Coming out of HS, this kid is bigger than Ware was.

 

[mooreaj21]

Idc who either of them resemble as long as one of them comes in puts on foot in the dirt cuts & lays a LB & DB on their @$$ & gets 3-4 yards a carry.

We need someone when at the end of the game you look up & he's got 20-25 carries 100+ yards & a TD or two.

And the other teams LBs and Safetys with dazed and defeated looks in their eyes.

Bama has a 245 lb RB that went off against Ole Miss last week after T Richardson had done his damage. if you saw any of this guy play then you know what Dooley is looking for. If you didn't see him, then you probably will this saturday. Cross and Hill both stay at RB.

You mean like poor ol' Randolph last Saturday? This is exactly the kind of runner we need in the SEC ("stature guy" as CDD calls them).

 

[Nationdom]

Spencer Ware IMO.

I love the way Ware runs. flat out runs people over and punishes safeties and corners, never goes down on first contact. I believe Dooley thinks cross can do the same for us.

I was scared for the safety of our defenders.
