The district is pretty terrible. I'm curious to see him play against some decent comp in the playoffs

That's your response to the truth? You've already admitted that you're bias.

I've seen lots of kids put up insane numbers in high school that aren't even offered to play FCS. Just because he tears up a bunch of bad schools doesn't make him SEC caliber. If he were, he'd have an SEC offer. Maybe he'll end up with an SEC offer but lower your ego a bit and quit assuming you're a better scouter than 12 different coaching staffs in the SEC. Clearly there is a reason his only offer is Toledo

And you know what? I hope he does get a better offer than Toledo or makes the most of his time at Toledo. I don't want to put the kid down but it's annoying when people admit they're bias and then get offended when other people have a different opinion

My "whatever" response was the negativity around the comment. Not that I disagree with the fact the conference is weak. However, regardless of the weak conference, he is an amazing player who is strong, fast, has great vision and has great moves. If he was playing better talent, he would have twice the carries and would probably have close the same number of rushing yards. You can't deny 14 yards a carry and 26 TD's only playing 1 half a game is fantastic no matter what the caliber of team.

Have you seen him play? If not, then you are not qualified to comment. Furthermore, this has nothing to do with my ego. I simply said that he is doing amazing this year and that I believe he COULD play for a lower caliber SEC team. Notice I said could - will he get an offer, I have no idea. I never assumed I was better than 12 different coaching staffs in the SEC. But Kentucky has been recruiting him, so that is enough for me.

Based on your responses, I'm assuming you haven't seen him play. You are just assuming he is not SEC caliber talent because of the numbers he has put up against weaker teams (all in the first half). That is a faulty assumption in my opinion. Also, my bias is I want him to play well and get a good offer - not that I can't see things clearly - another poor assumption on your part. Did you play college football? I did and know what good talent is. Time will tell if he gets an offer or not. Let's hope he does.

And for the record, I get annoyed when people chime in for the sole purpose of putting people down. I wasn't offended by a different opinion - just get tired of posters like yourself that spew negativity every chance you get and never have anything positive to say.

Mobley led Powell over Central last night with 214 yards and 3 TDs on just 14 carries.

His regular-season numbers: 133 carries for 1856 yards (14.0 YPC) and 29 TDs. Only one team, Austin-East, held him to under 10 yards per carry.

Devrins numbers were better then that.

Kids might not have a freakishly phenomenal physique but his instinct and running is clear. Maybe its academics. Does have a cool name. Might be a diamond in the rough.

Nope, Young's regular-season stats last year: 164 carries for 1769 yards (10.8 YPC) and 21 TDs.

Mobley's numbers alone do not make him an SEC-caliber prospect, of course, even though he may very well be one. Regardless, he's been extremely impressive this year.

For those that say Mobley can't play SEC football (Orange Peel), he made Cody Blanc look silly on a few runs last night. He had TD runs of 40, 46, and 6 yards and each one went right by Cody.

Don't get me wrong, I was very impressed with Cody and this is not a knock on him - he played a great game defensively. This is just to point out he went up against a SEC commitment and dominated him.

Imagine what his numbers would be if he didn't play teams like Campbell Co, Clinton, Halls, and Hardin Valley. That district is terrible.

Probably much better. His numbers against Oak Ridge (20 carries 253 3 TD's).

Oak Ridge has got a pretty good ball club. Maryville supposively has a pretty good running back as well, but Oak Ridge held him to 11 carries for 98 yards 0 TD's.

Central has an athletic team, but they are a pretty sorry team.

To answer your question there was several plays where it was Blank vs Mobley because Blank plays safety and Mobley broke into the secondary almost every time he touched the ball, so yes he did make Blank look pretty bad more than a few times that game.

Exactly, I thought this was a decent comparison since there were times it was Mobley against Blanc in the secondary. One of the plays Mobley broke free and Blanc was about 3 or so yards away in the open field. I did not see a tremendous difference in speed as Mobley raced to the end zone. Blanc barely got a hand on him after about 20 yards as he went into the end zone.

You sir, are someone who is making a blind assessment on a football player based upon past players from East Tennessee with good statistics and the talent level of the teams he is playing.

From what I have heard he does not have an offer from these schools yet is because they are waiting to see if he gets into any more trouble this off-season before they make any commitments to him and if he doesn't then I know for sure one SEC school will be offering him.

Dyshawn is one of those rare football players you don't get to see much coming out of high school in East Tennessee. Physically he is already built like an SEC running back and he has increased his accelleration and speed quite a bit from last year. I can gaurantee that all of you who are bashing Mobley will be the same people saying Dooley was an idiot, why didnt he offer this kid. If he ends up playing for Mississippi State or Kentucky (who are recruiting him pretty hard regardless to what you think) you all will regret it a few years down the road.

Dyshawn was a standout in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl combine for juniors. He was first team honorable mention as a running back, which means he was obviously one of the best out of the top underclassman running backs in the country who attended that camp.

Dyshawn was a standout in almost every camp he attended this year especially those of Kentucky and Mississippi State. He earned All-Camp honors among the running backs at Mississippi State camp this past summer. (Was asked to visit MSU a few weeks ago)

Before you make an assessment on a player take some time and actually watch the kid play or atleast do some research because if not it can kind of make you look ignorant and arrogant.

Clemson and Cincinatti are also showing a great deal of interest in Dyshawn too, but ultimately he wants to play for an SEC school, which he will, whether that SEC school is TN or not no one knows. TN has been in contact with him and the coaching staff though, but some other SEC schools are showing a lot more interest.

Mobley is impressive. I watched him when he embarrased Campbell County for about a quarter. He had like 80 something yards at the half and probably touched the ball a couple of times. I don't think he played any of the 2nd half but he will get some decent competition going into the playoffs. I think the guy at the game said only Toledo had offered him but he had interest from State and Kentucky but they hadn't offered yet. He's got really good speed but I say wait to see what he does with some tougher defenses. I really thought Oak Ridge would give them a decent game.

I say take a chance on him. He's a local so if he goes somewhere else and becomes Randall Cobb Dooley wont be able to live it down.Also,who's the next dynamic game breaker RB on our roster? I heard Texas A&M grabbed our #1 RB prospect.Who else you gonna get? Bryan Kimbrow? Oh wait Vandy out recruited us on that one.LOL

There is a pretty good chance, that Powell will meet Memphis East somewhere in the playoffs and people will get to see arguably the two best running backs in the state square off against each other.

As I have seen both of these backs play they bring different things to the table, Kimbrow brings 4.3 speed and is shifty, slippery guy to tackle, to where as Mobley brings power, speed, and field vision to the game and his hard to bring down. Vandy is on Mobley pretty hard too. They attended his game a few weeks back, and invited him to visit the campus. Vandy may be wanting both Kimbrow and Mobley because how versatile they're running game would be through the two. We'll have to see how it plays out.

Toney rushed for 2358 yards and a state record 50 TDs his senior year. During the regular season he ran for 1630 yards (9.9 YPC) and 35 TDs.

They both have great high school stats but that's where the comparison ends. Just because Toney had great stats but had to walk on at UT doesn't mean Mobley is just like him. Mobley is pushing 215 maybe even 220 now while Jaron Toney was maybe 160 in high school. I'm not trying to convince anyone that Mobley is a SEC caliber running back because I don't honestly know however I think he is an SEC caliber athlete and if he doesn't make it at RB I think he could make a great linebacker. I just wish people would quit making stupid irrelevant comparisons about a player they have never seen play and know absolutely nothing about. Anyone that hasn't seen Mobley play do yourself a favor and go see Powell play in the playoffs.

Dooley grabbed Devrin Young last year when Young only had one offer. Maybe they are waiting to see him play a full game against better competition in the playoffs if they make it very far. In my uninformed opinion, he looks as good as anyone left on the board
