‘23 TN RB DeSean Bishop (Tennessee commit)

[dyllisvol42]

How does everyone think he compares to Devein Young?

Watched them both in high school. Bishop is bigger, maybe a step faster. Young was more versatile in my opinion. I do think Bishop could be a solid contributor in a couple years here.

Maybe switch to cornerback Kid is a good player

To slow to play corner. If he comes here it will be to play RB.

I thought that was the poop emoji.

You're not wrong...

Did Coach Heuple get LittleVol to sign off?

Gonna do a Microsoft teams meeting and watch him run his 40 in the early morning on video.

I'll let you know my decision after his announcement.

Don't want to steal the kids moment

I’ve heard that said before, i thought it might’ve been on one of the VQ podcast but i may be mistaken

Idk why but his reported 4.55 40 time doesn’t scare me off. Kamara ran a 4.56 in the combine. I think Bishops a versatile RB, and I think he has good lateral quickness. I hope he ends up with us and he proves to be a great local RB and a great story!

Kamara was 25 pounds bigger, an insane athlete, and had/has great explosion, cutting ability, receiving ability and vision to offset that 40 time

The best attribute Kamara has IMO is his ability to maintain his balance after contact. It is really impressive watching him bounce off tackles

I thought Bishop was like 195-200 lbs? If so, that's the exact same size as Kamara in high school.

He was responding to when kamara ran 4.55 at combine, he was up to 215 or so then. 4.55 at 215 isn’t looked down upon too much

That's also comparing a 22 year old with 4 years of college strength and conditioning to an 18 year old high school kid. A 4.55 in high school isn't elite, but by no means is it slow.

You really think Bishop is gonna be that much slower if he adds 15 pounds to be the same as Kamara? I’m not saying he’s the same caliber of athlete, but I am saying that sometimes 40 times aren’t the best judge of how good a RB is.

This is also correct. He can only get better in a collegiate strength and conditioning program.

Extremely overrated measurement for a running back after high school.

Nope, just thought I was clarifying was @allvolrecruiting said. No need to get all flustered

I think lateral quickness, versatility aka pass catching out of the backfield, and vision make a great RB.

Don’t know why you think I’m flustered lol. I’m just talking back and forth with a bit of friendly debate.

10 yard and 20 yard splits are much more important than the 40.

 

[CNeagleVolFan]

Honestly coming out of high school Jabari Small had similar measurables to Bishop. I think Bishop is quicker than small though.

He was referencing Kamara at the combine so I used his current nfl height/weight

Didn’t mean it like that but I wouldn’t compare Bishop to Kamara style wise at all

Not to mention, the greatest balance I've seen in a very long time. Kamara has Walter Payton balance. Strong like Walter, too...not nowhere near as mean as Walter, tho.

Can't be slower than who they've been trotting out there.
