  Is he expected to sign with Utah? Looks like a great prospect and has visited Utah, Oregon, and Michigan State.

  He looks really good, I hope he stays home and goes to Utah. We have an inside track to him, since he is a Whittingham cousin…

  Don’t think he’s sign and send. His cousins played right out of high school. Can’t remember why his one cousin, Siaki(?), transferred out of Utah a few years back.

  His offer list is crazy and includes half the Ivy League.

  I’d say he’s 90% going to Utah. Can’t see him going anywhere else unless Oregon just blew him away, but I think he ends up at Utah. But at this time last year everyone was predicting Tufele to USC and then in the span of a week it all flipped. Now Cravens isn’t as talented so I don’t think Oregon is goin all in on him, but to me, I think he unds up at Utah. (Tufele to USC still hurts…. Lol)

    Agreed. From last weekend I think we land Cravens, Pututau and we have a really good chance at stealing Manoa from the Bruins. 4 Star DT out of St Francis. We’ll see but that is one possible surprise to look for. Fingers crossed.

      Completely agree with him. His OV blew him away from what I’ve heard/read. I’ve just had a lingering feeling about him for some time now. Hoping we can steal him and Enis from Penn State. If we could get those 2 that would be awesome. I don’t think we land Sewell, but if we can finish the class with Pututau, Cravens, Enis, Manoa, Cameron Phillips (Safety out of Texas), Brumfield/Thomas (RB’s, either one works) I will really like that class. Then fill in 1 or 2 more lower lever 3 star playerins like Jonny Fanaika. We have 14 commits now and with Singleton and Hughes gone, that opens up 2 more scholarships to where I think we could take 20 or 21 instead of 18 or 19.

        what do you think about Brumfield? He just looks like a Utah RB to me. He catches the the ball out of the backfield well too.

        Similar to Moss. Big, powerful back. Both move well for their size and both are bruisers, but can makes some moves. I’m hoping we can land him so he can replace Moss in two years.

        I agree with that.
        
        Devin Brumfield – Bigger back and runs with a great low center of gravity. It’s obvious that he is a LOAD to bring down. My only knock and concern with him is his speed. It’s obvious he’s not a burner and if he was he’d have a fewer more elite offers from schools and a 4 star guy and if he had ELITE speed, he’d be 4/5 star borderline, IMO. Look at Leonard Fournette, big strong physical back, but according to next gen stats, his top speed is 22 miles an hour. He has that type of running style, he just doesn’t have that speed. Now, he can work on it and while he won’t get elite speed, with our conditioning, I think he could get faster. Good example of this is Zack Moss. Big, strong, physical runner, and I can tell from his Freshman year he’s gotten faster and if he can improve on that more and can get running away from people he’ll be an NFL back. One thing that stands out to me is Brumfield plays HARD and his one cut is naaaaaaastttyyyy. Look for him to make an impact in a couple years if we land him.
        
        Zidane Thomas – He is faster than Brumfield. He doesn’t have elite speed, but he is faster. He doesn’t go into contact as much as Brumfield (Brumfield is like a bowling ball and knocks people over). He is quick to hit the hole and is decisive. He is an in between the tackles runner and more of a straight line runner. Brumfield is more agile, while being bigger, but slower. I like him as a back but don’t think he’d be a special type of back.
        
        (I also think TJ Green from last year is going to be in the mix as THE guy after Moss is gone)
        
        All in all, Brumfield is the one for me, especially if he can get like a 4.5 40 (I’m guessing he runs about 4.65 or so). I think Brumfield is the more likely one, and while Thomas’s number 1 choice is Utah, he will go to Lousville if Brumfield commits to Utah. I think Thomas waits to see what happens wit Brumfield and if he goes elsehwere (which I don’t think is likely. Think he lands at Utah.) then Thomas will commit.
