Hello: Hassan Haskins
October 29th, 2017 at 9:09 PM ^
It wasn't Tarik Black. It was Jeremiah Holloman from Georgia. Harbaugh found out about him first and Georgia swooped in and got him after he blew up around the circuit. Par for the course.

But he committed much earlier in the cycle. I don't think Kwity Paye's ranking jumped after his commitment, but he's looking like an underrated, off the radar recruit in that class.
Haskins reminds me a little of MAAR on the basketball team. Super productive in HS, but overlooked due to level of competition. MAAR has worked out because he's willing to play any role. He's not just a scorer who needs the ball in his hands. Haskins is already showing more than just running the ball..

think it was Taylor or Mason, although I think St. Juste started out very low in the ratings, possibly 2* territory.
October 30th, 2017 at 12:10 AM ^
There were a few that shot up the rankings, When St Juste committed he was a 2 star on every site that had a profile for him.

Ekiyor one hurts but I gotta throw some shade on him. Bama also knows that it could have any lineman they wanted but they chose a Michigan commit. They know that this offensive line is a couple pieces and some experience away from being great I believe. That's the hugest piece as of late that this team has been missing from being back at the top again year in and year out as we all know. Filiagia, Ruiz, Onwenu, Bredeson and Newsome seem like one of those lines where d-lineman and linebackers get their backs broke and discs bulged. I'm getting scared just sitting here in my chair picturing those guys. It might be one of those lines that's own back gets broke in a big game if the next man cant cut it. That said, to hell with the young sell-out Ekiyor if he doesn't want a challenge and a top notch education.

Higdon and Evans were three stars depending on the site you source. Seems decent and will be interesting to see him get into the strength program and develop. Depth is always good.

had less impressive numbers yet was more highly ranked/rated than Haskins.
Davis had 1656 rushing yards, and 6.8 YPC average, in his senior year (says the internet).
Hassan Haskins had over 1900 yards, and over 9.0 YPC (!!!), in his senior year.
Davis was the no. 741 player overall in the 247 composite and the no. 1 FB in the 247 composite (even though he said he did not want to considred only a FB).
Haskins is the no. 1555 overall player in the 247 composite and the no. 95 (!!!) RB in the 247 composite.
How is a guy that averages over 9 YPC way down at no. 95 RB and no. 1555 overall?
He does not have a high 4 star frame or total yardage number. But his very good total yardage, great YPC, and the fact that his size is normal for a very good HS RB, does not add up to such a low ranking.
Maybe he just did not impress at camps and got assigned a low 3 star ranking, which never changed despite a great senior season.
Internet says Haskins' HS team is ranked no. 6 this year in Missouri, so this does not spound like a HS team that plays only terrible opponents. Any one know Missouri HS football well?

Harbaugh factor will get him up to at least 1284

in addition Taylor was much higher rated (no. 23 overall RB and a high 3 star) and had a much better offer list than Haskins.
Taylor averaged 235 yards per game and 12.4 (!!!!) YPC as a HS senior. That is really good.
That said, Haskins did average over 9.0 YPC this year, so...not as good as Taylor, but still pretty good

is starting at FSU, a five star, and even with a terrible line he looks really good
October 29th, 2017 at 8:29 PM ^
October 29th, 2017 at 8:55 PM ^
You trash the kid now, yet of course you'll be all over his jock when he suits up for us.
October 29th, 2017 at 9:02 PM ^
October 29th, 2017 at 9:13 PM ^
From your posts in this thread, it sounds like you don't even want him to be on the team.
Which is it?
October 29th, 2017 at 9:03 PM ^
October 29th, 2017 at 8:34 PM ^
i believe was a composite 3 star? But 4.5 40 speed. At 4.74 Haskins is slower than Rashan Gary.... hopefully he has some good change of direction and shiftiness
October 29th, 2017 at 8:35 PM ^
Does the staff think these low ranked kids are vastly under valued ? Or are we having trouble recruiting ? This is starting to get concerining. Hope we finish the class strong.

So you think the decision of whether to offer a rb recruit falls solely to Jay Harbaugh and him alone? You're a special kind of stupid, aren't you?
October 29th, 2017 at 9:38 PM ^
When did Jay Harbaugh become persona non grata around here? There's been a ton of complaints about him all of a sudden.
I get the gripe about nepotism, but it seems like the position groups he's been accountable for (TE before, RB now) have performed well enough. I really wouldn't say they've been problem areas.

Generally, I'd think that a sleeper prospect we offer in the fall is going to be more likely to pan out than one we suddenly offer in January, since it implies that the player is a fairly high priority for us.
October 29th, 2017 at 9:05 PM ^
1. Yes
2. No.
