    Bulldawg36 But if you look at both Zeus and Toneil, they each have characteristics that make them very good running backs. 

    1. Vision
    2. No fear or hesitation
    3. Good balance
    4. Instinctive runners

    To go along with speed and power.

    Here’s Zeus’ highlights just to compare and you can see the similarities:

    Bulldawg36 About 50 miles SE of Covington, GA. Fayetteville is closer to Peachtree City. Only about 10 miles and a 15 minute drive from Peachtree City on 54.

    Bulldawg36 I think both are great high school football running backs that have the potential to be special at the next level. Zeus is more likely to run through and over you while Carter is likely to just blow right by you or make you grab air.

    Zeus reminds me of Nick Chubb and Herschel Walker while Toneil Carter reminds of Todd Gurley.

    Keep in mind though, one is going into his senior year and the other will just be starting his junior year this fall.

    Bulldawg Bob2 Bulldawg36 Happy you’re back, Bob2, and that your wife is feeling better!

    I’m pretty sure we will pass the blue grass state soon enough. Just hate seeing them in front of us. lol

  6. Bulldawg Bob2

    And more Toneil Carter. One thing you will notice besides his obvious blistering speed is that he has what other good and great running backs have, which is lack of hesitation and vision. He doesn’t “dilly-dally” around but hits the gap and hole hard, without any hesitation or fear.  No dancing around. He also has that jump cut like Chubb and has some power to finish off a run as well. Has the potential to be a special RB at the next level.

    Bulldawg36 Kentucky is tenth in the team rankings for 2017 because they have 11 commitments at this stage, but keep in mind that 10 of those 11 are ranked 3-star prospects.

    Northwestern is right behind Kentucky at 11th, but like the Wildcats of the Bluegrass state, it is primarily on number of commitments versus actually having a top 10 or top 15 recruiting class.

    Bulldawg36 D-rob isnt going to play college ball, I just read that he is going to try his hand at chess team instead and will be attending Tech!##

  9. Dawgnation4

    Bulldawg36 Step away from the ledge! I heard that D-rob, J. Stevens, Zeus, D. Gibbs, W. Ignont, and a few other players are committing at the G-day game…##

  10. Bulldawg36

    We need a commitment lfrom a highly talented prospect!!!!!!!!! I can’t take Kentucky being ahead of us!! I don’t care how far we are from signing day!!!! Kentucky!!!! Really???

  11. Bulldawg Bob2

    Bulldawg36 You weren’t too far from my neck of the woods. Doing  good brother. Mrs. BB2 is feeling better which is a blessing

  12. AlphaDawg

    Says he’s going to commit to a school on Oct 3, his birthday. I’m not sure how you’re going to be better than Todd Gurley at UGA if you’re not at UGA, so…..there’s that.

    Bulldawg Bob2 I don’t read it as a shot at UGA or Kirby, in fact just the opposite. Muschamp stated clearly he doesn’t like to coach against friends. Being forced into this situation, he wants to win, which is entirely understandable. People are getting up in arms, because the way he phrased it. However, he also stated that Kirby probably would like to do the same to his team.

  14. DawgByte

    Bulltoad MMCSDAWG Agree 100%. Now understanding our depth issues, it’s hard to imagine Richt winning a SEC championship any time soon.

  15. DawgByte

    MMCSDAWG DawgByte lagadawg Part of it as you point out is the Grantham hangover. Pruitt was only on staff for 2 years, so he was forced to use Grantham’s recruits to a large extent. I don’t think we really got to see what Pruitt is capable of as a coach, primarily due to recruiting and the loss of a talent – transfers, arrests etc.

  16. Bulltoad

    MMCSDAWG  We have to win East for Richt to keep his job.  I will give McGarity credit.  I was upset when Richt got fired because I was scared of losing all our momentum.  It turns out we were never going to get over the hump with Richt.  Watching everything Kirby has done since taking over has made me realize what we were missing all along.

    DawgByte RumRunnerDoogie MMCSDAWG lagadawg not only getting beat just getting embarrassed

  18. DawgByte

    RumRunnerDoogie MMCSDAWG lagadawg I think you’ve touched on a huge issue. People outside our program questioned our mental toughness, which was reflected in a lot of losses to Top 10 opponents and losing big games. 

    One of the hopes in bringing Smart into the program is bring in a championship mentality and improving our winning percentage against Top 10 programs and big games. I don’t expect this change to transpire over night. CKS needs time to recruit the type of players who fit his profile and character needs.

    Bulldawg36 You need one more exclamation mark for me to know if you are excited or not … ###

    If you haven’t seen his film, I love his determination at the 4:15 mark! Im not sure how to post the video, but it is below

  21. Bulldawg Bob2

    Dawgnation4 Would be a good and dynamic duo at RB for the Dawgs for 2018 and the next several years. I would be extremely happy with that combo

  22. Bulltoad

    DawgByte Bulltoad Bulldawg Bob2 Lawrence is #1 player in the country for his class.  He will probably shatter the Georgia high school records for passing.  I have a feeling he will also make DC’s cringe 🙂

  23. Bulldawg Bob2

    MMCSDAWG I don’t think it changes whether or not Coach Richt was fired or retained. I think the decision was made to ask Mark Richt to step down after the brutal loss to Alabama and then the nail in the coffin was the 27-3 loss to Florida.

  24. Dawgnation4

    I just watched 2018 RB Dameon Pierce highlight film, and all i can say is wow! That kid has some incredible balance, always falls forward, not afraid to lower the boom, and fast enough to break away. 

    Reminded me a lot of Chubb running the ball! Pierce and Zeus for 2018!!!!
