TheReal_jayD · March 30, 2016

Anthony Wyche

Los Angeles, California (LA Valley)

Running Back

Ht 5-9

Wt 189

We have offered. He currently has an offer from Southeastern Louisiana and a PWO to Georgia. I believe he is a qualifier and would be a 2016 recruit and would have 3 years left to play.

No, you should be worried about the total lack of depth behind Wilson

@TheReal_jayD 2016 recruit so he'll be here for fall camp?

Harry · April 25, 2016

Interesting that this happened right after the scrimmage. Tells you they are worried about the depth. Welcome Anthony.

GrayEagle · April 25, 2016

I'm a little baffled about this also. However, I thought that Willy Ivery didn't participate in spring practice but if you'll review the Graham Harrell Mic'd Up video you'll see #29 in full pads kneeling and batting tennis balls with one hand.

My thought was that they're converting him to wide receiver where his size is less a detriment and his speed and open-field moves are a real plus. In addition, there is a lot less blocking big defensive linemen or blitzing linebackers. Defensive backs are much nearer his size.

I could easily be wrong but in many ways he reminds me of a Brelan Chancellor/Carlos Harris clone.

Yes from what I hear. He will be heard in August and have 3 years of eligibility left

Happenstance. Recruiting is a process that doesn't happen that quickly.

UNTLifer · April 25, 2016

Not sure why he has not committed earlier from the looks of his video. I like his speed and yards after initial contact. He rarely goes down on first contact, has good vision and attacks the hole at the line of scrimmage. It will be interesting to see how this translates to D1 ball.

MGB: I will have more, including comments from Wyche later

Vision>>

Very quick to hit the hole and make decisions - that may help us. Layers moves, maintains momentum. Uses blockers to his advantage, baits defenders. Not all that great in the open field, sometimes cuts/baits too early, so I'd rather keep him in between the tackles. Needs to be more consistent in keeping pads low because he's got a truck stick and fairly good balance.

The closer we can inch him toward 200, especially around his thighs, the better. Would like to see him in short yardage and red zone situations here since he's quick to the hole and has a nose for the endzone.

I thought we were already full for the 2016 class. I wonder if this means someone isn't going to make it or if they are not going to put him on scholarship until after school starts and push him into 2017 class.

Also, based on Wyche's tweet, good to hear that God is a Mean Green fan. I hope the negativity of the board doesn't change his mind. Wish he would post more. His first ten posts were pretty good, but it's been a while.

We had one pocketed. This is the guy we chose to use it on. Now, onto the 2017 class.

MGNation92 · April 29, 2016

Love his knack for finding the end zone. Wilson is a great back no doubt but he doesn't seem to do well in getting TD's. Hopefully they can become a solid 1/2 punch in the running game. Kid shows good power and lower body strength to keep his legs moving.

GMG24 · April 29, 2016

Looks like we are targeting his team mate.

Interestingly that they also play with 3 down lineman the majority of the time. I guess Ekeler likes his experience playing a 3-tech/5-tech

This guy is a very large man. I believe 6'4" 250

True. But isn't a typical 3-tech like 280? I like the speed we have on defense but I wonder if the size deficiency in the line will hurt us in the run game

Yes, but we won't have 3-Techs we will have a 0 tech and 4's so they need to be big enough 260-280 to hold their own vs Tackles and quick and fast enough to shoot gaps etc. I am sure they'd like him to be a bit heavier, but for our scheme I wouldn't say he was severely undersized particularly being in CUSA.
