I like Chisholm at Ryle and I also like the Jackson kid at Cooper. I think if Cooper's line was better he would be having a much better year. However, If I had to choose a back, I really the Jackson kid at Conner. I think his numbers are also impacted by the line he runs behind.

I think Jackson numbers are very good considering Coopers passing offense.

I'll be at the Cooper v Conner game this evening to check out the actions. I was at the Ryle v SK game. Ryle is nice & Chisholm is a hell of a player, but the Barnes kid is hands down the best RB in NKY maybe the Tri-State.

No, he's not.

5'9 175

 

He's a D-III player IMO - and he could play at a good D-III program. I don't see him as big and fast enough to play 1-AA or 2A. It's not intended to be a knock. Chisholm is a great football player -I think the transition for a kid with his measurables is tough. Guys his size are usually "change of pace" backs but he doesn't have the speed to play that role.

 

Great HS football player - if he wants to play big-time college ball I hope he proves me wrong and makes it. He could get a fine education and have a very productive career at a D-III school.

No, he's not.

 

Why would you say he's not? Have you seen him play in person?

No, and I don't need to. All I have to do is look up his highlights. He runs straight up and down. He has quick hips, but doesn't accelerate out of his cuts. All his big runs are open lanes going play side and making a guy miss. No cut backs to speak of, even at the second level (lacks vision). He's very fast. But he's also racking up numbers against some really bad teams. For a guy his size I didn't see a lot of broken tackles either. He's a starting linebacker at the 6A level, but I don't see him starting for Cooper, Conner, or Ryle. Plus, he has no catches that I saw in the games I watched (I just checked him out against Beechwood, NCC, and Bethlehem). He's got the makings of a good college player on D, and he's a good running back, but he's not close to being the best in NKY.

Wow!!! so you just don't know how good he is. Well if you ask the players in NKY you might be surprise how wrong they think you are. I spent time with a couple of SK players at the HC & Lloyd game and they think Barnes is the best they've every seen. They also think Abernathy is the best they've ever played against.

 

Your evaluation seems a little bias towards the 6a schools. Someone told me today that the HC 1-2 punch at RB is the best they've seen in 20 years.

 

Barnes is Bo Jackson-esque and Bo and Eric Dickerson ran up-right throughout their careers.

 

He averages 11.3 yards per carry.

Haha. That might be one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever seen. I'm biased toward good running backs. The Barnes kid is a great athlete. He's a good running back. That's it. He's not the best in NKY.

Average against NewCath.

If any of the RB's you thing are better than Barnes would switch teams with him they would never be heard from again.

So you are saying HC can't block wow.

No I'm saying Abernathy is would be the best RB on the team.

Jackson from Conner is better.

Jackson from Conner doesn't believe that. Ask him because me and his pops have talked about it.
