Marcus Dupree's true freshmen year at Oklahoma

[Gene Swindoll]

after seeing this video for the first time, i'm convinced that he was the greatest hs running back in mississippi history. keep in mind this is just one year removed from hs. does anyone disagree?

I disagree. Walter Payton.

of coaching under Dupree's HS coach. I've heard some tremendous stories. I cant imagine anybody being any better than Dupree was.

written by willie morris is a good read. ol' willie had heard all the stories about this amazing high school kid and decided to follow him for the last part of his high school career. it is well written and offers insight on how the phenom was recruited in a time before the intraweb and boosters pretty much operated without any scrutiny. i bought a used copy on amazon fairly cheap about 2 years ago. highly recommended......

Friday Night Lights, The Junction Boys, Twelve Mighty Orphans, and The Blind Side...

They both shed tacklers like few other RB's I've seen and both had tremendous acceleration.

I don't know how to compare those two against Walter Payton due to Walter's smaller size and running style.

Maybe you should have paid attention and learned something from him. But I'm sure you knew more than he did.

He has at least one - Marquez, who signed with Bama. Don't believe it worked out too well for him.

 

[Gene Swindoll]

I disagree. Walter Payton.

did you see him play in high school?</p>

The way he changed directions on the run reminded me of Norwood, that same upright running style. That is scary that someone that fast was big enough to run people over.
