WRH and JK both have backs that are much better "game" players. This is a combine scholarship.....he tests well and has the build and speed. Heart...???? well...... he's not got the nickname "big game" Williams does he????

Emmons is head and shoulder above Williams. Rico McDowell is AC Reynolds is better but he plays in the mountains and doesn't get the notoriety. Simple as that.

Rico Dowdle has not put up the huge numbers until this season and he is doing it mostly as a QB. Not questioning who is better but not really the same type of player. Williams is going to be a between the tackles type of runner. Expect Dowdle may play any of a number of a positions at the next level.

This is the first season Dowdle has put up big numbers because this is the first year he's played the full compliment of games. Dowdle has missed chunks of his junior and sophomore seasons due to injuries and suspension. I've watched film on most of the top skill athletes in the state for the class of '16 and for my money Dowdle is as good or better than any of them.

I do agree that Dowdle could end up at any different number of positions in college (RB, WR, CB, FS) and isn't the same style of player as a Williams or Emmons.

mdbfan, when a player is missing games or not putting up big numbers he is not going to be as recognizable.

What was the deal on Dowdle being suspended for some games before this season?

No I agree tango, but glad to see he is finally getting the chance to shine this season. I have to imagine some bigger offers are on the way once the season is over and his film is reviewed, I know Notre Dame was interested but hadn't yet offered a scholarship, I think that would be a good landing spot for him.

I'm not sure what the suspension was for, but he did miss the first several games of his junior season with a suspension, I'll try to find out the reason for you.

Kareem Walker de-commits to Ohio State. What does this mean for OSU and Williams?

It changes nothing in my opinion, it don't matter if they have 1 RB or 5 RBs it wont help Williams run the ball, so no it don't matter, but I bet they will regret losing Walker.

No offense, but OSU probably had an inkling that Walker was not as committed as they needed him to be before they ever called WIlliams. This move helps it all make sense.
