    Barry Sanders.....Jr.

    Was tooling around and found this article up. What do you guys think about this kid based off of the videos provided or anything else you have seen or heard about him?

    I personally don't see his style anything close to that of Sr. He looks to be extremely fast, but his style reminds me more of a young AP then it does Barry. Had to tell how good the competition was he was playing against in that highlight film, but a lot of good backs dust people like that in HS. He did appear to have good vision, excellent pad level and good balance, but I didn't see the same quickness in his cuts Sr. had. Good looking young back, but not his dad's level.

    Just because it's Barry's son doesn't make it fair to compare this kid to his dad.

      I've heard he is really interested in FSU, Deion Sanders also has a kid in the 2012 class.

        He said in an interview that he wants to visit Columbus sometime in his SR year. I think he has OU, OK ST, or UT written all over it.

          I agree, he'll probably do an Arthur Brown type tour before his senior year.

            It would be nice if he followed his dad's footsteps and go to OK st. but the lure of the bigger name schools will probably grab him.

              It will be fun to see where this kid ends up next year. He is going to have more than enough choices. He already as offers from Notre Dame, Florida State, Alabama, UCLA, Oklahoma State, Auburn, Stanford, Tennessee, Texas and Nebraska to name a few.

                I'll be shocked if he doesn't go to Okie State.

                  I know there was an article on rivals back in the spring or summer talking about that so who knows.

                    The article, not that I can attest to it's source of accuracy hints that he both wants Texas to show interest and that they have yet to do so. Are you assuming he has had interest from Texas or do you have a source or something jell-o like? Can't imagine a kid with this pedigree not having his pick of schools, but you never know what his flaws are and that kind of surprised me.

                      I wish he would go to Miami. But if he doesn't we're stacked at the RB position.

                          I'm a big fan of Barry Sr. so i'm watching where his son goes to see how he does. I'd watch. If he has half the talent his pops has he'll be special.

                            Heritage Hall is a private school in the OKC area in Class 3A, same school Wes Welker came out of, and there are classes up to 6A.

                            Would love for him to come to OSU but wouldn't be surprised if he went somewhere else.

                              Ironically I always thought of Gundy's offense to be more pass oriented, then I looked at the numbers for the last few seasons and their feature back got over 225 carries last year (Don't remember exact number). My original thought would be he would be a terrible fit for their offense, but I think I'm wrong. Don't really know how OSU utilizes their backs though.
