Speaking of Luke McCaffrey, I watched a bunch of the Rice game, one of the announcers said that one of the coaches said that Luke will be playing a long time on Sundays...,,,,Skat is having a bad ass game so far against USC. Lots of comparisons to Tebow, THill, JHester, Gerhart, etc.....Every white runner they’ve compared him to. All good.....13-81-1 with 9 minutes left in the third quarter......ASU only down 3.

I'm gonna say it right now. ASU RB Cameron Skatteboo has NFL Potential. He had 111 yards rushing and 79 yards receiving.
Phenomenal athlete and at 5'10 & 212 lbs he has NFL Size as a junior in college. It's a shame he is on ASU as they are not a good
team and they are also on a one year self imposed probation this year for recruiting violations. All that being said he makes this
a fun team to watch. The kid did this against a top 5 defense that knew that ASU was struggling to pass the ball which meant they
could stack the line more and run blitz. The kid is explosive, cuts on a dime and powerful. Very similar to Cmac and Shipley. Glad he
has 1 year of college left after this season as he could be shooting up nfl scouts radars!

Most likely I bet. Anyway wife tuned into the Oregon game while I was working about the house not paying attention and I wondered why Oregon. Anyway she wanted to see for herself the hype, she lasted into early 2nd and then threw me the remote after I sat down. Here is my take the media will soon switch to his haters than CO's team as the story. And his haters will step up to exercise their demons as if on command, myself I will just sit back and enjoy the theater. The best way to destroy a narcissist is to let them do it to themselves.

247sports take on Dante Moore. I think they call this damage control or delusion.

- Dante Moore is among the most ready-to-play freshmen we’ve seen in a long time at the quarterback position, but he didn’t have a chance against Utah. The No. 11 Utes stifled No. 22 UCLA in a 14-7 win, the fewest points Utah has scored in a win in 15 seasons. Utah’s inability to consistently move the ball didn’t really matter because the Bruins (3-1) couldn't do anything. They averaged a paltry 3.6 yards per play. And when they did move the ball, the drive usually ended on downs or with a turnover. The Utes still don’t have Cameron Rising and yet they’re 4-0. They can thank their defense

Same thing with Shedueeerrrrr over at Colorado. It was the offensive line's fault for not giving him time. The magical negro qbs are supposed to be omnipotent, flawless perfect players according to the media, "experts", idiotic fan bases (both the drunk whites and militant blacks etc.) I suppose narratives like this reinforce that falsehood because all of the blame gets deflected.

Moore sucked a big weiner and completed about one-third of his pass attempts. He also took sacks on 3 of the last 4 plays of the game to turn the ball over on downs. Absolute 'deer in headlights' and I have no idea how Chip Kelly explained to his two white 22-yr old quarterbacks that this 18 yr old black kid had beaten them out in a fair competition for the job.

Notre Dame continuing its tradition of being a snow plow factory. Dominant play by the offensive line and TE Mitchell Evans, and a few clutch throws by Hartman. This may be the team to root for this year. You just don't see teams imposing their will up front in the modern game and Notre Dame is doing it against the 6th ranked team in the country with a 4/5 white OL.
ND’s oline dominated the black 5* dline all game. Even on defense I noticed 2-3 white dline on a lot of plays for the Irish. Sucks they lost of caste clown Ryan day, notre dames scrub #2 safety dropped a game ending int and their other safety just backpedaled on that 3 and 19 when he was already 15 yards off the ball! If he just stayed there he wouldv been in position to pick off that pass. But I’m told only blacks can play db smh. Last point and it goes to the joke that is recruiting rankings- ND’s 3 best players were all 3* Hartman, Joe Alt, and #20 Morrison the cb and Alt and Morrison were going against “5*” dline and wr from osu and got the better of them all night long.

That really sucks for Steele, but he made a bad choice going there to begin with. I know you and I agree on that. I’m afraid if he doesn’t rush for 1000 yards at least this year he’ll go by the way of Horvath and Nall.

I disagree. What was he supposed to do? He made a courageous decision to leave Ball State for bigger pastures and has received nothing but positive affirmation from his coaches and team. Have you ever heard of many white RB's leaving a D-1AA school and moving right into the starting position at a D-1 program? He has been given every opportunity at UCLA to succeed. He's making the most of it.
He made the best decision based on what I know concerning his choices. Do you know of something different?

THANKS Carolina Speed! Always enjoy reading your post! Wow 77 points!!!

After scrolling thru the FBS games (133 teams) ..sometimes have limited amount in late night tank for all of the FCS too.

Interesting a newcomer like Jacksonville State can shut out a MAC school (Eastern Michigan)

Late night game ...Back up Hawai'i RB Landon Sims had 5 carries 28 yards + 2 rec 10 yards

Agreed on Carson Steele; it can be frustrating and bumpy (UCLA has 3 QB's only used one yesterday)' ; it's a blessing in disguise splitting carries. Less wear n tear for the NFL!


THANKS Leonardfan for the pic of the gnarly catch by Ricky Pearsall ! The Irony he could still be at Arizona State with RB Skattebo; but he's proving White WR's can make a impact in the SEC!

I'm gonna say it right now. ASU RB Cameron Skatteboo has NFL Potential. He had 111 yards rushing and 79 yards receiving.
Phenomenal athlete and at 5'10 & 212 lbs he has NFL Size as a junior in college. It's a shame he is on ASU as they are not a good

could stack the line more and run blitz. The kid is explosive, cuts on a dime and powerful. Very similar to Cmac and Shipley. Glad he
has 1 year of college left after this season as he could be shooting up nfl scouts radars!
Yes indeed! Saw some of that at Sacramento State (nice find by Leonardfan!); knew he had something "Extra" that should get him noticed by the NFL even with his pale skin condition! Actually his new listing is at 5-10" 225....It was funny last night(as Freethinker said) getting the "shorter Tayson Hill" & "Jacob Hester" comparisons by announcer Tim Brando.

Am sure to include Skattebo in the Big 3 with Steele & Shipley as Future RB's on NFL Rosters! RB thread made video w him doimng "back flip" at Spring game!

Arizona State has been bad until last night ; made a nice showing vs 5th ranked USC ...It was cool watching true Freshman Hybrid LB #25 Tackett Curtis (from rural Louisiana) making a Tackle on Skattebo!

Both Shipley and Steele have been playing poorly lately. Their black backups being more productive is not a good look for the scouts.

Shipley played well against FSU, made some great plays. Can't speak for Steele's performance vs Utah but from @Phall and his insightful analysis seems like it was more due to the upsider QB Chip Kelly marched out there not having the ability to keep defenses honest. Both Shipley and Steele are of course sharing carries with upsiders but that's no indictment of their ability but just the caste system in action (we can't have any White Zach Moss like performances can we?!) There are still 8 games left for both players so reaching 1k yards is still very much a possibility.

I agree both are fully capable of producing big numbers. But for whatever reason, they are not. The last couple of games, for Shipley in particular, just not up to his usual level.

It goes without saying Steele and Shipley have all the talent to become 1k yard rushers this season and beyond in the NFL. What worries me is any chink in their armor will be used against them when it comes times to the draft. And like it or not, being drafted high means teams would be MUCH more willing to actually give them a chance.

This is very true. Many of our guys never get drafted and have to try to make the teams as a practice squad signee which is a long shot. I
remember way back in the day when even Luke Staley after winning the Doak Walker Award as the nations top NCAA Running Back wasn't
drafted until the 7th round. He never really got much of a chance. Yes he had injury problems but they don't really show the majority of our
guys any respect no matter what they accomplish in high school or college.

And I also think it goes to the running back position in genera. Most teams even with great a great rb will split carries up so one doesn’t monopolize all of them. I am sure Shipley and Steele get less than otherwise but as long as they get around 15 touches a game, 20 in big games preferably I am fine with that. I thought at this point Steele would’ve been railroaded so at least he is still getting a good amount of opportunities

To show what our guys are up against we had the leading rusher in the NCAA last year who wasn't even drafted! That right there
shows & screams the ANTI WHITE BIAS our guys face. It's ANTI WHITE RACISM at the HIGHEST LEVELS. Disgusting what our men
have to go through just to play the game they love and that they excel at!

Cheers, my friend!

I tried to "write up" a bunch of teams and definitely missed him. How the heck did you go through your process of finding him?? I would never check a Hawaii box score to see whether an odd walk-on RB was white or not who logged stats.

How do you make your magic, so to speak, so that someone else might be able to do it someday when you retire?

Thanks for the props Phall! Always enjoy your quality post & wealth of knowledge ! Sometimes scanning thru rosters or all the stats; it can be easy to miss!

Just happened to catch RB Sims in some of the Hawai'i vs. Vanderbilt game in late August 26th/ Week 0. Otherwise he may have snuck past me. Sims happened to be the teams leading rusher ( 9 carries 38 yards ) ; last Saturday was only his 2nd game to get carries; so far not too bad 14 carries 66 yards + 4 catches 32 yards

Have been following / observing the Demographics on the football field since about age 10- 12. It kind of comes natural here in the Dirty South.
