oh darn, three out of our four '09 commits are 1 star guys!

Well, not really, but as long as he blocks as well as Darius and catches the ball out of the backfield as well as Darius, it can't be all bad. But, Theo should be way faster than Darius.

THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK

 

4.4 speed, what i like to see!!

You know who he runs like unfortunately & fortunately? Reggie Bush. He has the exact same stride and the exact same balance.

Darius Walker? Theo Riddick is one of the top five fastest running backs in the country.

I don't think anyone posted the link to his video, so here you go.

great pickup!

Looks like a good pickup. Don't know much more than a short film on him. Thanks DonJuan!!

There is no comparison with Theo Riddick and Darius Walker. Riddick is the real deal. We have two great backs guys.

I got my money on him playing cornerback or safety in college. He looks like a hell of an athlete who can make an impact on both sides of the ball.

I thought their running styles seemed rather similar, i geuss its just me. Regardless, with all those backs theres going to be some serious healthy competition.

maybe hell play like Chris Gamble did it OSU. Then again he was a CB and WR, dont know if that would work with RB

I agree that he doesn't run much like Darius. That tape is pretty f'ing impressive.

Does anyone know what kind of competition his high school plays? I don't know much about evaluating based on video footage, but with those highlights I'm surprised he's not rated a bit higher (around 140 on rivals I think). Maybe he'll move up the rankings in the fall...

Nice to see you posting ManorMatt, keep them coming!
