RE: Why is Russell Washington from Harrells Academy not getting more attention?

This is why i don't post on blogs much. Nothing but a bunch of people that have no clue what the kids family situation is or what marketing has been done. Your just assuming.

independent schools are no comp , he needs to play at a public school, If he plays like he is now in a public school then he would of been A top D1 prospect !

@jonestae71- You may not know as much as you think...I have seen many 4AA D1 running back prospects, and I have yet to see many players better than him--there are ones who are AS good, but NOT BETTER(Excluding Todd Gurley/Keith Marshall and the other TOP D1 prospects). His stats match up with the best--period. Harrells is the #1 rushing team in the COUNTRY, don't take my word for it, check for yourself on maxpreps. Obviously, they have a talented O-line and 2 other stud running backs(well...relative to their competition)but without him they would not be the same. And for your information, many players from these teams have transferred and done just fine playing with the big boys. I am not saying all of them are capable of this, it is very clear that these teams are better, but there are talented players on most teams in this division. Don't argue with me about this unless you have seen several of these games yourself.

All your arguments about how great this kid's stats are, are not relevant if he doesn't play against quality competition. Fact is he had good seasons while playing other small independent schools, put up those numbers in a 3A, 4A, 4AA conference and the recruiters will beat a path to his door.

How did he do at the combine? Those combines don't care where you are from. If you have the talent it will shine through. If you are all hype that shows as well. If he didn't go that speaks volume as well.
