Years ago, when UConn had its Louisiana connection, they had a kid named Raymond James (no, not that Raymond James) who was an incredible get for them. A national level sprinter, crazy total yards and TDs in high school, a punter, a place kicker, the second coming of Jim Thorpe. Expect he fumbled a few times in his first two games and then hardly saw the field except for special plays designed for his speed (he was lightning fast). I was one of those who thought he should have given more of a chance. When kids like that and Newsome come along who have ridiculous hs totals, chances are that they have a ton of long runs, tackled less than other kids, and are rarely hit clean. College is a whole different thing and I would let a kid like that adjust to the new reality. When he fumbled early, (against Boise?) I thought it was more on the (lack of) blocking because he was hit an instant after he was handed or pitched the ball. He is the game breaker from what I see among our backs.
