Walker > Harris

Walker's agility, quicker acceleration, natural receiving skills and open field speed make him a better overall back in my opinion when comparing him to Harris. Harris's power is superior to walker although it may not be a huge difference after coach mick gets ahold of him.

Welcome to the Family, Kareem!!

Really impressive film... he's got a little bit of everything. Game-breaking speed, jukes/ability to make you miss, power, patience, vision, balance, hands... complete back. Love his patience in the hole to wait on his blockers, that stiff arm, and how he keeps his legs driving on every play for extra yards. He's the kind of back that would be a nightmare for opposing defenses in Ohio State's offense... and that's really exciting.

I disagree. I don't see a significant difference in talent between the two. They are both fundamentally complete backs with that rare combination of speed and power. The only comparison between the two really worth making is that Damien looks like he fits Alabama's scheme better than ours, and Kareem fits our scheme to a 'T'. Beyond that, you're really picking at nits, IMO.

That sounds like sour grapes. Harris is a very good RB as is Walker, and getting both or either would be amazing for our team.

But like @BuckTwenty said, they're 2 different backs. I'd like to see more film but he looks similar to Eze's HS film. 1 cut or 2 and he's gone, minimal dancing, just focused on the end zone at all times. He'll complement Weber very nicely and take a major load off of the QB as well. Urban is certainly turning our team into a different more physical version of his UF teams

Disagree on what? Both backs would fit our scheme, we cater to whatever our players talents are. The better home run speed and and pass catching ability will be what seperates the two backs because when Walker fills out, he'll run with similar power to that of Harris's. But given the choice straight up between the 2 I'm leaning towards Walker is all i'm saying. Not saying it's night and day difference, but like his complete skill set more.

I disagree that Walker is a better player than Damien. They're both fantastic prospects. Your post came off as sour grapes because we didn't land Damien.

Agree to disagree.
