Hyde carried the ball 15 times for 218 yards and 3 touchdowns in a 50-33 win.

Hyde had much of the fun on offense for Naples on Friday night, scoring three times and breaking off four carries longer than 20 yards, all in the second half.

I think its almost absurb to think of Hyde as strictly a FB as some have him listed. He's just too good with the ball in his hands to be a FB. Do some of you that are more "in the know" see us using Berry and Hyde as a Reggie Bush/Lendale White setup or what? It also makes me wonder what we'll be doing with Jordan Hall. Will be play more of a Derrick Williams type role as a RB/Slot Receiver?

Hyde carried the ball 6 times for 72 yards in Naples' 49-12 win on Friday night.

Ohio State-bound running back Carlos Hyde carried only six times for 72 yards, while Pratt logged 103 yards in seven tries. Chris Krieg, meanwhile, led Naples with 143 yards in six carries. But Pratt narrowly avoided disaster when he was hurled into a fence by a Sarasota defender after his third score, a 12-yard sweep that made it 42-12 with 6:47 left in the third.

Could he possibly be under-rated? :tongue2: Arguably, the best back in Florida.

Disagree with that one, that easily goes to Trent Richardson, going to Alabama. But back to Carlos. He's still a beast and will fit in perfect after Beenie bounces for the league

I wanted to give my own opinion about the competitive nature of high school football in Florida at the present time in relation to some of the running backs mentioned.

The teams in Pensacola such as Escambia, Pine Forest, Woodham, Niceville, Choctawhatchee, Escambia (Trent Richardson's team) are not the same as the teams that dominated Florida high school football in the late 1970s to late 80s with a flurry of state championships and runner-ups. Though still competitive, the area that is the hotbed of recent championships is South Florida, particularly the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area.

Take a look at this document, http://www.fhsaa.org/records/rec_fb.pdf and the championships coming out of the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area in the last 10 years.

The University of Miami picked up a bunch of players from 6A champion Miami Northwestern and 4A champion Booker T. Washington this past year. They knew exactly what they were getting as the freshman are seeing significant playing time (along with other freshman from South Florida) starting over upperclassmen in many cases. That's exactly the strategy they used in the 1980s to have the success that they did then.

Carlos Hyde out of Naples doesn't play in a particularly competitive district. Yet, his team's only loss was a narrow one to Pace High School out of you guessed it Miami, which won the 2003 3A title. However, Hyde's team ran the table and won the 3A state title last year. I think that says enough.

Now, I assume when we were talking about Miller, we meant Lamar Miller out of Miami (a University of Miami commit). He plays for Miami Killian, a team that won its district this year and won the 2004 6A title. He's not exactly the full deal as he has an issue with running inside. Miami Columbus, #1 in 6A in Florida, stuffed him last week in a 20-18 win, but Miller kept it close with his kick returns.

Not too many blocks away is his friend Jaamal Berry, another Buckeye commit, who plays at Miami Palmetto, who also made the state playoffs and was the runner-up to Killian in its district. Despite being out most of his senior year with a high ankle sprain (he's back now), in 2007 with an awful offensive line and no blocking back (fullback) he managed to get on the radar scope of every top program in the country, despite not even being the leading rusher in Miami-Dade county. Put Berry in some other lowly district in the middle of nowhere and he wouldn't even get a look by a top I-A team.

I am trying to make a point here. I'd rather take an RB, or for that matter any player who plays against tough competition than one who sits in a rather isolated, easy district, and pounds out the yardage and the points. I think OSU has done exactly the right thing in going after Berry and Hyde.

Regardless of where he lives though, Trent Richardson is better than all of the RBs you mentioned. Based off of size, speed and vision. I'm glad with who we picked up and I'm not from sunny So. FL like yourself but you can't front on Richardson's skills. Sorry about that, back to Hyde.

I have seen some pretty knowledgable people question Richardson...Some wonder about his body type and getting too big and losing speed...He is a good back, but could end up not being a home run back like he is thought to be right now...

It's going to be interesting for the University of Miami to see what they get in RB Bryce Brown. His older brother Arthur Brown, as many of you may remember was a bigtime LB recruit that came to Miami last year, but he isn't even starting or getting much time at LB and only finds time on special teams. Another freshman LB, Sean Spence, out of Miami Northwestern is seeing significant playing time and is now a bigtime starter. I don't doubt you get some decent players out of Kansas, but again this goes back to the point I made about playing decent competition.

Hyde may not see much competition in his own district, but he will, as he did last year, pummeling through the 3A state playoffs.

Richardson isn't a bad ball player at all, but OSU has done itself well by going out and recruiting in areas of heated competition like South Florida.

Anybody remember Chris Gamble?

A huge game for Carlos Hyde last night.

NAPLES--Carlos Hyde couldn't believe what he saw. Or, rather, what he didn't see Friday against Riverdale.

On Naples' first offensive play, the Golden Eagles fullback took the ball straight up the middle and didn't see a single Riverdale defender in front of him on a 50-yard touchdown run. It became a familiar sight for the Naples backfield in the Class 3A regional quarterfinal.

Hyde set career highs with 266 yards and five touchdowns and Naples, the defending state champion, ran over Riverdale in a 61-23 victory.
