If for nothing else...or just short of time, watch Hyde's Youtube video at the 56 second mark. If this return doesn't excite you about his potential, nothing will. Would really love to have a powerful back of his caliber in this class.

Love that one.

But I REALLY love the 5 yard TD run at about 8:30 in the video. The way he cuts straight up, squares his pads and gets them low is awesome.

Wow, that highlight tape is impressive!

Hyde has a natural instinct to get up field and he does it with bad intentions.
Nice blend of power and balance.
Can't begin to imagine the yards after contact potential from just the clips on the vid.
Around the 4:30 mark is a punishing run, leaving two defenders dazed and sprawled.
Hyde compares and reminds me of Tim Spencer back in the day.

His size and style of running reminds me a bit of another #34 - Hershel Walker. Carlos does not have the sheer straight ahead speed as Walker did, but similiar, none the less, imo.

His size and style reminds ME of Ickey Woods...not saying he is a FB, but I could see him being a real weapon in that role.

Spring football: Naples blows out Clewiston, 31-0
By ANGELA BUSCH (Contact)
Saturday, May 24, 2008

CLEWISTON ? Almost six months after winning the 3A state championship, not much has changed for the Naples High football team.

The Golden Eagles beat Clewiston 31-0 on Saturday night in Clewiston, making their record 16-0 since the start of the 2007 season. Naples also played at Clewiston in last year?s spring game, winning 49-16 and overpowering the then-defending 2A state champs.

Consistent offense ? especially from workhorses Pratt and fellow rising senior Carlos Hyde, who contributed 2,395 total yards to last year?s state championship season.

?(Pratt and Hyde) are two of the best we?ve ever had here, and that?s saying a lot,? Kramer said on Saturday. ?There?s some pressure on them, but we played five backs tonight, and they all did pretty well.?

From BadgerNation.com...Profiles RB's on the radar for Wisconsin. Mentions Hershey Jackson (who plans on attending an Ohio State camp) and Carlos Hyde.

I only put this in here because of a certain excerpt in the Carlos Hyde portion of the story. :wink:

Wow....I completely missed that article on scout! I certainly did like the last portion! Getting those bananas warmed up and ready! :biggrin:

By Adam Jardy...Hyde plans on coming up for an unofficial on June 17. If everything goes well he plans on giving his verbal commitment.

Things have been looking very positive for the Buckeyes for a while now, but it is always nice to get some sort of confirmation on that info from Carlos himself. He's gonna be a stud here, and I love the fact that he never seems to go down on the first hit.....he's one awesome power runner......he fits the profile of someone who is gonna be a great Big Ten RB (OSU's recruiting him at RB not FB)!
