Ok, I know that no one can replace the Great One in Barry Sanders. No Way! But I was just wondering if anyone else thought that this guy from Iowa looks, runs, and can be just as great as Barry himself. Fred Russell of Iowa, made a believer of me. Dam is guy is so quick, elusive, and all this being only something like 5'7. He has the similar size of Barry. Hey Detroit fans, you might want to take a good look at this guy. It might help you get over losing Barry. I dont know , just wanted to pass some time seeing what others thought. Aloha CC.
Hey I also noticed some more similarities between the two. Both are humble guys with big hearts and let their play on the field do their talking. But more of a similarity is they both have absolutely no hair style. They both seem to perfer the old school looking fro style. Very intriging if you ask me. Hmmm!
Co Capt I know the kickers from Hawaii are struggling I have a neighbor whose Son is in a
1aac school kicking off over 50 yards and hitting 50 yd field goals (he punts for his team too) He is 6ft 3 and about 220 a strong kid with a long soccer background He has tapes of last year and is being wooed by Indiana U if you know how to get a tape to the coach He has always wanted to play at Hawaii Thanks for your time You can e mail me at bgillan3@comcast .net

An unreal stat that Iowa had which I thought was simply unreal, given that their pass off ranked near the bottom of the nation at #106, was that Iowa over the last two years is 17-2 when Russell runs for 75 or more yards. 75 or more, not 100 or more or 100+ or more. Only 75 or more. This was unreal, and it should of made me take a step back and look at this guy alot deeper. Unfortunately, like many I got caught up in Florida and their QB Leak getting it done. This guy is so dangerous in running the ball , that it frees up the Pass Off to run their play action. Dam that is simply incredible and another reason that this guy reminds my of Barry. As Barry was so dangerous , that it opened up the play action as well.
i've watched almost every iowa game russell played in. one great thing about this year was that he stayed healthy the whole year. russell is a great back and very elusive. he can't break many tackles though and doesn't have the breakaway speed. what he does is wait for holes to develop and then can cut back on a dime.
will he play on sundays? probably... as a kick return man for sure. i think it would take the perfect situation for fred to excel at the next level.

Fred Russell yesterday rushed for over 100 yards in the Hula Bowl Game. He was also voted MVP of the game.
Kodiak, I agree RB Stephen Jackson of Oregon St, will probably be the most valuable back in the draft. He is a double threat both running and catching. Reminds me of Ederan James of Indy. Also reminds me of Roger Craig, who could both run and catch. He is definately a solid pick for any team.
