The Long Wait

Usually in the recruiting game you have two approaches....Either a player commits early and wants to get it out of the way for his senior season or a player waits to get all his visits in and make schools sweat it out. It has gotten to the point that some players hold big press conferences where media outlets televise the signings. A lot of the hoop la is determined by the individual player and how good he is.

In the case of Eduardo Clements schools may have to hold on to a scholarship and wait until the day of signing day for this prized recruit. This prized recruit out of Booker T. Washington high school in Miami, FL is no stranger to the public eye. A highly sought after recruit who has been in televised games because of his big name school has the skill set to warrant all the attention. Listed at 5'10 185lbs. Eduardo combines a nice blend of speed and elusiveness with the ability to stick it up in between the tackles when motivated.

The featured running back in a high powered spread offense has the ability to make quick decisive cuts and take it to the house out running most secondary players with his 4.4 speed. Eduardo shows great ability to not only catch the ball out of the backfield but line up as a receiver in mismatches against linebackers. What sets Eduardo apart from other running backs is his knack for breaking first contact with either shifty hips within the hole or his elusive spin move in the open field. With his home threat always a concern for defense I know that after getting into a college program and having big time blocking this kid will definitely be worth the long wait.

Check out his video and let me know what you think.....
