Highlands also saw Jude last season as a sophomore. Elliott may be a better D1 prospect than Jude - I have only seen a few clips of him playing - but I think you owe it to yourself to watch Jude before arguing that he is not as good a high school running back as Elliott. The CovCath game against JC is available on iHigh.com.

Elliott had roughly the same yds/carry average in his game against CovCath early in the season, a game that Ryle won 61-7, as Jude had against the Colonels. Everybody from NKY says that CovCath has improved by leaps and bounds since then, so Jude's game against a new and improved CovCath team should impress most skeptics.

I was challenging whack'em's logic more than trying to make the case for Jude being better than Elliott. If Elliott is better and is harder to tackle when caught, then Highlands should find it easier to control Jude in what whack'em says is a one-dimensional offense than it was for them to contain Elliott in a more balanced offense. I am eagerly awaiting his explanation. :biggrin:

First off Hoot, I said from the very beginning that I know nothing of JJ, never heard his name until the posts from BGR this year, so I'm making no comparisons of JJ to Elliott, only telling what I know of Elliott.

As for CCH, they were terrible last year, so the improvement they made this year was tremendous. But are they the power that they were a few years ago? Not close.
