[White Feather]

The Freshman year is not where the difference is. Wales had 45 carries for 399 yards. JJ had 35 carries for 258 yards. So neither were factors in their teams offenses their freshman years.

I wouldn't put a lot into the argument of Highlands being on Johnson Centrals schedule and how many more games could have been played unless you put the enitre schedule strength throughout the rest of the season side by side. If we want to talk about schedules and it's impact, we totally change the entire dynamic of the discussion. What would Wales have done if his regular season included Heath, Clay Co, Boyd or Greenup? Or would Wales have been shut down against PCC or Highlands. We have no idea, maybe he wouldn't have needed as many games to get the numbers that he has now, or he would have lost 400 yards or rushing against those two teams?

We know that Wales has played against Manual, St. X, or PRP and a whole host of other 5A and 6A schools in his career, but he has also had games with teams like E-Town to build big numbers as well.

I don't know that a solid argument can be made if schedules are used for comparative purposes.

Actually according to Johnson Central JJ had 415 yrds as a Freshman, 1906 as a Soph,3258 as a Jr and 3058 as a Sr for a total of 8637 yards for his career.
