Levonte Barber

[Guest cneagles]

That is very possible. I hope so because he is a tremendous kid on and off the field.

I've never seen him play, but I read Tom Lemmings first list for 2004 Rb's and he's not on it. This must be a deep class this year, because Joe Casey of Paducha KY is only at #10 on this list, and I've seen tape of him several times. He is probably the scarriest looking back I've seen in high school in quite some time. 210lbs and blazing fast, I hope some Tennessean's will get a chance to see him play this year. He's special.

 

Is Barber good enough to be on this list of the top 25 backs in the country?

Tom Lemming can have and make any list he wants to, but Tom Lemming also said that a guy by the name of Ray Lewis wouldnt make it past high school. It just goes to show that these critics are making simple PREDICTIONS. Levonte is an exceptional athlete that plays three sports. I know for a fact that Several D-1 schools are eyeing him.(Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina, Auburn, and Alabama just to name a few.) His work ethic and attitude on and off the field make him a coaches dream to coach. Barring injury, He can only get better and better.

thats right

I didn't post that in doubting him. I only used it as a reference for some of the top backs this year. Just because he isn't on that list, literally means nothing. Its just a list, like you said. Of those twenty five kids on the list, maybe 3 of them will pan out in college. I was just curious of Barber is that type of calliber back.

what about levonte ran behind an offensive line as good as maryville?

[coachcornbread]

I've seen both dante hickey and levonte barber play. Levonte in my opinion is not as good as hickey. Hickey would be playing on sundays if he wasn't a thug.

[sly]

I agree with you coachcornbread but thats why Levonte will be playing in college and Dante didn't!

[basspro12]

Dante Hickey was awesome, and he showed it in the 94' state championship, however, it doesnt have the size and low center of gravity that L-train has. But you are right, he should be in the NFL.
