Micah Clark Moves up 33 Spots on Latest Rivals 250 Released Today
- Thread starter Queztastic
- Start date
I assume he's not going to redshirt unless he gets injured or something. Davis played for us as a true frosh
He won't play tackle year one but he may be in the mix at guard like AD did for us his freshman year.
I have no doubt Micah will have a great career at RU. But Anthony Davis had a more mature body & frame than Micah at this stage. Hopefully, RU can redshirt Micah so he can be ready in his sophomre year.
If I recall correctly, he is enrolling in January which allows him to practice in the spring. That might get him on the field next year.
Didn't it also take until halfway through the season for AD to finally crack the starting lineup?
Let's not poo poo the idea of this kid playing right away. Don't forget, Art Forst played as a true freshman.
If he is good enough to play they will start him at right tackle right away and if he holds his own I can see being moved to left tackle his sophomore year.
Well, we wound up playing a guy who didn't even start practice this year on the OL, so maybe.

Enrolling early could have him competing for a guard spot but probably not a tackle spot.
Have you seen our O Line?
Hell he could probably start at QB if he wanted.

This thread is about Micah Clark. Couldn't give a damn about Taylor, to be honest, Bob.
I'm with the rest on this one: NO need to RS a guy with his potential in an area we are in dyer need of help.
See NUTS here's what's sad.... once again you want to make the board about what you think people should post or not post...I had very little to say to you all year...I made myself that promise but NOBODY including you has more love for Rutgers ...I liked a number of your posts this season but evidently you couldn't resist tweaking me about an honest update...When and IF we ever get to Wisky, OSU, MICHIGAN'S etc . status in sports and academics I 'll be happy...but something tells me you just can't resist starting controversy with certain posters...have a MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANUKAH AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR...
Did you really feel the need to post this after you already responded?
BTW - my response was legit, sorry if you didn't like it, but this thread LITERALLY had nothing to do with Taylor. I've been civil to you, despite the past, and would have responded the same way to ANY other poster so no need to take it personally Bob. Okay?
Clark does have the potential to be a beast but I doubt he plays as a frosh. He still looks like a kid and he's still a bit undersized. Anthony Davis was a 300 lb. mean looking manchild coming out. Micah Clark looks about 265 with a baby face.
I've seen College All-Americans who look like they're 15. What on Earth does a "baby face" have to do with anything whatsoever? If you EARN the PT, with THIS position group in particular, you play next year. Baby-faced or not lol! No questions asked IMHO.
Whoa dude, don't take things so personally here. This isn't high school with an "in" crowd or a popularity contest of who loves Rutgers more. We're all losers sitting in front of a computer debating the decisions of guys who are 10, 20, 30 or even 40 years younger than us.
Your civility towards me is because you had no choice NUTS....I did not contact you during any posts except... on a "like"...the problem is I only mentioned this about a former commit Taylor in order to show why a school's position in the hierarchy of college football is relevant....Taylor may have gotten the 4th star at RU but sure as hell got it quick after upping with Wisky...and you had no good reason to comment or reprimand me that the thread was about Micah...but like a jilted girl you couldn't resist...I can't wait to see YOUR examination of the State of Rutgers Football in two weeks... I seldom state my qualifications on here but assuredly I am more qualified than you and many others....as much as I respect Chris Ash it will likely be 3-4 years before we can even think to beat the top programs in the BIG eastern division... maybe longer?...If you still can't see that attempting to make people kowtow down to your likes and dislikes on here it is futile....it is more obvious now...you are part of the problem ...
I hope he can play. I'm just saying he looks like a High school kid. The positions where kids can play right away are WR and Running back. Not left tackle where you're lining up against guys like Jadaveon Clowney. He'll get eaten alive. Rashaun Gary could barely do anything his frosh year.
I believe it may have been game 5. Also, AD came in at about 340 and worked to reduce body fat and gain muscle so that he was about 320 at that time.
Art was well over 300lbs as a true freshman. Never, never, never should have started as a true freshman. Did I say never?
Clark looks like he has all the tools to be a standout OT on this team. He does need to put on size and muscle.
Just to be clear...when we are talking about men of this size, it is sometimes very hard to know what their weight is without a clear headshot..,
Not seeing it here. Not saying that it doesn't happen, but Wisconsin sure isn't a good example.
