Ok people let it rip. Coming out of HS is Miles a good back or a GREAT back? I just watched his 2015 video and I have a few thoughts...
1) He has good speed, but not great.
2) He is a one cut back. He plants and gets up field.
3) He has a GREAT stiff arm. Great tool to have.
4) Doesn't go down with arm tackles. Runs through them.
5) Tends to run to the outside most of the time. How soon does he realize he won't be able to do this on each run in college.
6) Not particularly quick.
7) Has good size
Overall, from what I could see Barkley will be the better back. Its great to have both in the same backfield. Could be a great 1-2 punch. If I had to rate Miles I would say he is a 8/10 coming out of HS.
