beano5 14 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 im sorry but i dont think Ahmad is the bes ever to come out of this area...yes he is good..but he isnt the best ever to come out of here....Julius Jones is already in the NFL....and he is doing very well in the NFL....i dont think you can put him about Julius...there are many more that have done better than Ahmad....

BLU 10 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 I guess if you played at graham and make it to Marshall that is the best ever. Jones who?? NFL?? ..No Bradshaw plays for Marshall University he the best ever NOT. Im not sure he would make the top five in my book..6 maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano5 14 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 "8 kevin mathews" Â you are kidding me...right??? he wasnt half the athlete his brother was...he was built up on his brothers image and let us all down when he couldnt perform as well as HT....

VTFAN 10 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 What have you been smoking? Bradshaw before the jones boys. He is good but not on that level yet. Garon marcum and adam davis are not even the best to come out of their schools. Ed Clark from Appalachia was the best football player ever to come out of this area. He is the Jones boys uncle.

Mike Compton - Richlands 3. Ed Clark - Appalachia 4. Johnny McFall - Clintwood 5. Cortez Martin - Bluefield 6. Carroll Dale - J.J. Kelly 7. Danny Abercrombie - Big Creek 8. Thomas & Julius Jones (can't pick one) - Powell Valley 9. Tommy Francisco - Damascus 10. Jake Houseright - Gate City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightsfan3 27 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 You're right Warner does belong in this list,but when I started it I meant for the va posters to make a top 10 from schools in va and for the wv posters to make a top for wv. I know some of the posters here have quite a bit of knowledge about both states also and there's some like myself that only know about 1 state and from what I know is based on like the last 10-15 yrs which is why I haven't made a list myself.

beano5 14 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 what about Reed and Paco...those two were a great tandem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol4 10 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 yea, you're right.. a great tandum... obviously though, as ahmad is starting ahead of paco, he is better. Â i saw ahmad while at marshall's recruiting camp. . . he is huge. he said that the NFL is talking to him, but quietly, as it is against the rules, somehow to talk to him already. Also.. has anybody noticed that Marshall is playing WVU, K State, and UT for three of their first four games. one word comes to mind for ahmad behind his 'less-than-par' line.... ouch. We'll see what happens though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neondion1 10 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Danny was a great back and kick returner, without question in his day one of the best and I agree the best to come out of Big Creek. Warner was a downhill train looking to do damage. Maybe the hardest runner I have ever seen, just a complete punisher w/ speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
