Back to Stepp (if anyone recalls, the original topic of this post):
I can say it now since he's committed to USC..., I think the guy is slightly overrated. He's got good speed in the open field but on his highlight tapes he rarely breaks many tackles and appeared to go down relatively easily.
Now I figure I must be missing something since a lot of "name" schools offered him but I'm far from devastated that we didn't get him. I think (based on the little bit of tape that I've seen) that Walker is better.
It appeared to me that most of Stepps numbers were the result of running behind one of the better offensive lines in the state...
That's not sour grapes (although I'm sure it reads like that), that's just my assessment of what I saw on tape. I hope he has a fine career at USC but it doesn't bother me at all that someone else is going to use that scholarship.
Just my 2 cents...
