He's a little to light in the pants. Quick as all cats just a little to light and small. I think there are bigger backs in the state that can do the same thing. IMO

i think hes big enough..he's like a metcalf..will be a great college back/reciever..hopefully he wont go to tulsa..he's a smart kid..it may be in his best interest to go to another small private/public school..get some more recieving skills...maybe a shot at the nfl that way...tulsa wont do it for him...

Currently Playing - I'd say yes......but I think Devin Thomas from Mad is still best back I've seen, and Thank God his injury will allow him to come back at 100%. DT is bigger and stronger...MW can fly but what will happen at the next level when the DI LBs get a shot at him? College Speed and Size is an entirely different animal......For now though.....MW is the best active back.

you aren't lieing!!!:eek: This kid last year in the OC v. Reagan game was an animal!! Even this year, the more pressure the better he gets!!! As far as best back in 5a, I would have to say at least in the top 10 for texas.

Region 4: Devin Thomas, SA Madison (Sr.); 235 rushing yards and 4 TDs in Madison's big win over O'Connor.
Region 4: RB Devin Thomas, San Antonio Madison (Sr.); 37 carries for 374 yards and 3 TDs in the Mavs big road win at Smithson Valley.
How about the QB's for DeSoto and CHill, they are running backs disguised as QB's.:cool:

11-21-2007, 01:03 PM
id say in all 5a the top 5 would have to be (in no particular order)
Aundre Dean (katy)
Cyrus Gray (desoto)
Devin Thomas (mad)
Tre Newton (southlake)
Marcus Wright (reagan)
if you wanted to look at just numbers than mishak rivas from the valley ranks pretty high as well
i would say wright is good, but not top back in all 5a

Of course, being in R3 I've mostly seen our areas backs and aside from Dean, Shane Turner (Cy-Falls) and McGuffie (Cy-Fair) are very good.

Rios is a classical case of a great high school player who will be nothing more than that after graduation. He's fun to watch and has all the skills but he's a little short on everything - height, speed, etc. for the college game.
My San Antonio top 5 are:
1) Devin Thomas Madison
2) Marcus Wright Reagan
3) Trent Rios Smithson Valley
4) Stephen Carillo Devine 9 TD's in one game last week
5) Robert Shaw Judson

You have got to be kidding me!! Best back in 5A, I don't think he's even close!! I believe he's a good back but not a tremendous one. Don't get me wrong I think he's good, but to me Devin is the better back. He's bigger, stronger and just as quick. I along with quite a few other people would take Devin as well. I really like the back out of Katy as the best in the state.

Not a tremendous one???? You've got to be kidding me!! I don't know if Marcus is the best in the state, but he is a tremendous back whether you prefer DT or not. By the way WagnerDad, have you even been to a Reagan game the last two seasons? If so, you must have had your head in your popcorn box.

That's very impressive, and it takes a stud to put up those kind of numbers. However, Marcus and Devin play in 26-5A. Like it our not, it is a much tougher district. That being said, it is impossible to compare RB's when they play against different levels of competition all over he state. I can say this, Marcus does things on the field that you just don't see very often at the high school or college levels. It is a shame that people want to discount his ability to take it to the next level due to his size. SA has been blessed to watch Marcus and Devin play ball. Projecting to next year, Miles from O'Connor is going to be outstanding.

"He has run for 631 yards and eight TDs in two postseason games this season. Add it up and that's 1,746 yards and 26 TDs in only six playoff games.
Folks, that's an average of 291 yards and 4.3 TDs a game"
"Held to zero yards during a disastrous first quarter, Wright cracked 100 in each of the final three to finish with 340 — just 14 off the career-high he set against Laredo United in last year's postseason.
Having already passed ex-Judson star Jerod Douglas for second on the city's career rushing list, Wright needs 43 yards in next week's third-round playoff clash against Los Fresnos to break Douglas' single-season record of 2,967, set in 1992."

Let the #s do the talking
Numbers are decieving when it come to backs. If a back is on a team where he is the main offensive weapon then his numbers may be huge. Take Andre Dean on Katy's team. His numbers could be twice what they are but he is on a team with many offensive weapons and doesn't get the ball as much as a back on a more one deminsional team. He has a commitment to UCLA and you don't hear much about him outside of Katy because the passing and running yardage are pretty even. He no small back either. 6'1 210 lbs.

I don't dispute that both are great backs. Devin certainly has the size which projects better at the next level. I have no problem with someone's preference of Devin over Marcus. If so, just say so. I have not seen every other back in Texas first hand, and have not basis to judge where either of the two should be ranked statewide. I have a problem with the tone of the post when wagnerdad stated that Marcus was not a tremendous back, just a good one. IN MY OPINION, no one who has any idea about football could have watched Marcus play could make that statement.

I haven't posted Mishaks #'s for his FR year but he played I believe 6 games his FR year on Varsity.
Remember, Bradley Stephens was HEAVILY recruited by Ohio State, A&M and over 20+ D1 schools......and he also played in the RGV last season, so sometimes, #'s don't lie....other times..they do.
Just an article from a local paper:
“I’ve actually thought about it,” said Rivas, who runs a blazing 4.39 40. “I actually wanted to play against him. It would have been a great offensive show for the Valley, but we didn’t get the chance. Maybe coming up next year, or in a couple of years, hopefully we can go at it, and it would be something amazing to watch.”
And something more likely to happen than some might think.
“I’ve talked to (Texas coach) Mack Brown,” Weslaco coach Tony Villarreal said. “I caught him at a conference and I dropped (Rivas’) name, and he’s got him on his Web site, in his data base, and all that stuff.”
Still, being in a database is a long way from signing a scholarship, and Rivas knows that. But Texas isn’t the only NCAA Division I school sending recruitment letters to Rivas. By his estimate, he’s received letters from 15 to 20 schools, including Texas, Oklahoma, Notre Dame and Michigan - and none from any D-II or D-III schools.
Wright: 35/353/8

"But of all the great backs who have dominated the fields of San Antonio, none can match what Reagan standout Marcus Wright has accomplished over the past two postseasons.
The numbers, amassed over six games, are staggering: 1,764 yards, 26 touchdowns and an average of 8.8 yards per carry. His "worst" effort was a 163-yard performance against Seguin last year in his playoff debut. Since then, he's rushed for 267, 354, 331, 291 and 368 yards (see Observations).
Any one of those games would be the career pinnacle for most backs. For Wright, it's expected.
Fueled by his postseason exploits, the 5-foot-7 speedster is on the cusp of a slew of city records.
Only 15 yards away, he's virtually guaranteed to break Douglas' 15-year-old single-season city mark of 2,967 this week against Los Fresnos.

Not debating, if you would read the post closer. Douglas only played 2 and half years. Due to injuries in his sophomore year, he missed 3 games which is the same total he missed his senior year and very seldom played in the 4th quarter his last two years. Leave it to one of the triplets to turn things around and not get the facts correct, yet can't stand it when the facts are presented. Anyway I was complimenting the young man on an excellent career and was just stating to cap of an outstanding career a ring would be the icing on the cake. GL this weekend. Hope it's a 26-5A doubleheader in the Alamodome the following weekend.

No one is ever going to agree about who is better. Can we not all just appreciate the fact that two of the finest rb's in the state call SA/265 home? I doubt that any high school coach would be unhappy with either one. Give it up already. Rios is one fine stud, but he's not anywhere near the class of Devin or Marcus. I have asolutely no basis of comparison to Rivas from Weslaco or Newton for SLC, but I'm sure both of them are studs as well. So who's better? Who cares. All I know is Marcus will be wearing the Rattler green and white vs Los Fresnos on Saturday and that's good enough for me.
Ill be honest if Marcus was the best back in the game right now he would be getting more looks than he did. With the amount of carries the kid gets per game he better have crazy numbers. The whole Reagan football team is Marcus Wright due to the coaches praising him so much. The other Players and the players families cant stand it either. I do however see the case people can make to say he is the best back numbers are numbers

I know you have..."conncetions" (we'll call it that). But thats a pretty broad statement.

Its no secret that the coaches tried to put Marcus on defense this year and the parents had a fit....and why would Reagan be racist?

Both are very good i think Sam will do better in college because of size....but Marcus has the better numbers in high school right now

Really? Wouldn't suprise me. but with the amount of money going Wetzel's way. I'd let him do whatever. Although the parents do run Reagan.
I guess you haven't seen the Los fresnos thread. (and it was a reply to your sig about us being racist)

Thats the thing about marcus. he's a really good high school back but people are unsure about his college career.
Just like how a great college player may not fare well in the NFL.

Sam McGuffie at 100% has my vote as the best 5A back....

I Jus Don Think Anyone In The State Is Better Than Devin Thomas....
If He Had Stayed Healthy Yall Would See, I Would Say Close 2 3000 Right Now....
He Hits The Hole Way Harder An Wright Is More Tippy Toe Through The Hole, That Doesnt Work Against A Good Dfence...we Saw This Against Madison....
Take Away The One Long Run In The 1st Qtr And He Had Under 100 Yds
You take away Devins two touchdown runs against Wagner and he had 24 yards on 11 carries. You cannot take away any runs that happened.

Havent seen the kid(Wright) play, but anybody with numbers like that is good. I would like to see his stats against defenses that give up around 150-200 yards rushing a game. I cant put much value in his career playoff stats because of the cakewalk that the 26-5 gets until the region finals. I just dont get too excited with Big numbers against teams from the bottom of region4. And yes, more than half of the teams that make the playoffs in R4 are in the bottom of region4.
Its no secret that the defenses arent as strong in the 265 this year as years past...it seems that everyone wants to take more pride in their offense these days, and thats statewide.

.... What are you talking about ? As far as Wright goes ... He's going to the good ol mid-major conference USA scheduled to play against the likes of Army, UTEP, Houston and UCF .... DT is going to the SEC (to replace a HEISMAN HOPEFUL :notworthy ), I know you've heard of that conference, BIG TIME BALL !! going against the likes of Alabama, Auburn, Tenn., and LSU !!! LSU :notworthy ... There is simply NO comparison .... Where does Sam McGuffie play and has he signed yet ? I honestly haven'y heard of him ...

marcus commited early to somewhere that he has a good shot at playing at
somewhere that wont write him off because of his size
dont think its because he didnt get offers elsewhere
lsu sucks

I won't go into detail to protect people's privacy but letters addressed to Marcus fell into the wrong box(they were directed to the right party immediately upon notice) and all i'll say is they were some 'big time' schools.
Big XII, SEC, etc.
