Got Next: Anthony Johnson

The RFH Collective loves to see who is coming up the ranks in all of our favorite sports. That is why we created the "got next" segment. Check out the other players profiled, Bubba Starling, and Anthony Davis.
Typical Freshmen Year Picture
Last night LSU and Mississippi State had a typical SEC bloodbath where both teams made an average NFL team look soft. At one point, a MSU player seemed to be paralyzed on the field, but it didn't seem like anyone was phased in the slightest. Just another day in Starkville I guess.

Amidst this otherwise typical game, a defensive tackle on LSU caught my eye. He was over 300 pounds, got off the ball quicker than anyone on the field, and made a splash play that was astonishing. Just as I was about to look this kid up, the TV crew began singing his praises, in the process dropping that he was a true freshmen.

Got Next: Bubba Starling

The RFH Collective loves to see who is coming up the ranks in all of our favorite sports. That is why we created the "got next" segment. This is our second player profiled. The first was Anthony Davis.
Bubba Starling is a Hero, Gentleman, and Scholar
I have a confession to make. I have not followed baseball at all since the Red Sox traded away Manny Ramirez. Fortunately, the Widdoes side of The Collective has been able to carry the MLB banner on our blog. Although I have stopped following Baseball, one story caught my eye earlier today. The story involved a young man by the Name of Bubba Starling from the Kansas City suburbs. He is slated to be a top 10 pick in the MLB draft, but what drew me to him was his throw back versatility. In a day and age where athletes specialize in a sport from an early age, Starling is a rarity. He has excelled at football, basketball, and baseball. How much did he excel? Lets take a look.

Got Next: Anthony Davis

I knew that Anthony Davis was extremely well regarded but, until recently, did not realize the amazing gifts he possesses. I'm not sure who I could compare him to (a cross between Kevin Durant and Brandon Wright maybe), but what I do know is that he has what it takes to be next years #1 overall pick. I know its early, but I'm going to make that prediction right now. Check out some of Davis's highlights below. One section of note is at 3:35 where Davis makes an unbelievable defensive play.
