Not for nothing but every high school kid that goes D1 is a big time talent locally.
Agree, and putting in the work shouldn't be an issue, Isaih is a great kid as well as player.
I don't watch much high school football but remember watching PJ Walker in high school and thinking how in the world could Rutgers not offer this kid. Told myself the coaches must know better. Turns out my instincts were right.
Just a silly anecdote, but identifying football talent isn't rocket science and coming from a coach, this does hold some weight.
According to ESPN Recruiting Rankings Pacheco is the #35 ranked RB Nationally.
Had many offers : Iowa, NC State, Louisville ,PITT, Maryland, BC , etc.
We got a steal here. This guy is going to play this year and play big.
ESPN Rated him 3 Star as well. Kid is good enough without having to fabricate facts. Alternate reality , I guess, lol.

This guy is being underrated big time by the rating services. He's a 4 start like Sanu should have been.
Didn't know I had to say, I believe the kid is a four star. Sorry you had to do a ton of research and feel the need to share the rating services ranked him a three star. Seems strangely obsessive, but to each their own.
Took a total of 10 seconds. I knew he was 3 star on 247 and Rivals, took5 secs to look up his ESPN rating.
Just don’t see the need to lie or exaggerate subjective ratings. Once they get on campus , ratings don’t matter anyway.
He’ll start August as the 3rd string RB most likely behind Hilliman and Blackshear. Let’s hope he becomes a star. PS- he played mostly QB last year, although he ran from the QB position .
He looked very impressive during the spring game. Looked to be the most explosive RB on the team.
Be careful--ESPN ratings services is aces.
Remember their last 4 star RU recruit, #184 in the ESPN 300, and a fan favorite?

That said, I think Pacheco is going to tear it up here and set records.
Yep, that's basically what I said after the spring game. Can't see him not getting carries unless he has blocking or ball security issues...
Fabricated Facts ???? Read the upper right portion of your own Link. Rated at #35 in the position nationally . I’ll take that for a RB recruit anyday.

You had claimed ESPN gave him 4 stars. They actually gave him 3. As you can easily see at the top right of the link I attached.
Didn't he play QB his Sr year of HS? If so couldn't that have affected his RB rating?
To be fair ...he is a high 3 star recruit that a few people writing for the various web sites were in the opinion that he should have been a 4 star and under ranked
I’m glad to have him...could be a 1000 yard back his sophomore year

He was a four year starting QB at a Group 5 school.
Anybody who has seen this kid play since 7th grade knows what a talent he is.
A few ticks below a 4* RB, all this while he was basically rated on his QB play. So far, I like the chatter I am hearing about him. If he can play, the stars don't matter.

I never claimed no such statement. You have me confused with somebody else. I did say ESPN Rankings have him as the #35 ranked RB. Which is a fact.

Need him much more at RB IMHO.
We have Hillman for this Season only.
In 2019 all we have is RB Blackshear. Need Pacheco as well.
I like the way you're thinking. We'll need plenty of trick plays to stay with the Big Boys in our conference,
I been saying all along don’t sleep on Trey Sneed...we need help on defense so I can see either Pacheco or Lacewell moving to that side of the ball...
Lol not moving Pacheco to D. I'm sure that's not even being considered
Pacheco will be a B1G RB that will be successful. No knock on Trey but it will be like night and day. You will see.
You realize the same posters were saying the same thing about Snead after his freshman year right? He redshirted last year only because we had Hicks, Martin and Edwards and we didn’t need to waste a year for him to he 4th string...
Pacheco is a great athlete - high school QB...IMO he could move over to defense if the staff felt that’s where he can make an immediate impact whether he does or not is not the point it’s that someone as athletic as he could be a candidate to move to see the field earlier
