Black is a great high school LB, and has the frame and toughness to play MLB in a year or two for us. The reason why his offer list is lacking has NOTHING to do with his play and everything to do with his grades. Most schools don't think that he will make it in. We are one of the few (only?) (former) BCS schools recruiting him, so Coach T must thing he will have a chance of becoming eligible. I really hope we get him because he can be a three year starter here, but I think it's going to be Marshall.

Capone24 Posted January 9, 2014 Group: Member Topic Count: 7 Content Count: 185 Reputation: 0 Days Won: 0 Joined: 09/28/2007 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I really like this kids film and think he's a must get if we can land him. With his size, speed and athleticism he could be a great player for us either as an OLB or WDE, he really has a nose for finding the ball carrier. Who knows maybe Coach Bres implements different packages next year and utilizes our athletes more to play fast like he's been alluding to. We're going to be loaded with athletes on the defensive side of the ball next year and that should help against some of the offenses we'll face in our conference. Also, I remember hearing that recruiting analysts have said that Juwan Brown is too slow to play OLB and Bayes obviously needs to bulk up, so technically we don't have any OLB's, since Bayes could also end up somewhere else? If you look at our roster all of our OLB are really lite for that position and Black would be a good sized Sam LB w/ the potential to be a down lineman if necessary.

It must be grade issues. If we don't land Jackson, then I'll be slightly disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems Marshall is taking commits from everyone that can't get in anywhere else. These guys can't qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you want about UM but if grades were an issue they wouldn't be sniffing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the changes on scouts and rivals profiles, but that's it. 247 doesn't show a commit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
