dang i really was high on this kid, but man, it seems like we are crowded at LB at the moment.  dang

We have zero need for LBs in this class...we only play with two and have a ton of young talent on the roster already.   This will only be a problem if a bunch of guys transfer out.

It's two in name, but three in practice given the Bull position. This type of attitude has gotten us into trouble in the past (at QB for instance). We need to recruit virtually every position every year. That's how you keep a team stocked.

Guys, I can't disclose more, but per the recruiting insiders USF was forced to back off him due to academic problems-it wasn't the coach's choice. They were pretty high on him as a football player.

Hope it's not academic...I hate seeing kids miss out on scholarships, no matter where they go.

We are at least 4 deep at each of the two LB positions and no I'm not counting guys that play DE.  I'm sure we will still sign at least one mlb and olb in this class as well.  If everyone stays and we sign Micario Stanley we will have 5 middle backers alone and none being seniors plus Harris, Bayes, Brown and Sawtelle at weakside.  Josh Black is also still there too potentially.

The bull position is a myth imo.  Nobody on the roster is hybrid enough to play it effectively right now especially every down.  Best thing to do is to put the most athletic de there for now.  Maybe vincent jackson or josh black one day.

I've decided not to worry about who commits, doesn't commit, or decommits.  I'll welcome the ones that sign the dotted line and forget about the rest.
