I read somewhere else that the S&C personnel / program really got his attention ..... also how mamma liked CMLQuote:

Richard Sherman type DB..... he's not the fastest..... but he'll hit you in the mouth. May get a few PI calls against him..... but he won't be afraid to hit someone off the line. Not sure why he didn't get any other offers..... might be because there isn't the largest need for Juco CBs or teams already have their guys lined up like we did Darius Slay.
It's not like he's rated high, either. BTW, I am not bashing him or questioning that we're taking him. If the coaches like him, great. I'm just saying that this is not one I'd give the staff a ton of credit in regard to the actual recruiting aspect. He was an easy pull for us.Quote:

Would probably require a RS year, but that's fine if he has 3 to play 2.Quote:

Masters at manipulating the numbers. Who cares if they are any good or contribute as long as they increase our recruiting ranking?Quote:

Guy's been sitting in JUCO and seems to have a good build, but no other interest from P5's? Could be the staff thinks he's marginal but knows we need bodies at DB, so we are extending an offer we might not if former staffs had left us in better shape at DB.Quote:
