We have had 4 DBs kicked off that would have been starting or at least playing a lot now:
Janzen Jackson (may have left after last year anyhow)
Darren Myles
Mike Edwards
Lanier
and Randolph is hurt
He really boomed it in high school, punting and kicking. It must be mental. I saw one of his high school games on TV and he was hitting punts so long and high, the returners were going in circles and having a hard time finding the ball.
Coaches should not pay much attention to ratings from recruiting services. Coaches are much better talent evaluators than the guys from the services doing the evaluations.
Brown carried the ball a couple of times this year. Wouldn't he have to sit out next year to play at a Division 1 school next year. That would be his 5th year.
There is a graduate assistant who I believe does most of the coaching of running backs. He was Dooley's RB coach at LA Tech. Not sure how much help he may get from others.
