You provide lots of good info on this board and I like your contributions, but after our disagreement about the Tampa 2, Lance Thompson went on the record saying that he would not be using the same large LBs under Monte's system.

I didn't see Lance say that but I have no reason to doubt you. With that said I know for a fact they have recruited Jones as a Linebacker.

I agree. King has a lot of talent.

Yeah I think Luc and Jones are looking likely and I could not be happier. I think they create the best LB group of freshman in the country except for PSU's.

Is there any chance we get Shirley also?

PSU's??

You think Fortt and Hull would be better than Jones and Luc? No way

[MikeHamiltonFan]

Jones and Luc will be better IMO, but I could see someone arguing PSU is comparable. If we added Shirley it would not be close.

I think we would be done at LB with Luc, C. Jones and, of course (don't forget him b/c he may end up being the best), Michael Taylor, who's having a sick year! Those are 3 LBs you can build a future around. I think the Greg King love is right on the money, too. I suspect w/ those 3 mentioned above, we allow Ralph Williams to indulge Ole Miss' begging and praying.

Nelson is gonna have to be dam good to see the field at LB with the guys we have coming in. Hopefully when Rico leaves we'll get to see Askew get some PT.

Why? Because he was highly ranked? You made it sound like the fact that he is not playing is some kind of conspiracy. I was really excited about him when we signed him. But it is obvious he was not as good as some other LB's we signed. Works that way sometimes.
