'13 AL LB Zac Cunningham

Well honestly you don't have to be a damn talent scout to know that it's unlikely for a sub 200 pound senior in HS to expect to come in and contribute day one in a 3-4 at OLB.

Who says he has to contribute from day one. Other than Campbell I don't think any of our lb commits will contribute on day one, but who knows maybe when they get to be JRs and SRs they will be ready.
 
"I'm not an uber scout or anything but I've been covering recruiting for 12 years and I'm telling you guys, Zach Cuningham is going to be a very good college player. He reminds me a lot of former Auburn LB Karlos Dansby coming out of high school. Dansby was an All-American at Auburn and is still playing in the NFL.

I bet this kid has a lot more "big" offers before we get too far into January. And I bet Auburn, Alabama and any other SEC/ACC school that doesn't offer Cunningham will eventually regret it."

-Bryan Matthews

Come on--VN posters are uber scouts and they know better than the coaches or anyone else.

If this guy was the 1st project LB we reached out too, I think it would be a more widely accepted offer.

but this offer on the heals of Campbell (lightweight JUCO LB) , Zanca ( converted LB), & Barnes (Converted LB) makes it easy to question what direction are we really headed
 
This is another step to a bad defense. We could've paid a different coach if Sunseri was going to go after mediocre or sleeper prospects all over. Sunseri is one of the biggest letdowns of a hire I've ever seen.

I like Zanca and Vereen. The Campbell and Barnes pick-ups have very good potential but they are projects.

Now where is the star of this group??? We need help like right now.

In Sunseri we trust?

Lol.

And there's your problem. This LB unit needs help in the worst way. Beyond AJ and Curt we are thin and the talent drops way down. We need immediate contributors or we're going to see the same defense again next year.
 
Harris, Bynum, and Lewis will all contribute next year.

Harris I can see. The other two, who knows. It's difficult to ask a player to come off of a major surgery and contribute. In Lewis' case, two major injuries in the last two years.
 
We are in many ways becoming an ideal place for 3 star recruits and as time passes you see Sal's history of being a great recruiter is ****. He recruited great at bama because well...its bama

Not being negative but Bynum, Harris, Lewis, and Maggitt all have been injured so far for us. I like them all too so don't take it like that. But we need guys coming in to take their spot in case they go down or just to take their spot period. We've got Maggitt out there even though he's hurting everywhere. It took the coaches 6 games to say hey we may need to play #54J.Williams to help him out. Now if that's how they feel about the depth why don't they recruit guys that can come in and replace these guys Day 1.

True. They can pick and choose who they want. No real recruiting needed. Saban has built a dynasty again.
 
We flat out need to start winning games to give the good recruits...if we start winning I think we can get Vonn Bell and possibly a guy like Yannick Ngaokue.
