Ge’mon Eaford

For one reason or another, Deerfield has always been a minefield for us. I can't remember the last time we got a highly sought after kid from there, or any kid for that matter. Jerry Jeudy. Rosendo Louis. Miguel Edwards. Brandon Powell. Aaron Robinson. James Pierre. Don't expect Eaford in this class.

I'm high on Rian and Huff too. Would love a class of Pierre, Brooks, Rian and Huff. If Eaford or Solomon end up in the class, I'm good with that too. Thing is we don't know how the staff have them ranked on their LB board. I think a class of Pierre, Brooks, Rian and Huff gives us great size and speed at LB.
 
He's a good LB no doubt, but don't hold filling up the LB class on his account. Recruit him, but if he gives any indication of bag game / wait 'til NSD bull&hit, then fill up the slots with others.

It'd be great to have him, but don't miss out on the others trying to hold a spot for him.

I don't doubt you Geta. But will he listen to what Richt has to offer? Louis face palmed us. One of the only kids to do so out of South Florida last year.

Yea that's the thing i'm not sure about. But he seems somewhat receptive...and if we rack up wins a lot of kids are gonna try to ride the wave. He seems like one of those types. The coachings staff at DB are front runners though and don't think any of them are canes fans. But talent wise you wont find much better than Eaford at Lb in S. Fla based off of film and level of competition.

I'm honestly not that high on the sta lbs other than Huff. Huff is the rangy type with growth range..think of Wilder.

Solomon is 6'0 190 and runs a 4.8 40 yd. Brown is about 4 pds (6'0 195) heavier but runs better than Solomon. Both are about the same size as corners were currently recruiting. Jordan Battle the FS is bigger than both and faster.

Rian Davis, Eaford, Huff are guys I would prioritize.

Some kids don't train in running the 40 but have game speed and just know how to play the position.

Solomon is a great LB with elite instincts at the LB position and I definitely want him in this class over Eaford.

Everyone likes to bring up size as such a huge deal with LBs, but they don't realize that our best LBs came in as Fr around 5'11 - 6'2 190 - 205.

They will add size when they get here.

For a LB, the most important thing is how quickly he can read the offense and react.

It usually takes guys who grew up rushing the passer like Brooks and Eaford a while to learn to be a LB (like MRob and McCord), hopefully both focus on playing LB this season to prepare them for college instead of just continuing to rush the passer.

In HS I started out at DE and transitioned to MLB, so I know the learning curve that takes place when having to learn to read OLinemen first then into the backfield to locate the ball, or drop back into coverage all in a split second. There is a lot more thinking once the ball is snapped at LB than DE, and that usually has guys plying slow if they have to think too much.

Guys that have played LB for years develop those instincts to just be able to read and react without thinking too much.

And for the guy not too impressed with Pierre b/c he plays weak comp, please realize that I'm not watching the kids he is playing against, I'm watching Pierre and his instincts at the position, they are elite, along with him having great size and speed for the position.

He is dominating that weak comp as he should. Can't ask for more than that.

I would be much more upset missing out on Pierre over any other LB on our board.
 
Can someone in the know give me an idea of who we actually lead for.

Taking only 1Lb last year was a risky decision. I was hoping we'd have the spots filled early, but from what most are saying we only have 1 solid LB commit and he's coming off a major knee surgery?

Over here poRsting away while you neglect your teams in the real life WEZ NFL mock draft. SMH.
 
Let’s see, Rian Davis weighs 233 right now before his senior year in HS...

You all know it’s absolutely no way he doesn’t outgrow LB, right? This kid is a DE all the way. He would be a 6’3 250+ edge rusher for us.

April 1st and fans complaining that we don't have 4-5 commits at LB yet. Can anyone provide proof that Pierre is a shaky commit? Everyone was gassed about Sam Brooks, now he's just some guy coming off knee surgery?

It's always about who we don't have. Once a player commits, he's an afterthought to CIS.

Post of the Week. You nailed the nuances of playing LB perfectly. How quickly one processes the play is infinitely more important than their 40 time.

I went to HS with Glenn Cook and Jon Beason. I always remembered that about Cook. He wasn't the fastest or the strongest. But Glenn knew how to sift through the trash could see a play develop before it actually developed.
He wasn't on the level of guys previously mentioned in tyrn's post, but he definitely is an example of a kid who can get to a ball-carrier before a speed-demon because he snuffs a play out early.
With linebackers being so close up to the line of scrimmage, unlike safeties, a guy who can see things well without a the benefit of a bird's eye view is very clutch to have.

@ me next time you're going to over react to my questions you punk.

The LB threads contradict one another. One second a guy is priority the next he's not a take. I just want to know what the LB board looks like, and it doesn't seem like anyone really knows.

Pretty simple: Huff, Solomon, Brooks, and Pierre. That is our projected class. Rian Davis if he wants to come will be a DE.

While I think DE is more likely, I don't think you can categorically rule out LB.

He said there is interest but he isn't sure if the staff will fight for him. He didn't say he wasn't a take.
