Golden loves him some Raphael Kirby

a Lb core of Perryman, Kirby and Buchanon? BOW BOW!!

Don't sleep on Josh W either. I like where the LB core is going!

Kid NEEDS to RS this year, he has to put on some size, boy looked skinny out there. Then again, he should still be in high school so no need to be worried. Can't teach speed.

I think we'll see a lot of linebacking by committee next fall. I think we'll see Jawand Blue & Josh Witt either redshirt or be exclusively on special teams and everyone else rotating in. We're amazingly young at linebacker. Splitting reps is a good way to keep these kids healthy. I'd look for Gabriel Terry to have some situational reps as a blitzing outside linebacker in a 3-4 set).

With the dearth of talent we have at S, I would almost give Witt a chance there, but again it would be playing a kid out of position for depth which I'm not a huge fan of doing.

I suspect that Josh Witt will be a starting linebacker for at least two years here. The only thing he's lacking is 15 pounds of bulk.

Now all we have to do is go and get Thomas, Grace, and Deeb in the 2013 class and the LB core will be out friggin standing... We can even get George Williams... man would love to land those guys...

Met Kirby's dad playing golf this weekend. He was down for the scrimmage. Super nice guy and is really happy his son is at UM.

Didn't Golden say the same about Paul last year?
