Sounds like a mafia hit man. Vinnie "the razor" Shavers.But seriously, Vincent Shavers just sounds like football player. Welcome to the U!!!
That’s what I mean, Mario’s recruitment of the position is focused more on speed. We just saw Manny recruit instincts over speed for six years. It’s refreshing to see Mario’s approach to the position. Especially with how wide open the CFB game is.Bissainthe doesn’t count?
Mauigoa doesn’t count?
Bobby W doesn’t count?
Aguirre doesn’t count?
If Manny was recruiting intincts, he did a pathetic job. Too many of the LBs he recruited were converted DEs who were helpless attempting to diagnose a play. Speed is great, but if you're slow at diagnosing the play, you're going to play slow even if you run a 4.3.That’s what I mean, Mario’s recruitment of the position is focused more on speed.

I agree there isn’t a more important skill. But this program for too long has forsaken physical talent for a perceived mental talent at that position. I’m not saying we are targeting athletes hoping to make them instinctual. It’s just good to see us placing a strong emphasis on speed at that position.If Manny was recruiting intincts, he did a pathetic job.

Note: I'm assuming when you say "instincts," you mean diagnosing the play. There likely isn't a more important skill for a LB.
great shot sequence.Welcome to the U, Vincent!
Well thanks, but we haven't gotten guys with instincts/diagnosis ability at the position. In fact quite the opposite.I agree there isn’t a more important skill.
