Same board that flipped out over brash tweets from Gadbois, Gall and Berrios. Now everyone hates their guts.
Don't create another Twitter monster that you will destroy. Let him do something and not just say things.
I kept hearing on here that recruits would instantly follow him to UM because of his incredible leadership. Then we fizzled out in recruiting after he re-affirmed his commitment. Don't create another word hype monster for us to cannibalize.
I feel you 100%. But it starts with having the alpha mentality, approach to the game, and willingness to hold teamates accountable. The more players like this you have on your team the better you are in practice and play. His on-field performance is beyond reproach at the HS level, and believe it or not it's easier to recruit talent than leadership.
I expect nothing less than Duke Johnson physicality and play at WR from this kid. Same make-up to me athletically, but Bruce seems to be more of a leader in mentality.
You can't say that if you aren't in the locker room or on the field with these guys (in terms of leadership mentality). When Duke was in high school I witnessed him motivate his team mates and even his backup RB multiple times. He stutters at times and has general speech problems, most people like that would shy away from speaking to a large group of people, but it definitely didn't stop him from saying what was on his mind.
