South Florida '18- The LBs

[skeeter]

Guys I think it's really as simple, no matter what some of this board think...That they have to be BLOWN AWAY to take a 2nd lb this year.

But why Joyner over some of the other guys out there tonight? Attitude? Higher ceiling?

I love Joyner's tape...If they wanted 2 or 3 I think obviously Bonitto would have gotten an offer. They recruited him.

Then Joyner must be the next coming of Sean specne or Denzel perryman which he is not

the staff missed and missed big time on this one

oh well..... SF is loaded with LB'S in the 19 class

They wanted 1...They got the 1 they wanted.

doesn't mean they got the right 1... time will tell but the verdict is still out

I agree with you 100%...But a few in this post acting like they know Bonitto going to be better. My post was in response to them. For now, Miami got the one they offered.

Sam Brooks Jr is coming next year. He got this.

My understanding is Hicks has some limitations in space. Good looking prospect, but if we play more 4-2-5 going forward we will need a Mike with some yiddyup.

He is slow in games. Go watch hicks highlights. He cant play in space and is stiff.

If that were my daughter, this summary would have ended a bit differently.
