Hetherman is very focused on traits and physicality. He wants long, fast guys who test well and can get off blocks. He believes in his ability to develop guys who may be more raw.

@Coach Macho and @gogeta4 had a great discussion on why it's so difficult to recruit quality LB prospects here in Florida. I forget what thread it was on so I'm sure either one of those guys will tell you. Anyway the exchange between those two really opened my eyes as to the root cause of our struggles at LB.

It's for this reason that the quoted part above about Hetherman caught my eye. We have been needing a total reset in the way we evaluate and coach LBs and from what I've recently learned from the two gentlemen who post here, Hetherman's philosophy and coaching style with LBs is something that should seem like a breath of fresh air!

It’s crazy how rarely we have gone after true LBers. We love our rush ends or 3-4 hybrids or strikers or in-the-box thumpers. But a true LB like a Jermaine Grace was supposed to be or a Wiley and Washington could be, we are almost never in the game.

Also not just Florida

Look at the Wilkes kid from Alabama we are recruiting. Kid is a beast but he was playing edge. They move him to LB and he dominates but he’s still being viewed as an EDGE because he’s 6-3, 6-4 225ish as a 16-17 year old
 
I appreciate the effort you put in on these Bank's, D$. Pickett is going to have to do a lot of work to transform his body. I wish he would start now. I have been wanting to push for Jennings. Things are about to get real interesting with UM's recruiting shortly so get on him. I am all team Heatherman at the moment. Glad he is liking Ali. I just wish he would waste a little time on Xavier Griffen. Let me dream. I love Lawrence in 28 and understand the connection, but if they don’t also develop a relationship and pursue Wade at IMG also, I am not going to be happy.

I'm far from a blind optimist, but for some reason this feels like its going to be Mario's best class of his tenure thus far.

Maybe not from a rankings standpoint, but from an eval standpoint it appears like we're getting some high quality players if we sign most of our top targets.

I agree. Maybe the dude they brought in for smith job is making a difference. Seems like they are casting way bigger nets at every position more so than in past years too
