I didn’t think he has played much. Obviously, quiet is good if he is playing. Have you guys seen him on the the field a lot. Admittedly, with 2 small children it is hard to pay close attention.
I really would have liked to see Scaife vs Amona. NPF got abused by him. Would have been a nice comparison to see how he performed.

We really got better on the OL. Reed will need to lose a few pounds, but he and Scaife have been impressive.
Someone said Blades didn’t do anything impressive?

Why is a top caliber Miami LB going to Louisville?
Because we didn’t recruit him
To be fair, a lot of the top schools didn't recruit him. He ran a 5.1 40 at a camp in 2016 and didn't run the 40 at the Miami Opening in 2017. Uhdl shows him as a 4.83 guy at 230+ pounds but he could be closer to 4.9+. Based on what i read, he struggled at camp settings in space. That's not to say a 4.9 LB can't play well in college.....Scooby Wright was 4.9, Kentrell Brother for Mizzou was 4.89, Paul Dawson was 4.95 for TCU and Preston Brown lead Louisville in tackles (94) and TFL (13) at 4.86. That said, guys with slow 40's being very successful are usually exceptions to the rule, especially as the game has spread out and been more about space and speed. He's definitely a thumper inside against the run on tape.
He was committed to Auburn spring of 2016 but they stopped talking to him, so he decommitted in September 2016. He named Louisville his favorite before ever visiting but said he wanted offers from Bama, Clemson and FSU. The top schools never recruited him so he signed Louisville. He did make a few unofficial visits to Miami.
