got an offer back from us. I remember him saying things that would indicate that he wasn't that interested in SMU's offer. Is that what you guys remember? Didn't we take the offer away from him at some point?

We seem to be the only one interested. Any idea what his real size is and his 40 time? Maybe LB or DE? Surely not a DT at the college level, right?

was this the really small kid that really wanted to play for a BCS school and couldn't understand why no one had offered?

On a side note, anybody need a patent attorney?

I don't think he got an offer back. His profile just still lists an SMU offer even though he was told it is no longer on the table.

Looks like he is going to have to prove himself at the JC level, unless there is something we do not know.

I'm not going to judge the kid because I don't know the story. But if he had a D1 offer and wasn't really impressed with it, then he has a little growing up to do.

This guy dominated his games. I think we are making a big mistake not taking this guy.

Did SMU pull its offer? Why? It seems like this kid would contribute immediately for us. His high school stats are impressive and he was player of the year. JJ has always said that film does not lie and this kid makes plays. We need all the defensive help we can get.

Anybody got a 40 on this guy?

I've heard he is no where close to 5'11 270.

I've heard 5'9 230. Is that right?

A 40 would tell us if he can play another position like LB.

Does anyone really think if he were fast enough to play LB in college that they would play him at DT in highschool? I'm going to go out on not much of a limb and say "no".

I thought he was against moving to LB.

Rossley wanted to move me to LB, and I played OL in high school! :shock:

It actually happens all the time. I believe Moczygemba played DT in high school but was moved to LB for obvious reasons in college.
