That Top 2 should be telling.

LB recruiting is a bigger issue than LB coaching. Are Branden Jennings and Zach McCloud playing much better with different coaches? Shaq and Pickney played pretty good with the same guys. One of the things that hurt development this year is the shortened spring and offseason. Guys like Huff and...

I wasn't talking about Hightower, I was talking about Jeff Thomas.

Alabama didn’t get burned, but San Francisco sure did. To me, the key is talking to the coaches and teachers. They’ll tell you if the kid is worth dealing with.

Taking shortcuts on character is how you end up with high QBs and WRs quitting in the middle of the season.

A lot of other teams seem to be finding reasons for not pursuing T2. He just got crystal balled to Auburn, which has the 39th-ranked class in the country and a coach on the hot seat.

Bama isn't after him.

One of the reasons Venables can run such a complex defense is because he recruits coachable players.

Because it makes no sense. If they were afraid of intense kids, they never would’ve offered Troutman and Johnson. There is more to it than that.

So they don’t like T2 because he is too talented, but are willing to take on lesser players with anger issues? Maybe this is about their evaluation of T2’s character. The Chaminade quote that @mjackson6 posted is pretty telling.

Troutman and Johnson have plenty of intensity. Maybe their situations are different than T2’s.

I don't know Lewis personally so I won't comment on his situation. However, in general, I support the coaches being strict on character. It's one thing to be a team-first guy with an edge, like Michael Irvin. It's another thing to be a negative presence. We loved guys like Eddie Johnson and...

Could be wrong, but I don't see us getting involved here. Character concerns.

One of the issues here is that Troutman and Johnson are already hot heads. They’ve been suspended for blowups.T2 is even more unstable which makes for a volatile mix. The other argument is that we are pooling our risk by taking three edgy personalities and hoping one works out.

Are you responding to a different post? Not sure what this is about.

How many of those guys did we sign out of high school? It’s a lot easier to evaluate and recruit established college players to Miami.
