Gaby on LB recruiting

[bobbydigius]

Just bring in the kid transferring from Auburn. We waste more money on HS linebackers than anything. The big ticket ones never play here.

An Auburn fan told me he is a headcase and the players came to Golesh and said he has to go. Is really good though.

For missing meetings, not answering calls/texts, yelling at people who called him out for bad behavior, etc. His own teammates wanted him out

***** it, send them Lowe and we get Atkins.

Nutcase for nutcase & see who can fix their broken toy first.

They say he’s a head case, locker room cancer.. another Hayden Lowe type situation.

from Auburn side:

All he had to do was put his head down and show up in order to be drafted this spring.
Instead he decided to miss meetings, flip out on support staff, show up late to far too many things, become a crappy teammate, and a nuisance to drivers of Lee County (and folks looking for open handicap spots).

Yeah no shot we pursuit the AU kid IMO.

Did we lose a bidding war for Biles to Texas, or did he just choose the Longhorns? Sometimes I wonder how much this staff values the LB position.

In terms of budget allocation it’s probably last…look at the linebackers Indiana won with last year. None of them were blue chip recruits or physical freaks.

Especially now a days. You just need very smart guys who know their assignments and can fill a running lane.

You can have all the talent in the world but if you can’t consistently be where you’re supposed to be you’re not going to play

Quarterman and Pickney were good examples of this. Not all world but smart and physical. I miss having guys like that at LB

Yup, that's exactly what you need in LB. Speed and size are great but don't mean much if you can't do that. Shaq and PInckney, as other poster noted, are perfect examples.

Nope Nope Nope

Unfortunately it’s not a priority position in modern football. Most teams spend the whole game in nickel and of the two linebackers they use, one is normally just a big safety.

If I have a budget to spend on players, linebacker is definitely one of the positions I’m going cheap on.

We’ll have a white and a Black Cypher on our team.

Sounds like drugs
