Icoming LB shocks Miami Coaches

It doesn't matter how fast you are if you are not a football player. This kid has a lot to prove to justify his offer.
 
Our staph has really worked wonders for these guys with this bloat diet they are obsessed with. It's much more effective than the speed kills philosophy that Jimmy Johnson loved.....or Urban Meyer.
 
Grace was 195 LB coming in. I don't think they'll be here long enough in regards to King anyway but hopefully they've learned their lesson with their size obsession. If King can run and play. *** the requirements.
 
Maybe move him to safety. Not every kid is going to be a starter or superstar, we need support players too. Our kick coverage teams have sucked monkey nuts the last several years. Maybe he can help on coverages? I'm trying to be positive...

James King can play, here are his junior highlights from 2013 season. He reminds me of 2007 LB/SS Lavonte David from MNW, who is now with the Bucs playing at 230lbs. David ended up at Juco then Nebraska where he was an All American, so there is another SFL kid one missed on (but that was on Randy Shannon).

With that kind of speed, he'd still be a fast LB at 220. I don't know if it's in his skill set, but as others have said I'm curious what he could do as a safety. Shoot, at that weight he's running track, corner isn't even out of the question.
 
Paranos I love ya, but you are comparing this kid to a guy who was a Consensus First Team All American and now a perennial pro bowler.
