The Miramar game was literally the first game of the season, you can't judge a player off 1 game lol.I'm just reiterating my stance from early in the year, for that 1 game;

I've definitely heard the same about the bolded portion (mind you, I only talk to Norland folk). First time seeing his SR stats, and I'm definitely surprised that he finished that strongly, again, based from the single game I saw early in the year.
On a side note, more towards OP, don't really think there is anybody on the board (aside from myself) that's talked down upon his potential here. Most, or any comments about Brooks were just over emotional/salty people lashing out when he decommitted after the whole coach debacle.
Senior Year:
I saw Brooks play live and I wasn't impressed. They had him lined up at rush end 80% of the game and he was playing tired from the beginning of the game until the 3rd quarter. Didnt pick it up until the 4th. The other team didnt go his direction much but I expected more during the passing downs but he got off the line slow, stood straight up, and seemingly held up the O lineman like he was a space eating DT. He got a sack(maybe 2?) towards the end of the game.
On the other hand, he looked like he had a really nice frame and lateral speed so he'll probably be much better off the line as a backer. This was also game 1 or 2 of the year for him, coming off an injury so he may have been nursing it and playing a bit scared. I ultimately have high hopes for him, he was amazing his sophomore as mentioned already but his SR year didnt deliver like I hoped it would've.
Ibeen on this kid the same as u....u know this and i know this is one of your guys fam. I loved this kid as a recruitSome of us have already explained this sh*t 100x on here, anybody doubting Sam will just have to eat crow & look stupid for it when the time comes.
The kid is cut from a different cloth & is a pure natural beast ready to ball out once he hits campus.
He's athletically identical to Lavonte David & has similar level of explosion. In this Defense he fits in the Weak side Backer spot perfectly & can be developed into a starter learning behind Pinckney.
Go watch his Senior tape, Idk why people keep acting like he sat the whole year & didn't play, he literally had his best season in his whole HS career last year.
I thought it was consensus around here this guy is a potential big impact player for us.
You laugh but since 2013 MNW has just as many 1st rd draft picks as the Canes
Teddy Bridgewater, Amari Cooper, Artie Burns, Deandre Baker.
With everyone crying about lack of LB depth.... he very well might see the field plenty this season.@Liberty City El
I'm gonna hold you accountable for gettin me excited.... The way you talkin he should get playing time this year
I don't think he'll be a starter this year but I do think he'll get pt on Special teams & will play in 2nd halfs if we get a lead.@Liberty City El

I respect your research and presentation 1000 percent. More so, for going against the group think that festers on this site.
Where do u see him best? Outside....i would just blitz this kid every play lolI don't think he'll be a starter this year but I do think he'll get pt on Special teams & will play in 2nd halfs if we get a lead.
But next year, he'll be in line to start imo. And hold me accountable I'll eat crow if I'm wrong Idgaf lol
Will LB, in the same role as Pinckney, just bring pressure & rack up TFL's in the backfield.Where do u see him best? Outside....i would just blitz this kid every play lol
Anyone talking **** about Brooks is an imbecile.
