Shaq's Last Visit (7 on 7)

That made me so happy to see him not waiver at all even in the face of Saban and Bama.

Your son and the rest of 2016 lb class are going to remind everyone that we were LB U for many years. When you pack him to come down here to play, please pack a 4x4 as a reminder to always bring the lumber. I think you boy will start where DP left off and leave here being mentioned near the top of our all time best lbs. I would say the best, but Ray might call down a lightning bolt on my rear.

Kirby is a senior so that MLB spot is open for competition.

Shaq being an EE helps his cause.

I kind of see Shaq as the Kaaya of the defense. Kid who is going to throw his helmet down day one and take starting job period. Not ever looking over his shoulder at Bama and Saban -- kids seems driven and focused. Cannot wait for that moment when he tacks up his first "Oh Lord!" hit on some poor ball carrier.

Starting day one is his plan... I see a tough road ahead.. I see advantage to J Young... especially after seeing J Young in the spring game he looked good. If Shaq wants it he will have to put in work... And the other backers comining in with him aren't coming to hold a spot on the bench... they want on the field also... Thats what I like about this class of LBs. Greg trys and play the humble role, but I know he wants on the field also.. and after seeing him in the 7 on 7... I saw he had pretty good coverage skills... he looked a lot better than Bush in my opinion... then you got the young bucks coming in right after them in Steed and Dunning... they want to dance at the party also... its on... competition will make every body better.

Amen. Violence on the practice field was our old way of life. Made games like fun. Blades boys threw down with each other many times and then carried it on in locker room too.

Shaqs pops, the first comparison that comes to mind when I think of the ceiling of what Shaq/Zach could become duo wise for us is the tandem of Patrick Willis/Navarro Bowman in the few seasons they dominated together. Shaq being the downhill thumper who tackles anything moving and leads the defense (like Willis) and Zach being the more rangy, athletic type who can run with RBs and TEs but still knock you out if need be...

What do you think about these comparisons and are the fair based on what you have seen from both kids and what you project them at 3-4 years down the road...Thanks.

Young is likely our starting mike by next season. He will likely eat some of Kirby mins this year too. He did look good in spring, big kid a thumper. I see quarter man coming in and logging mins as a true freshman and not redshirt ing at all. Quarter man will at minimal be on every special teams unit as a true freshman, meaning road trips for uknowwhat. The coming in early will set him apart from the others though
 
i have to say thank you for giving us an insight all through your sons recruitment you give us a first person view into the process of a top notch recruit good luck to you guys this season and can't wait to see him in orange and green
