I cannot wait to see how Marcellius Pulliam & Raul “Popo” Aguirre develop in Guidry’s defense. Then boys are head hunters 😤💪🏾

Not only small, but small AND slooooooooooooooow.. Bruh, how does that happen
Some of the kids we’ve brought in for the better part of 2 decades have been head scratchers. It’s like somewhere along the way, we forgot “the blueprint”. Get kids that fit your system, and at a school like UMiami, they better be able to run!!!! A UMiami team should NEVER be lacking in speed. Look where the **** we’re located. I still can’t figure out how the **** our track teams ain’t perennially amongst the top schools in the country… (at least the **** sprint teams), but that’s another discussion for another day, 😂. Now…. if the ILBs you normally recruit are 6’2 215, then that’s what you recruit. The caveat being, that the farther he’s away from what you normally recruit, then the faster he better be. If he’s a 5’11 195lb kid, the he better be faster than any LB on your team, and average about 17 tackles a game! If not, you don’t recruit him.
 
Somehow I thought this would have to do with Mauigoa and Okunlola

Yep… spoiled by Ray and Vilma. Falsely believing we’ll strike gold again by continuing to recruit 190+lb LBs.

Vilma came in at 6' 195 lbs. Ray not much more than that. But generally, you probably want guys 210+ when you recruit them.

Most important thing is vision/diagnostic ability (some refer to this as "instincts"). If a kid doesn't have that, highly unlikely he'll be a good LB no matter how big and fast he is. Never liked trying to convert undersized DEs to LB (which was most of Manny's LB recruits).

This is what concerns me about Malik Bryant as he did a lot of that rush LB stuff in HS. I hope he has what it takes to be a true Mike because we need him to fill that void for the future. And not just be serviceable but highly productive.

“Has alot of tackles on the HS level”

Runs a 4.9 40 but high IQ

"Like a coach on the field"

"A hard hat and lunch pail type of guy"

"The kind of young man you want to marry your daughter"

... and then when his eligibility is finished ...

"He probably won't test well at the combine"

"Hopefully someone will give him a chance as a free agent"

"Miami coaches say a key recruiting objective is to get faster at linebacker"
