I don’t want to pile on Flagg as everything has already been said

And I shouldn’t bother piling on Manny…but I’m gonna

What’s wild about Flaggs recruitment is how much of a priority Manny made him. I’m not against filling out the roster if you have to with some kids that are limited but can play ball, but Manny seemed to be looking at this kid going “there’s the one right there”

🤦🏼‍♂️

There was a HS game where his school played another on ESPN and I aint gonna lie...he looked pretty impressive at MLB. There is a thread in the Recruiting Board archive of the game. There were alot of posters who were saying he looked like he could play MLB here with some development, including myself.

That said, in order to get where we want to go.. Flagg cannot be starting in any capacity. Quality depth for a few series to give Popo Aguirre a breather here and there? Sure. But starting? No way. (and YES, I know you saw what I did there, Lol)

Yeah the kid is limited physically. It is what it is. Not sure why people keep watching him thinking next week it’s suddenly going to change

Gimme a LB like Washington though. Big, aggressive, violent etc and let our coaches teach him up

People really overrate the ability of an S&C coach to suddenly make players into those things. You’ve got it in you or you don’t when you get to this level
 
Shaq was probably our defensive MVP his final two years at Miami. Flagg isn't anything like Shaq. He's more like a faster Jennings than a slower Shaq.

That said, I agree with @cway313 that Shaq should be our baseline athleticaly going forward. If we want to be national champions again, we should be looking for beasts at every position.

All the LBs we have committed in the 2023 class are as athletically gifted as Shaq, so we're on the right track. Malik Bryant, for example, posted a laser timed 4.72 40-yard dash at 235 pounds vs Shaq with a 4.78 at 234 pounds at the NFL Combine. Bryant is still in high school, Shaq was wrapping up college. I couldn't find Aguirre or Washington's times. But they look equally fast, probably more so.

Not sure any of them will turn into the next Ray Lewis. But we're headed in the right direction. Thank you Charlie Strong.

I remember posting “ y’all gonna miss him when he’s gone”. That guy cleaned up so much bs that nobody even noticed. There would’ve been multiple big plays a game that he put perfume over. We saw what happened the year after he left. Dude was a really good college mike.

Exactly smh, I always preached it too
 
Shaq had 356 tackles 46.5 tackles for loss and 12 sacks as a middle linebacker . That’s very good production and nothing to slouch at lol. Anyways and he was by far our best pass rushing linebacker in recent memory too

Washington is a sub 4.5 guy. Aguirre has acceleration and twitch so straight line speed isn't as important. All three are athletic upgrades to the position with Aguirre looking the most ready to contribute early.

I’m excited about the group we have committed for sure plus a few on the roster already

Gee I wonder why our pass rush is not disciplined

Bc it was the first week of the year and they were playing a high school team? Easy to get over excited but they’ll be more disciplined moving forward

Their QBs were mobile. These guys will be getting coached up on contain responsibilities moving forward

Yes you replied with a logical answer. I was more referring to our previous corch who told our guys to fly upfield like a fat kid to a buffet

Shaq was better than Flagg. Shaq was still flawed. Both can be true.

Unless a player is perfect he is flawed. No player has ever been perfect lol

Shaq was a great college LB. He wasn’t Perryman or at the level of some of the greatest ever for UM, but he was solid and a shining star in our defense for a long time. No reason to trash him

Good thing I didn't trash him. It's almost like some here never learned the second part of reading.

Like I said some people want another Shaq some people want another Vilma(me).

Everyone wants another Vilma or Ray Lewis. No one is arguing that Shaq is better than Vilma.

There is also always room for a guy like Shaq on the roster.

It doesn’t make you Bill Belichick to want HOFers

People are probably just upset that you’re trashing and belittling guys that were good college players and did a lot for the program

You can say you want guys with more athleticism at the position without knocking guys who have bled and sweat for the program

@Cribby said Shaq was under appreciated while he was here and you went out of your way to say that it isn’t true and the bar is just set too low with Flagg and that Shaq wasn’t that good.

Shaq was good. He produced since his freshman year lol. You can want better that’s fine but you don’t need to be a 🍆weed about it

You’re always so negative bro. Lighten up

Nah I want 10s all around and so does everyone else on here. We just don’t **** talk the guys who put on for the program and we don’t live in a fantasy world where we can pretend that there are endless Vilma’s waiting to make Miami great again and anyone below that level isn’t good enough
