By what metric? Yards allowed per game? Points allowed per game? Have to normalize your numbers when factoring in different conferences and style of play ... things are far from equal.whuggy said:
Good thing they emphasize it. God knowsTequilla said:
They are one of the few Big 12 programs that has emphasized defensewhuggy said:
TCU has been successful on defense?Tequilla said:Bolton's the exact kind of MLB that TCU has been so successful with ... and you can definitely have a very strong defense with that kind of player ...
But the point is that you would always take a longer player like Azeem or Keishawn all things being equal
Aren't all their games like 71-63?
if they didn't they wouldn't have that impressive
78th ranked defense in the country.
TCU's defense sucked at times last year ... it was very good in 2014 and ravaged by injuries in 2015.
They've led the nation in defense under Patterson I believe 3 or 4 times ...
There are plenty of things to question Patterson about (namely QB play) ... defense isn't one of them -
i know we all had a strong idea that Bolton was going to commit to UW anyway, but apparently Bolton already told Roof where he was committing to and she promised not to spoil it (to which she promptly puts in a cristoball to UW the morning of his commitment).

This isn't a size doesn't matter post, but sometimes undersized guys are actually good. Adam Archuleta was a great player at ASU. Same for Pat Tillman.FKA_Mousecop said:
The main gripe with MLB who are short is if they can put on weight, but that's not even a question with Nick Bolton. Being 6'2" is nice, but not a requirement.WeakarmCobra said:
At best, I think he is wellington size. Which is fine, for middle LB. The kid can fucking playSwaye said:
I just don't think he looks anywhere near the 6' 2" plus guys we seem to be wanting to go for at LB. Looks like no way he's even at 6', but it can be hard to tell in pics so I figured I'd ask.WeakarmCobra said:
Dude he looks only about an inch taller than Peterman. He also wearing higher sole shoes.dnc said:

Last I saw he was listed at 5 tomahawks, 11 arrowheads.Swaye said:
How tall is this kid?WeakarmCobra said:
Petersen is good at finding "football" players. My worry about Bolton isn't his size, but his speed. You have to cover in the PAC 12 and the no huddle offenses make it hard to sub. I couldn't tell in his film, but the two down MLB doesn't work in college football.
Bolton is a football player though. I read he's been defensive MVP of his league two years in a row.
Having a high motor is a skill. Loving to hit is a skill. That's a reason these 7 on 7's and no pads camps are stupid.
Sometimes there is too much hoopla around size and athleticism.
Sure, there are players that are not prototypical sizes. That is not a binary with "size doesn't mean shit".
Holy fuck. Back to dawgman with this crap. -

Can't take the suspense?!!? Neither can I!?!?! Will it be Washington or some other school he never visited?!?
HMMM!!! -
Bolton will be my least favorite commit of the 10 we now have in this class.
5 years ago he would have been top 8 or so on a 25 man class. -
Did I miss a WOOF????

You can't expect to compete with Mississippi State only 9 years removed from 0-12.
