Nah they've been really good at identifying good players. When they like somebody that player is far more likely to be good than not.MisterEm said:

Where they've struggled, sometimes badly, is with the guys they hate. Tons of those guys have turned out to be good or better. -
They? can speak for themselves but I was the OG Dick Newt rider.dnc said:

The guy flashed multiple times in his first real playing time. And he’s a freshman. He has FOUR YEARS of eligibility. This is a good indicator that he will be a stud.HoustonHusky said:Meh...hope he speeds up a bit. He looked slow to me.
Don't think he's bad, but don't think he's going to be tearing it up for 4 years. The ILBs as a whole didn't impress to me...they and Salvon were my biggest concerns coming out of the game. -
Maybe, but the problem is we need him this week. I'm not worried about 2 years from now. Our ILBs were Manu (leading LB tackler this game...'nuff said), Wellington (who started and got a total of 2 tackles...that scares me), Tafisi (who had some crunching tackles but missed on some standard plays and looked slow doing it), and Sirmon (who looked like a RSFreshman out there).HonestDon said:

If you are looking for the weakest link in our D I'd point there.

I may be wrong, but I thought I remembered the TSIO guys being high on Tafisi. They said if he was 2 inches taller then Bammer would be all over him because of his play style. He just got screwed on the height but would be a good player for us.CuntWaffle said:I remember watching his highlights for either junior or senior year and thinking he clearly stood out.

Fyi, i said he'd be starting after spring ball. But what does 3-star have to do with it? Most teams in top 20 recruit a majoity 3 stars, on average. Your point on #53?HonestDon said:

If bama played 9 games, in at least an average conference, and played a home and home (only fbs program who doesnt) youd see 3 stars kicking the shit out of bama's 4-5 stars. IOW, the star system is a laugher. Has been for 20 years.
#53 also missed a lot of plays. Manu's days are numbered, , but tafisi needs more games under belt b4 starting, vs real competition. As i said in spring, Cal can beat UW. Theyll attack our backers and young secondary AND have the defense to stay in game -
Not sure why you’re responding to my post...I made no point about Tafisi in regards to his star rating.puppylove_sugarsteel said:

Good call on him coming out of spring ball.
Struggling to unpack what you’re saying about Bama but the star system is useful when looking at a team’s aggregate talent. The teams with the most blue chip talent are the teams winning championships.
I hope you’re wrong about Cal successfully attacking our defense. If that dreadful Cal offense can do it, it’s going to be a long season.
Interesting little factoid about Bama’s schedule. Are they really the only team without non-conference home and homes? -
IIRC they were down on him initially then came around on him in a big way.DoogCourics said:
