@sonics1993 Where do things stand with Will Latu? Have we cooled on him?

Yes they have. He gained too much weight and doesn't fit anywhere.

Julien being recruited as RB? Is that one of many reasons he's not feeling us?

Yeah they brought it up to him a couple months ago since they only want to take one ILB and want it to be Wyden. They tried to sell it as you can be the next Myles Jack and play both sides but he didn’t buy it.

Stupid. Not only is Gregory an awful recruiter, he's a poor evaluator.

Simon is better fit. He's faster, more athletic, has great instincts and well above average in coverage (a must in our defense).

He has more upside than Bieria and can stay on the field in lieu of a 6th DB in dime packages.

That doesn't include his intangibles. Smart kid. Excels in the classroom. Strong value system learned from good parents. Had we pursued him, he likely would have committed early and bolstered recruiting.

True, he's not a thumper but we have enough of those on the roster now. He won't make the highlight hit or plug the middle. He does, however, pursue well; he doesn't miss tackles and would fit well playing alongside Calvert or Hemuli. Simon is not a 95+ ILB, more like a strong 90. I'd rather have him than Wyden.

So on a scale from 1 to Eason how closely related to Simon are you?

I prefer good Power 5 prospects. Fewer Jake Haeners. Less Kyler Manu. More Simons. More Eason.

If Malloe, Huff, Adam, or Jimmy the DB pass on a player, fine. Bob Gregory sucks. Just like our currently rostered QBs.
