Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar and fat. - Alex Levine
Turned in a good performance at the Stanford Nike Combine. Here's what 247Sports had to say:
-Safety Dominique Love (La Jolla, Calif./The Bishop’s School) has good size and was very active during the event. He looked fluid during position work and made some plays in coverage during one-on-ones. He’s a sleeper to keep an eye on moving forward in this recruiting cycle.
We'll be getting his first official visit. Brother, dad and cousins are all basketball players and he was too until deciding to start focusing on football. Major sleeper with the athleticism to be great. If you can play basketball as a guard, you can play defensive back.

Are we definitely recruiting him as a safety?Originally Posted by Buffnik
Nope. Kind of like Jimmy Smith or Jalil Brown were not being looked at as corners by the services coming out of high school. We'll know more around his OV date, but I'm expecting to move him to corner in our database.
According to Rivals, Love is being recruited at cornerback (we'd had him at safety before) and will be making his Official Visit either this weekend during his HS bye week or after the season.
He had a touchdown and an interception in his season opener. Definitely a guy who fits the description of a late bloomer. Not only was he a basketball player, but he's only 16 years old as a senior this year.

There any tape on him on the premium sites?
He has the look of a Greg Brown corner and it sounds like he has vast untapped potential. I'm just so enamored with Will Jackson and I can't see us taking more than 1 or mayyyyybe 2 more corners this cycle that I kind of rather we wait for him. Then again his grades apparently suck.
Right now this team needs talent. I don't care if the balance gets off a little bit if we can get a kid who has the kind of speed we are missing who can play I think we take him and worry about balancing positions and classes later.
easier transition from corner to safety than the other way around.
We should have listened to Colorado fans.
Greg Brown DB recruiting FTW!

i can never tell if your being sarcastic anymore...
Sacky's reaction to a text alerting him to Embree's dismissal.
That was sarcasm.
I think that CB is the hardest position to scout and that the ratings from the premium services are pretty unreliable for this position. Give me a guy with the right measurables and attitude, show me that he can play basketball, and I trust our coaches to develop him into a very good college CB.
The only other position I feel that way about is OL, fwiw.
I'm not even sure that BB disagrees with me all that much. It's more a matter of the cupboard being so bare from the lack of recruiting success Brown had the last 2 years under Hawkins (2* Deji may have been his most heralded recruit) and the fact that so much of the current depth chart either can't play or was recruited to the offensive side of the ball (Polk and Moten). It seems that he brought in a damn good 2011 class, though. Henderson, Harlos, Washington and Harrington all look like they can play (haven't heard much on Clark, but that may not mean anything yet).
Can't say I was blown away by his highlights. Looks like a decent athlete and has good size, but I thought he looked to have safety quickness. Didn't look overly physical either, so not sure he'd make a great safety.
