1st post here on allbuffs, but I've been around the block for many, many years, just quit AZ's site and need a new place to go for Buff news. No way in hell I can do netbuffs. So you're stuck with me. And F*CK OFF with any talk that I'm a sunshine pumper or a doom and gloom guy - I've been a CU fan through thick and thin over the past 40 years, but I call it like I see it.
Is it time to declare Major a big disappointment? I know he's behind Mohler and Smart, but I would've guessed 2 years ago that he would be running way ahead of both guys. Smart and Mohler are both good LBs and better people, but the #1 recruit in Colorado last year should be ahead of both of them if he was living up to his ranking. Period.

:wow::wow::wow:
The idea that Major at this point is a disappointment is laughable. He was just getting back into the swing of things during Spring ball. Also, Mohler was no chump coming out of the JUCO ranks.
We need to remember that most teams are not playing the amount of true and redshirt freshmen we have over the last few years. Expecting every high-profile recruit to be a star right away is unrealistic.

I 'm probably being a little hard on Major. It's just that he reminds me of one of the Jonas brothers.
Mohler and Smart are good players. They are not great players. For our defense to be successful this year, we'll need our LB crew to play very, very well. I would have hoped that Major would be turning heads and cracking the 2-deep, because he's allegedly got MAJOR talent (zing!) It's just not happening.
By the way, what is with everyone's obsession with eating sh*t sandiwches?

Nahh, more like the SH*T sandwiches people eat when they make statements like Jeff Smart is a 2nd team All-Big 12 LB. If you think he's one of the top 15 LBs in the Big 12, I've got some swampland to sell you in Vail. At the Texas game last year, I remember seeing Sergio Kindle standing next to Jeff Smart in pre-game warm-ups and thinking --- that's why we're in the bottom half of the B12 these days. By the way, Smart wasn't even honorable mention All Big 12 last year.
Look, I like Smart. He plays hard, he hustles, and seems like a good kid. But he's limited physically, largely because he just isn't big enough to play inside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. He's a serviceable player and a good guy, but if we want to complete for B12 championships, he shouldn't be starting for us.
Joe Kane and Steve Lattimer would beg to differ with you...Last I checked, Jeff Smart had not had mulitiple DUIs and a nasty game of chicken with the side of an apartment building at 2am...I'm not sure I want that guy. We can find great players who are great people as well (see Ryan Miller).

I remember that as well. Will be interesting to see if they consider that option.I remember there was talk when he was recruited that Major might make a good DE - any chance that is still a possibility particularly with Kasa going down?
Personally I want him to stay at LB, but this staff has a history with these kinds of moves.
