Here are his highlights (I had to dig for these):

Looks like either an OLB or a DE in the Hartigan/Beatty mold.

"I like Arizona's school as a whole. They offer some of the best academics in the nation and I like [head] coach [Mike] Stoops. He's a great coach and a great person.

Uh what?

Says he wants to take OVs to UW, Zona, and CU.

Uh, if you believe that, kid, I've got some ocean-front property for sale right outside of Tucson.

Looks like he is already a lammie to me....

 

[Buffnik]

He's picked up several BCS offers (UA, ASU, UCLA) but still isn't rated by any of the services.

We're in his top 4 and it looks like he is set on visiting us

Finally rated on Rivals and Scout (3*/3*). We're in his Top 3 with Arizona and Washington. Looks like we'll get his first visit some time in January.

Doesn't look 235 in that picture. Is it old?

Don't we have enough DE's for this class-unless he or someone else moves to LB?

Sweet! Been hearing whispers that he's one of the fastest risers in the west on recruiting boards.

Old photo. I had to dig and then crop that damn thing. We need a better one.

We may take 2 more DLs in this class.

Also says we are recruiting him as an OLB. the 3-4 is NOT dead.

For sure. Just isn't our base defense in 2012. We'll play some 3-4 and some 3-3-5. Brown likes to be multiple. I think 2013 is when we really see what our coaches want to do, though. By then we should be able to dictate on both sides of the ball. Right now, we're young and we're reacting to the other team instead of opposing our will.

I think you meant "imposing". Why would we oppose our own will?

haha

 

[DBT]

Because we are bi-polar schytzophrenic?

 

[Duff Man]

I doubt we ever see a true 3-4. My guess is the coaches play the 4-3 similar to the Broncos with an OLB being a pass rusher first and foremost.

Self-defeating, IMO.

Buffscoop claiming we are his #1 choice at the moment. This class is stacked at DL including DE!
