According to Buffzone, his commit will not be honored since we are overloaded at safety.

Very surprising-- but I agree, we sure as hell need more help at CB. Hope JE & Co have a line on a few.
yes. not sure it mattered in the end. JE has final decision on offers now, and it looks like he is gonna be picky.

Embree seems to be taking more of an NFL type approach to his recruiting and only going after guys that can fill positions that we need right now. Hawk seemed less concerned with this and was more about getting bodies and trying to fit them in some place. Best of luck to you Vlad and in the long run it will probably be better for your football career by going to another school where there is a greater need at the safety position.
Heard this guy was a hitter, why not put about 15 or 20 pounds on him and make him an OLB?
I thought they were both slated to be LBers?

He said they would be LB's or S, wasint sure yet. Even if they are LB's, if we can sign 5 LB's (when it was not a huge need), I dont see why we couldnt have added one S.

My thoughts exactly
I have no problems with the staff not taking Emilien or any other kid. They have to decide who is going to fit into their program and can make the maximum contribution. Emilien was highly recruited out of HS and by all indications is a pretty decent prospect. I also haven't seen anything to indicate that he has an attitude problem or academic issues.
That all said CU wasn't the only school to pass on him. I would be very surprised if Toledo was his dream destination to play college football. He has been out there long enough that plenty of other schools have had time to investigate and offer if they felt he was going to be that level of player.
Bottom line is that Embree is the one who has to decide who gets the limited number of schollies we have available. If in conjunction with his position coaches he doesn't think a guy is the right fit that has the be his decision. Doesn't mean the kid can't be an excellent player for somebody else, it just means that he isn't the right fit here and now in the judgement of the guy who gets paid to make that decision.
I hope that Vlad goes on to an excellent career at Toledo. If Embree didn't want him here badly enough to schollie him he is better off someplace where he is wanted.
