Like most of you I enjoy seeing the staff go after these kids. However, in my opinion I think this kid is at the bottom of the back up plans.

Yeah, I'd want Juwaan Williams over him I think.

On second thought I don't know ... Williams is bigger and more physical but not as fast ... might depend on who else we get to close out. If we don't get Folston then we may need Lauderdale more than Williams.

Either way we are talking about the 5th of four remaining spots, probably.

I would rather have Devon Allen than either. But this Devin is pretty sweet too.

I'd love to have him but there are bigger needs in this class (Secondary, elite pass rush) that we need to adress. I would pass on him but that is why Im just a guy on a computer...

i want the speed as well...if we get lauderdale i'm assuming we missed on one of max or folston...this is assuming that aqm is a done deal. i don't see us taking devin if we get all 3....just my opinion.

I too, would rather have Lauderdale. When Rocket got to a certain point you knew nobody was going to catch him. GAIII plays that role for us now...Lauderdale looks "quicker" though top-end speed is probably a wash.

yes please...if we have room on the final weekend.

It's like when you go to the deli counter at the grocery store and take a number. Kelly and staff are behind the counter in white aprons and these recruits are all waiting to hear their number called.

IMO Lauderdale > Williams but Larue is better than both. If Larue didn't have academic issues I think he would be Irish right now.

GAIII has the speed, but he hasn't come near playing the role Rocket did yet. Not being critical, but go back and watch Rocket and Tim Brown. Both of those guys knew how to use their speed. GAIII is still learning that part.

Oh definitely. Love LaRue

And I can't really disagree with the Lauderdale > Williams part either. To me it kind of depends on who else we finish with but no matter how you look at it Lauderdale's speed kills.

Totally agree. GAIII has a ways to go. Based on the tape on Lauderdale it looks like it is a little more natural for him to use his speed...maybe because he's a bit smaller than GAIII. This may also be a discussion on quickness.

they're scrounging around trying to find another WR. shelton gibson committing to WVU really threw them off coupled with quick going to louisville.
