if this kid is still only 16 as of today and hes 6-2, 200lb, then he still has a chance for a perfect size lb, 2 yrs from now, he, will be going into his 2nd yr at NU, by then he'll be at least 225+ and his height will enable him to carry 235 easily. with his speed, he has all the tools to be a beast for us, welcome, mr jones

Never under-estimate the kid who is selective with who he gets film to. Doesn't just send film to recruiting services, but to places where he feels he would be a good fit, or is extremely interested in. LSU saw film on him and probably doesn't have room or probably have a few guys that they think are "better", but they aren't going to go out and tell people about him.
I have heard nothing about this kid except for what i've seen on this board, the speed or size thing doesn't matter to me. Honestly, in the NFL you need both, so it is possible to have both. Dobson can make the adjustments if he needs to bulk up or get faster.
As RR said, Bo knows LB's.....

I like LB's with speed. We had the big linebackers in the 80's and Miami showed us speed is more important. Speed disrupts an offense. As long as they are good tacklers like Lavonte David we are in GOOD shape. I also like the fact he is a very young pup with room to grow. Good luck to our new recruit.
good info here everyone, thanks for the links and quotes. Should be a solid player.
Sounds like a great "under the radar" kid, Which Bo and staff is great at finding.

Born to Be Red is the one who said he could slide to safety. Going off of what he said.

After watching Rich Glover play nose tackle at 230-235lbs in the early seventies, I gave up trying to pigeon-hole football players based on size. And we have seen guys like Demorrio Williams (215), Farley (205) and David (205 last year) excel at linebacker even though they were undersized. The common denominator for all these guys is exceptional football SPEED. I have an idea that Deion has the potential to be a really nice fit here at NU based on that characteristic.
Welcome to the fold, Deion!! GBR

This is not a diamond in the rough case...this kid is not some hidden gem that all of a sudden just popped up....LSU already knows/knew about him and chose to pass based on some things that happened after the promise of a scholarship...the articles posted point that out....and they (LSU) have filled their needs....so LSU is already awake and aware....and has moved on....
Like we stated throughout this thread this is a case of no film being available to evaluate by the services....
