Re: Is he too small to play DE in our 3-4 Defense?

I believe Adrian was playing a lot of SAM at the end of spring and Dickson was at Jack but that may have been situational and not what happens on Satudays' in the fall.

Adrian Hubbard logged time at both spots last season. Coach Thompson has stated that the skill set that Dickson and Hubbard bring to the table will allow the positions to be mirror images of one another this coming season.

Re: Is he too small to play DE in our 3-4 Defense?

I had another thread about this guy yesterday possibly committing but I'll repeat what I said about him in that. I think he's comparable to Nkemdiche in ability and the reason he's not rated above RN is size with JA being 225 and RN now at 270-280. He's a very special player and thrilled that he's committed to UA. Hope this opens the pipelines in VA for next year also.

As I stated earlier in this thread, Coach Saban's ground work in the D.C./Baltimore/Northern Virginia area is really starting to pay off. The state of Virginia is loaded for the 2014 cycle. They have three national top ten prospects alone.

This kid reminds me of Jevon Kearse the way he comes off the line like a rocket, plus the jerseys. This is a huge get, with 20-30 pounds on him, we are looking at a 9-12 sack time player for us.

And Keenan Allen would never go to Cal of all places, and TJ Yeldon was the next Bo Jackson down on the plains, and Noel Devine was going to lead FSU back to prominence, and there's no way Lache Seastrunk would end up anywhere other than USC or LSU, right? It was only a little over a year ago with Cyrus Kouandjio chose Auburn on national TV and shocked everyone. Luckily he changed his mind.

All I'm saying is, never say never. You know as well as I do that there are no "sure things" in recruiting. It's only May of 2012, it's a long time until Feb 2013, and we've already got 2 of the top 7 defenders in the country on board, and we lead for a 3rd.

I dont think he meant it like you took it. The reality is that Hargreaves is a lean for florida...no sure thing, but probability is that he will stay local. and he's spot on that Adams prefers a 4-3 defensive set.

Just reality. Our class is goign to be super, just not a list of the top ten natonally.

I know that 3-4 is our base D set, but don`t we bounce to a 4-3 as well depending on situations?
