Quote:Pretty good...in fact you could argue he is the best Miami has produced at the position.

 

But it seems kinda odd to me that a school that can attract and produce the kind of football players it has over the years hasn't produced a true shut down CB.

 

it hasn't produced the dominant 3-4 OLB blitzing LB because until just recently they hadn't run much 3-4.  That I get.

 

But CB?

 

I don't get it.

 

 

The concept of scouting a player by school is so absurd its amazing how many people still subscribe to it. Perhaps at one time, it applied when you have guys like Bowden and Paterno who was at the same university for decades on. Ok, in that case, I get it. That may happen again with Saban in Bama, fine.

 

But what's the point of labeling someone a "Miami CB" when that team has had so many different coaches, and thus differing schemes? Penn St was "Linebacker U". If there's a good LB from Penn St this draft, do you still consider him a "LB U" despite the university moving on from Paterno to O'Brien to Franklin?

 

"Florida Wide Receiver" was a thing back in the Spurrier days. But tell me, what does a wide receiver who played for Spurrier's Fun N Gun have anything in common with Meyer's spread offense? And Muschamps?

 

Absolutely nothing.

 

Scout the player, not the school. Just do your due diligence.
