Seems to be a trend lately unfortunately

Woods being so big was never a great fit for our system, but I think he was probably overrated all along. He was a huge strong kid playing in a small classification that probably made him look better than he really was.

Alexander just had so many injuries.

ETA: And I agree with DBG below, not all great prospects work out, it happens at every school.

the injuries just their toll on alexander.

as for woods....some guys just don't get it.

Woods' performance the week of practice at the Army All-American Game and in the game itself was less than stellar, especially compared to Gerald McCoy's performance. I remember the biggest knock on Woods from the practice evaluations being that he was extremely slow and less than dominating. These evaluations caused quite a stir on this site and his performance that week seems to have been a sign of his performance the last four years. Which IMO indicates that the recruiting sites were off base in the rankings of Al Woods. While Stars are pretty, they are no indication of actual performance.

Al Woods should have been moved to the OL.

Are the coaches misjudging talent, or are these guys not being coached up?

I like how you present 2 alternatives both of which would be miles' fault.
