I know he hasn't lived up to the hype, but why?

What kind of role will he play in 2012?

Still think his HS film is some of the most impressive I've ever seen for a defensive player.

Injuries.... And rumor has it he hasn't been able to pick up the play book as quick as some guys... I hope he starts this year. Reid and loston is a nasty safety punch

He's a RSJ. Should start this year. Has two years to prove himself. Brandon Taylor was no joke. And with the way Eric Reid has preformed, he was definitely behind some great talent.

He's a beast. He goes for hard hits, not penalty worthy, but he goes to hit and hits hard.

I remember watching the Ole Miss game two seasons ago and he lit up Lionel Breaux. I watched him run the entire length of the field and then he just buried the guy.

It's been on here a million times but why not..... poor Zack Smith. Between that and Brandon LaFell's hit..... that kid is still probably seeing stars.
Watch for #6 coming into the screen right after PP gets the ball.

You didnt know that? He actually gave up football after the Loston hit, if I remember correctly.

Loston may come through....but what transpires in HS, oft times does not "translates" to HS...ask those who recruit John Curtis or Evangel. I think these schools get their athletes to perform at a high level....but many times the kids plateau, in that process...imo

Thankfully for him, he graduated and won't have to play us again.

I remember when Loston hit him, my first thought was "Wasn't that the dude that got lit up by LaFell as well?"

Anyone know how he looked in spring camp? He should be fully developed physically by now. I remember him taking bad angles and if he corrected that, watch out. He might kill someone

Loston has been here 4 years and honestly, the only thing I remember him doing was dropping a pick vs UTjr in '10. He really got his starting position handed to him this yr IMO

I remember his pick 6 against JLee in the spring game one year

He looked like a beast in big cat drills in the beginning of the spring. I expect him and Reid to be the best safety duo on the league.

Les was very high on Craig coming out of the '11 Spring. He was seeing a lot of PT before his injury vs WVU.

He's had a couple of other injuries as well. IF he can stay healthy, he will be great.

I think Loston will be better if he remembers his #1 priority is getting the ball back.

Focus more on turnover generation than laying the big hit.
