I was more referring to Chavis and his LB/DB hybrid scheme.
What about it specifically? I'm seeing Chavis take player from one position like SS or FS and moving them to LB. Seems logical to me?

Putting more speed on the field? No problem.
Its like many taking a TE and moving them to OL. Or in the Barksdale and Stewart moves, DT to OT.
Remember both Josh Reed and Eric Martin played RB before the move to WR. This year we have a QB moving to TE.....

#2 by June 2008.........People who say stars are not important because we have had one 2 star go pro in the last 30 years are retarded......Stars matter....Just look at the top 5 programs in the nation and that proves it. Chemistry is important too of course and being the right fit for the team but if you take a team of 2-3 stars and a team of 4-5 stars.....80-90% of the time the team with the most stars is going to kick some arse.......not 100% but 80-90%. I would much rather be on the 80-90% group. Otherwise you will be classified as a Utah or Air Force team.

star players are very important. they make big plays in big games.

this makes those stars into champions...
USCw always gets the big names and they have one MNC to show. one that they won on pure talent.
it is unrealistic to think that any team can do this year in and year out. case in point, USCw. all that talent but cant beat stanford.
in every class you need program builders. guys that lead by example. they dont have the talent but have the work ethic that rubs off on the super stars and makes them great.
these are the guys that keep the team together in tough times. these guys are often more important than the big names.

Utah you have a lot to learn if all you base your want of a player is on star rating.
That is just part of what you look at in the evaluation of a player.
There are some 5 stars that i wouldnt have on my team.
Charachter
Academics
Heart
talent
attitude
and about 50 more.
Did you see Texas is backing off of Lache Seastrunk because of the way he is handling his recruitment. They can win without him just like LSU can if his head gets too big.

This coming years first round pick was a three star (Ciron Black) out of high school.
as was the other 1st round pick, Lafell.

Or you could just do what most top teams(including LSU) do and get a bunch of 4 stars, a couple 5 stars and some gritty 3 stars with good potential.
I can guarantee a team like that will kick some arse 80-90% of the time as well.

Football scouting is very inexact, especially when it comes to CBs and OL. The scouts just aren't that great, because its not as professionally driven as baseball or basketball.
Baseball has its pro scouts which blow away these recruiting football networks in both vigor and knowledge. And in basketball you have the AAU circuit for exposure as well as professional scouts that keep track of players that they may draft in a year as well as European scouts. Unless pro football ever gets involved in the process this won't change

The one aspect that many are over looking is coaching...Is the kid "coachable", is he willing to put the time and effort to become better...Will the kid improve or has he reached his potential in high school...It seems we are getting good kids with heart and talent...Remember, they are only in high school...Coaching and coachability is the key...Remember the Malleveto project...Coaching sucked and the team suffered...We will be fine...Les can not be a bad recruiter this year...Do not panic, it is early...Geaux Tigers

DT - Your only possible beef. We are a little thin at DT. However, we took downs and Davenport in last years class, and I feel relatively comfortable in those two players. I think we need to sign at least one solid DT in this class and we will be okay.
We also have Hicks, Corley, Hagans and Edwards in the mix at DT. All of these guys have 2-4 years left to play.

I also get the feeling Hicks will be a DT. Kinda has that John Henderson mold

I could deal with that. I wonder if Chavis sees the same thing?

I think so...
DT: Alexander SR
Woods SR
Nevis JR
Hicks JR
Corley SO
Edwards RSFr
Hagans RSFr
Davenport FR
Downs FR
DE: Alem SR
Levingston JR
Aghayere RSFr
Clement RSFr
Brockers FR
Montgomery FR
Logan FR
thats a ton of talent that gives the coaches the flexibility to use a lot of different packages with different looks. I think some on here don't realize how deep we are on the DL, hence the reason I posted the players and year

I do, Brick looks to be doing well with the DL. They looked good in the Spring Game w/o the blitz or stunts.

It's more like because they don't like kids who won't commit on the spot.
