You're a prick. No two ways about it. Someone says a good thing about a player and you take all credit away from that player. Stop being such a prick.

Most impressive play I saw the past few years in high school was by Mingo. In the first game against the year against Michael Ford's Leesville squad, Mingo was at safety. He was 5-6 yards deep in the endzone on a first and goal from the 8. Stallworth mishandled the handoff to Ford and the ball was fumbled. WM picked it up and ran it all the way back. Mingo was atleast 20 yards away from the ball when it was finally picked up. He ran past EVERYONE on the field and lead the defender with the ball into the endzone. The kid can fly. He would be ideal in a 3-4 as an OLB. Still, he will be great in pass situations at LSU.

He may end up being a great player but they are gonna run the ball all over this guy. You thought alem was bad at playin the run. We better wait until this kid gains some weight before we throw him in against sec teams. I honestly don't understand why we can't let him play linebacker. I mean wouldn't it be awesone to have a beast like that play backer. And don't tell me he's too big because I seem to remember a player for alabama last year that was a monster. Mingo could have been that.

You think Mingo can gain another 20 pounds and keep this burst?

He's never been in a weight program full time because he ran track and played basketball at WM. Yes I think he can keep his burst because he's so tall. I really am grateful he committed to LSU since I'm an LSU fan. I think he fits better in a 3-4 scheme though.

I wouldnt worry too much about his weight right now. He played underweight in HS and still dominated. He probably can play proportionally underweight in college and do about the same. He IS very fast, believe he was on the WM track team as a sprinter. Saw he chase down OPHS's fastest kid with a 10 yard deficit to make up.

I say we bench his arse. Who gives a crap how badly he beats the O Lineman that is ATTEMPTING to block him. As long as he doesn't look the part frick him. Football is all about an atheletes measurables... not about performance and getting the job done.
