re: Mark Laird Stat I Stumbled Upon (Prolly Been Posted)

I still believe he would be an asset in the defensive backfield in football. I saw him play and dominate magnum in football and even the maghum jerks gave him a round of applause at games end.

Except that 4.45 he ran at Bama camp would get many an offer when coupled with his stats. Kid was legit as legit gets. He's the biggest "Don't go to a small private school if you want to get an athletic scholarship" case I've seen. No one can touch his stats in baseball/football and he had to walk on at LSU. Sad

There have been plenty of skill guys from the small school classes get signed. Heck our biggest basketball recruit was class B. Laird was skinny and missed some of the camp circuit with an injury. The camp deal was big for sec offers. Stevan Ridley was our starting rb and was mpsa. Ulm and tech missed on Laird big time.
