This guy is really really solid, I’m afraid we are losing LA guys.. I mean rummel playmakers play nice ball in college.
Pooka Williams is in Kansas!! Kyle Edwards is going to bama and we are waiting from a a kid that is known for have issue problemas (evans).
My point is that we are sleeping on some great Louisiana kids that would play with their heart in LSU every year instead of 5 stars that maybe are with us because we are hot right now (there are some exceptions like Ricks)

It gets said every year and every year I repeat the same thing.

There will never be another Honey Badger.

Maybe you’ve missed Amik Robertson’s college career

Great career, different stage. Lot easier to be great playing 8-9 games a year against low majors. Mathieu did it on the biggest stage, in the biggest games. There will never be another Honey Badger. He shouldve won the Heisman.

Some mock Drafts have Amik going late first round. Definitely a big miss for LSU and it was said at that time, by many on this board, that Amik should have been a take.

Does that mean North Dakota kids play harder for the Bison?

And guys from low majors kill it the NFL every year. Is he the next Tyrann no, but you can get he would made a big difference for our secondary as a nickel back.

Amik was no where near the player Tyrann was. You should feel bad for making that comparison.

This team could have been special with him. I bet we probably would not have lost a game this season and maybe even won the conference.

I seem to remember he was a grade risk? I could be remembering someone else

Pooka was the grade risk, Amik was a board favorite and has balled at Tech

This board seems somewhat split on Kaufman.

My question is: Is that because of his measurables, specifically height?

I know the recruiting services put a little too much weight (pun not intended) on that, which translates to places such as here.

There will never be another Tyrann. But don't downplay Amik. It was a miss by the staff. Fact.

That’s just a pipe dream... like saying an LSU player would ever win the Heisman again.

Amik and Tyrann were asked to do completely different things as a player. No use in comparing them.

Tyrann has 5x more forced fumbles. Amik playing corner has 2x more passes defended and 3.5x more INTs.
