I've heard they think he's more fit for offense than defense but I don't know. Seems versatile enough, along with White, to play on offense or defense.

They say he needs to be coached up at the cb position. they say he's struggled but the potential is there. he seems more comfortable with the ball in his hands from what ive read. 5-9 180 and has thrown the shotput deal the farthest so far so he has some good strength also. with as good as white is at cb, and robinson also. could he end up on offense? especially if we get robinson and priest and jefferson?

I'd personally have him at WR.


As far as KR, I hope then moving the ball up doesn't effect it TOO much.

What's more impressive about Brazil's time is that he ran it on a slow surface.

Lots of able bodies @WR already.
And many want to see Diarse, Jennings and Tre'D White there, too.
Some guys with great straight line speed have trouble with lateral moves. That's a problem at CB...
What's the story on JB's hips?

I see him as more of a tailback/flanker who can be really effective on screens, sweeps and reverses. This would also give the coaches more latitude to pass on a rb in this class in favor of positions of greater need. The staff has been saying that they want a change of pace/speed guy at rb this year. Well, who's better than Brazil? Maybe Ryan Green and Taquan Mizzell, but not many others and none are faster.

We already have so many WRs. I'm in the minority on this, I guess, but at this point I'd prefer to see Brazil stay at CB. With some KR and PR duties, of course.

Then again, I don't really care. As long as he's on the field in P&G, he'll do well on either side of the ball.

My guess is the staff sees Brazil as Ron Brooks 2.0. Nickelback, gunner, KR.

My cable guide is showing "The Opening" from 7;00-8:30 p.m. Central tonight.

They should show highlights of today's events. So far Brazil's time is still tops.

For the guys that work late, ESPNU is replaying Day1 highlights at 11:00 p.m. & 4:00 a.m. .

ETA:

My cable guide shows Saturday they are showing a one hour show at 6;00 and another one at 7:00 p.m. Central.
Seems like last year they replayed the day before and then showed that day's highlights afterwards so they may be doing that again.

ESPN"s schedule doesn't show anything from it tonight

I think his main responsibility at LSU will be as a return man.

Caught him on the radio earlier in the wk in answer to the host's questions, said he is actively recruiting for LSU whenever he runs into recruits from across the country. Wants to be a leader in his freshman class & his role model is P.Peterson...if that is any clue as to where he wants to play
