Sounds like Eric Alexander or Adrian Mayes.


Getting two OLB like him and jJ Peterson would be nice

He's probably transfering because Clemson signed the #1 SLB in the country and the number 25 overall prospect. So as good as Jones was last year, there is a good chance that he'll lose his starting spot. Considering how weak we are currently at LB, I'll take Clemson's future 2nd stringer.

Cox wasn't/isn't 6'4" standing on a stump, pard.

Cox might be a few inches taller but he wasn’t the most physical linebacker out there. I think Jones could absolutely take the position vacated by Cox’s departure. They definitely look like comparable players.
Can't say I'm on board on the height question. Looking a little deeper, Jones was a better player. Definitely more physical and not only fits perfectly as the hybrid LB/Safety 6th DB, but fully capable in a straight up 4-3.
Like I said somewhere else...too good to be true for us to bag this dude.
One other thing: I think we will fare better with White, Webb, Sampah, than others around here. A year stronger with a room headed by a full time in the room Coach. I won't be surprised if Clark plays like a different guy, either.

both are OLB who excel in coverage


Correct and 3 or 4" and higher weight, while keeping mobility is better, or do you disagree, assclown

My point is that our safeties are that big.

Their average “per recruit” rank is better than ours. They also don’t have critical holes such as 2 OL and 1 CB in their class. They just take smaller classes than we do.

I agree. I put the LB struggles mostly on Pelini and his poor teaching of his scheme.

I definitely agree it’s way too early to write off Webb, White, and Sampah. They’ve only played one weird season as true freshmen with a god awful defensive coordinator and linebacker coach. Christ Pelini was awful.

A finish of BTJ and Jones and leaving 1 spot open is a home run finish.

What am I missing? What does Cox have to do with us taking grad transfers this year?

Sheesh. What are we waiting for? Leaving Clemson so barring Gumpland it's OU or us as best opportunity for Natty.


OU? I would say that OSU would have a much better chance at a Natty than OU...but, we get your point.

He's listed as 6'3" and 6'4" depending on where you look. Now, I haven't personally measured him...but, have you?

Agreed. Pelini was absolutely terrible. I don’t think that could be overstated enough
