I love this kid's speed...

Should fit in very well in Monte's system.

From Scout (free article) via the Recruit Tracker.

It’s only from this prism that Robert Nelson’s pre-visit pledge to Volunteer can be fully appreciated as the 6-0, 209-pound, defender is an example of perfect fit. An undersized linebacker, he compensates with an explosive first step, a high RPM engine, keen instincts and arresting quickness. Put it all together and you get a coiled striker and tackling machine who is custom made for a heavy pressure system like employed by Monte Kiffin.

Yes, but i would at least like to have seen him take an angle and dropping into the zone.

What kills me is, we watch Rivals videos whereas the coaches watch videos of these kids we never get to see from what I know about the whole recruiting process. The coaches see more that's for sure.

Do you think they have other people in mind?

I am completely baffled by our coaches and their recruiting at this point.

Nelson's third on the list behind King and Patrick, apparently. If those guys go elsewhere, Nelson comes here.

I think Greg King has already committed to the coaches.

Committing and signing and LOI are two different things. I hope that Lane is prepared to deal with such situations since this isn't the PAC 10 and we aren't USCw. I don't doubt the effort or knowledge of our staff, I just don't want Lane to think that just because a recruit says yes doesn't mean that's in stone. I'm not complaining, it's just a thought and a concern.

I'm pretty sure Lane has witnessed first-hand how quickly a recruit can change his mind. He knows what he is doing. He has a plan.

He also coached at a school at it's peak during it's title runs. He's coming after a 5-7 season and the SEC where nothing is certain day to day. Like I said, I'm not complaining and I have faith, I'm just concerned. More concerned with this class really, next year I have no worries.

I think the thing is King likely won't get in. I think we would offer him.

I agree with you for the most part.

On the other hand Kiffin came into USCw when they weren't at the top of the game and he saw what it takes to build a program. Also, our recruiting coordinator made Ole Miss competative in the recruiting world (which was not an easy task).

I just have a hard time believing that they would be so naive.

Kiffin also came to USC when the Pac 10 when everyone in the Pac 10 was down and no school out there had established themselves as the king of that conference in years.

I honestly don't get what you're saying if this is in regards to not offering Lacy. The only SEC school that's actively recruiting him is South Carolina. It's not like we are missing the boat on this guy. If we have room for him, we will take him. If we have better prospects committed and don't have room, then I'm sorry, that's just the way it is.
