I consider it pure joy if I just got lambasted by the great Leonard Little. Second best moment to John Ward looking at me on his way out of the press box. I'll never forget. With a slight nod, he said:

"Men"

I heard John Ward in real life. And now I've been word-tackled by No. 1.

People can scold me all they want. I honestly feel like there are two better "LB's" In the state than Bituli. We have one in Hart.

Bituli projects as WDE or edge player (LEO, JACK, etc..) imo.
His wrestling experience should help with being physical. It shows on his film as well.

From what I can see his lateral quickness is very average. He does not play with good pad-level.
If you look at his highlight tape, one thing that stands out is he's almost never blocked. I mean his competition is awful- not his fault tho.

It takes him to long to get his momentum going.

He's a little stiff. Doesn't have good bend.
One thing I DO like is he hustles. He has a pretty good motor and seems to enjoy the game of football

He is another Chris Donald, except less athletic...

He's a big kid who can move pretty well for his size, but if he has to change directions -which happens a lot in football- then he will have trouble recovering.

To summarize
- needs to play lower
- needs to work on his feet.
- improve flexibility.

And D1 you make a good point. Camps help kids better through competition. Why not go? Whether it's your camp or someone else's. And you don't have to go all summer or spring, but go to a few to get better..

Great assessment LL and I really think that's the man flaw, lack of athleticism. He is a lesser of the 3 between himself Daniel Brooks, and Donald. Very stiff and slow. It amazes me that ppl want to argue about nothing but they win, lolllll

Bituli has the ability & athleticism to become an All-SEC LB at UT. The way he reads & reacts at LB is a beautiful thing. He has great closing speed & does a great job getting downhill to the ball-carrier.

He does play small division HS football, but with his size & speed he can be coached into a complete LB. I think sometimes people can get their feelings hurt by a HS kid if he doesn't compete in their camp, but that doesn't make him any less of a player. No need to speculate on why a player chooses to camp or not camp. Like others have said, there is a reason Bituli is ranked so highly & has offers from some of the brightest defensive minds in football (Muschamp, Chavis, etc.) Great addition to UT's class.

My friend let me explain something to you. We didn't need Bituli at our camp. We get film from kids and coaches from all over the country. No kid can hurt my feelings period. We've had camp in every region of Tn. Guys hv gone out of their way to get there. We at NPA are the best at what we do in this state which is why we continue to produce the #1 player in the state dating back to Eric Gordon and this year with Joejuan Williams. Hart camped with us, Chase Hayden camped with us Tee Higgins Nigel Warrior etc so no kid can make or break us or hurt our feelings.

LL, Please don't use the acronym LV... It might summon him. I was certain LWSVol and *Kristy made his head explode over the back counting but you never know... He may find his way back.

LV is Lord Vader. A lot of people weren't here then though

No need to apologize this is what I do man. I'm actually sorry so many people here are hurt by myself and LL assessment. Like I have said I hope he pans out as I do all Volunteer recruits but as of right now I just don't see it

No he didn't but I personally have watched hi as I have family on his team. Also had some of his team mates attend the camp. He is at my family members house quite frequently. No ill feelings towards the kid at all.

VN, I can't continue to live my life of lies. I've hidden behind a screen-name for too long. The truth must come out. I am Al Wilson!

Will you have a chance to look at Bituli's senior film before he enrolls? I'd love to see if he has improved his game in your eyes.TIA.
