Herman Lathers

[VolfanMike]

Anybody know anything about this guy, he said he has out front. Will we land him, I HOPE!

 

[KCVolLaw]

we are his leader. He says he most likely won't make a decision until his season is over. He wants to check out the academic side of UT...blah blah blah. We are winning out over some stiff competition such as Tulane, Stanford, Baylor, and Ole Miss. Sigh. The kid actually doesn't look that bad IMO. We're just stacked al LB don't understand why we'd take him.

 

[JacksonVol2]

any stats on him?

He committed to us...why is no one talking about it?

 

[govols182]

Great, another undersized LB...really undersized...hopefully he can add some muscle weight and produce

 

[Volsguy12]

maybe move him to safety

 

[smokeyman15]

Not with a 4.5 40 time...you guys thought Antwan Stewart was slow...:bad:

 

[smokeyman15]

Not real sure why we offered him, unless they know something I dont...

200-205 really isnt that undersized for an OLB for us. Rico and Karl are only 215-218. After a redshirt year he would be at that weight.

maybe move him to safety

No.

Not with a 4.5 40 time...you guys thought Antwan Stewart was slow...:bad:

Since when is 4.5 slow for an LB. Thats pretty dang good. 4.5 isnt even that slow for a big safety.

Go watch his video highlights on rivals. Hes got great speed and quickness at the LB spot.

 

[KCVolLaw]

He hasn't committed to anyone unless there is something I'm missing

 

[vols kick balls]

scout lists him as a soft verbal

Nah for a LB, thats moving but for a safety, thats not really that fast...Percy Harvin would be running circles around him if he was at safety

 

[KCVolLaw]

ah gotcha...nothing about this on rivals

 

[hvwarrior58]

Hubbs is trying to get confirmation. Lathers is a motor guy. Here's the funny thing. Everyone is talking about him being too small to play LB. Alot of people think we are going to bulk him up and move him to DE.

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Soft commit. Welcome to the team Herm, for now anyways. :hi:

 

[KCVolLaw]

see him now...not sure the point of committing now when he still plans to take all his visits but ok

 

[k-sny-vol]

I say he gains about 20 pounds and stays at LB!
he will be an athletic LB with about the size of a RICO MCCoy type
approximately 6-1 215-220

If there is one thing you can be sure of, it is that they know a lot that you dont about all these recruits. I hate to break that to you.

 

[kkep48]

At 6"0' 192, could we not get him to lose a few lbs, bulk him up muscle-wise and play safety?

 

[JZVOL]

That name makes him sound like he should of played back in the 40 or 50's.

 

[smokeyman15]

:lolabove: its does
