football

Does anyone have any input on Kelvin Grady as a defensive player in high school?  I can't find any football recruiting info so perhaps someone might remember seeing him play DB  in Grand Rapids.  Grasping at straws?   Why not?

GO BLUE!  Keep the faith!

So, we all know how awesome Butch Davis was at Miami, pumping out 1st rounder after 1st rounder.

Well, he's doing it again at UNC.

Based on ESPN, here are some draft projections:

TOP-150
Robert Quinn - 4stars (5.8)
Deunta Williams - 4stars (5.8)
Bruce Carter - 3 stars (5.6)
Marvin Austin - 5stars (6.1)
Greg Little - 4stars (5.9)
Quan Sturdivant - 3stars (5.5)
Kenric Burney - 3stars (5.3)

3RD DAY OF DRAFT
Charles Brown - 2stars (5.4)
Ryan Houston - 3 stars (5.7)
Zach Pianalto - 3stars (5.6)

ALREADY DRAFTED
Brandon Tate - 2stars (5.3) - drafted 3rd round
Hakeem Nicks - 4stars (5.8) - drafted 1st round

The remarkable thing is that he's done it for the most part with lightly regarded HS prospects.  If I remember correctly, it was a similar situation at Miami.  Is there any other coach that seems to spot and develop talent better than Butch Davis?

Never have I loved hearing bland, general coachspeak more than this year.
