Devin Butler CB Prospect
Devin Butler a CB from Gonzaga D.C. will be visiting this weekend. He is a good sized corner listed at 6'1" 180 and his tape below is a bit raw but impressive. So far the rating sites are not high on him, but in addition to Michigan he has offers from ND, PSU, Neb., and a host of lesser BCS schools. It sounds like the coaches want to take a third corner in this class so this kid bears watching.... and a corner with the initials DB is on the right wavelength.
I really like watching his tape but raw is a good word for him. I'm pretty sure Gonzaga is in the same conference as Good Counsel so the talent he goes up against is really really good. I couldn't find any tape but he reminds me of JT Floyd ( but maybe a little better in coverage skills, not sure cause I couldn't find the tape so going of memory). Comparing him to Conley, I like Conley tape a little better but tall corners will be a welcome addition! Still have nightmares of Cissoko being jumped over by Floyd 20 times in 09.

As a Gonzaga Alum, I would love for Devin to be a part of this class
Does Gonzaga play against Good Counsel, DeMatha and the other local heavyweights?

Cissoko had no confidence againat floyd or tate, it showed when he played against floyd in the army aa game and then when he lined up against him vs nd as well.......he was lost in coverage, lost when the ball was in the air and was simply shell shocked in that game...the staff should have pulled him in the 1st qtr and ran out anyone and told them line up and run with them.............
The 2nd half plan helped out a ton that game, having them start 10yds off the ball and drop 2-5yds to give the out pattern but keep their eye on the release and not get burned coming up to hard....they also focused on taking the te out of the game knowing without eliminating the te from the passing game it was over.....ie at least to the wr's there were incompletions.....focusing on the te's and running game helped get nd to some 3rd and longs and a few incompletions to save the game...
Look how Jt Floyd did against floyd this yr from nd, wasn't perfect but he played his leverage well and took the easy quick pass away and made nd look elsewhere..............
