Larvez Mars - why not take a chance on him?
I know his size isn't ideal but most recruiting guru's seem to be high on his instincts and he's supposedly a tackling machine. We look to be out on the LB's left on the board such as Patrick and Mingo so why not take a chance on this kid? I'm sure Gallon being his teammate doesn't hurt anything either.
On a separate note does anyone think there will be any good surprises on signing day for us? I am hoping for at least one.

Pretty sure Mars has grade issues.
And he didn't have any interest in Michigan.

Scout is way low, 76th WLB. With the offers Scout is listing, I'm thinking they are closer to the general opinion than Rivals.

it's likely grades related. There are really top recruits (Tyrik Rollison comes to mind) who have the skill to play almost anywhere but due to poor grades they aren't given many scholarship offers because it's basically a lost cause.

We should only take a chance on him if he agrees to sing us that one ABBA tune.

A colossal name - though it sounds like that of a villain from Dr. Who.....

His nickname is Poo Bear.

we need to do whatever it takes to get this guy.

I don't know Promote RichRod. Poo Bear sounds like he is into his picnic baskets. In the neighborhood where I grew up if your name was pooh bear it was either because you were an overweight girl with an infatuation for peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches or a dude that was soft as peanutbutter. *shrugs* may I suggest we ask the football oracle for guidance on this Poo Bear.

are a position of need right now. We lost Shavodrick Beaver.

yoggie bear was the dude stealing picnic baskets and pooh bear was the bear who chilled with his creepy friend christopher robin all day.

Lots of nicknames are opposite of the true nature of the person. My guess is this kid is no sweetheart. This is convenient because if I'm right, all is well, and if I'm wrong he'll forgive me.
January 31st, 2009 at 12:29 PM ^
I'll forgive you, too.
But my Tommy gun won't.

BADA BING!
