I have a question... Are there other recruits that are jeopardy of not qualifying? Or is it to soon to worry about that as they are still (obviously) in session. Can you tell that I am worrier? ;)

The word on Teh Internets is that MRob will start out at the hybrid safety-linebacker ("spinner") position being vacated by Stevie Brown. I'd personally like to see him at box safety (whatever we're calling that these days), but the coaches know a hell of a lot more than I do.

at least for the short term. We recruited Demar Dorsey to play safety, but he's starting out at corner until he can learn the back end. I know we recruited MRob to play safety, but given the lack of depth at linebacker,* it doesn't seem unreasonable. *Yes, I know safety is probably thinner than linebacker. I'm just throwing it out there.

Am pretty certain he's being slotted for safety **initially.** I too was under the impression that he was coming in and immediately playing spinner...but that's not what they've been saying lately, iirc. Definitely agree that he could eventually play spinner.

It's happened before. It'll happen again. I'm like that. I've also been largely out of the loop recently (stupid law school). If so, I apologize to the MGoGods.

He has met the requirements that were asked of him, but it has to go through admissions again though. I am going to be cautiously optimistic since Adrian Witty met the requirements that were asked of him too, and was not ultimately admitted.

It's great that this thread has 19 replies (now 20) and not a single one of them is responding to the OP's question. I wish I had an account so I could verify.
