ShugMan55 0 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 A smart player who can read and react is faster than any athlete... always two steps ahead even if he runs a 4.9...polomalu only runs a 4.8..but hes such a smart player it makes up for it I remember someone saying Dick Butkus took ten minutes to run a 40 but when the ball was snapped no one in football was quicker moving laterally from hash-mark to hash-mark.

tigerrules 517 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 He has phenomenal vision. He always has his eyes on the QB or ball carrier. Once he makes a move, he beats everyone else to the ball almost every time. Great angles. Great tackling. He is obviously a student of the game. Whether his talent will get him to the next level in the SEC I don't know, but I would take a chance. Offer him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerfinz 1,362 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Looks like Bobby Boucher out there hitting people!!! Must have some high quality H2O!!! That boy can play the foosball!! Probably a back up, back up plan. However, kid hits like a truck and seems very disciplined. You never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a back up, back up plan. However, kid hits like a truck and seems very disciplined. You never know. i think he would be worth the risk....i don't know about his speed or lateral movement,but he is hunting somebody to hit and it didn't take long ro see that he is a much better tackler than anyone we have that has played for 4 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter1978 0 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 i wish we would offer him and then not be left out. I agree lets give him a scholarship and take a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenesChin 9 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Ya... we aren't going to be left out on him scholarship wise. He is a small (5'10-5'11) LB who isn't fast enough to make up for it. A walk on slot would be very much deserved and if he is good enough he will earn a scholarship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter1978 0 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 When we know were to go in the defense it makes up for a little lack of speed. Get him in weight program gains 10 pounds he will be good to go. We have some LBs smaller than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubinvnam 29 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 There is a case to be made that nobody is too small to play in the SEC...or the NFL if they have what it takes otherwise. Check this: http://www.canalstre...-on-nfl-rosters Generally, more than half the players in the NFL are under 6 feet tall. Sam Mills was a pro bowler and played more than ten years and was about 5'-9. I see too many posts on these boards that automatically dismiss a prospect over his weight, his height or whatever without knowing much else about him. Our linebackers last year looked better suited to the professional bowling tour than to SEC football. Let's get some big guys that can run and stuff the run. We have gone small for too long and it has killed us. I love me some Darren Bates but I don't think we can be a championship team without more size on our defense. Looking forward to seeing what Kris Frost and Cass Mackenzie look like next year. Hopefully Reuben will be out there with him as he already seems to have the size and speed of an SEC linebacker. Let's give ourselves a fighting chance for a change. WDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambda Tiger 0 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Any news on JP Sherling? Kid is one heck of a football player. We need to offer this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,093 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Any news on JP Sherling? Kid is one heck of a football player. We need to offer this kid. No news. If we get Reben back and add Cunningham to go with Toney we are likely done at LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LATiger 0 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 A former coach from Elba High School told me that he begged Auburn and Alabama to give a kid named Ronald McKinnon a shot at a scholarhip and was told that he was "too short"....needless to say, this same young man went to North Alabama and won every trophy available and ended up playing about 1o years for the Cardinals. If i'm not wrong; he made all-pro a couple of times. You can't put a ****** (star) on heart and desire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aufan57 922 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 was suppose to sign with LA Tech. Saw on al.com earlier this week he had committed to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camjuice31 0 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 He looks too small to play LB in the SEC. Jake Holland, Johnny Evans, Justin Garrett, Javy Mitchell all say hello... Garrett and Mitchell are both under 200 lbs... And, Holland and Evans are both under 6 ft. I'd say if Sherling were to gain a few lbs, he would be juuussst fine... The whole TRUTH and nothing but the TRUTH, WDENeither Justin Garrett or Javie Mitchell are under 200 pounds? Jake Holland is not under 6 foot? Justin Garrett and Javie Mitchell are at least 6'1 or 6'2? All these guys mentioned also have superior athleticism (maybe except for Holland) in terms of speed, lateral quickness and explosiveness though. Haven't seen who you are talking about but there is a difference between high school and college level ability I can assure you that Holland IS under six feet tall... And, this JP Sherling kid is WAY more physical in stature than Garrett is (especially when he came out of high school), and yes, he IS still under 200 pounds. He got considerably smaller as the season went on. -as did alot of our players.... And poor Javy, to this day, has still never played in a game at the linebacker position... Don't believe the media guides or gameday programs. They boost numbers as much as the recruiting sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTi9er96 9 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 He reminds me of Jason Miska!!! Give him a shot, we could use another linebacker. I definetly agree that you cannot put any numbers around heart and desire. Talent is talent regardless of measurables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
