ShugMan55 0 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 An article on Track'em Tigers indicated that this 4 star OLB (Florida State commit) would be in Auburn this weekend. Anyone got any info or insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausburn 159 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hoskins is from Orlando and goes to high school with recent AU commit Dominic Walker. Hoskins is an FSU commit. http://www.orlandose...,0,1764679.post Hoskins National team and Orland Evans teammate WR Dominic Walker scored a 65-yard touchdown in the first half shortly after announcing his commitment to Nebraska, as the pair made a nice Orlando representation at the Houston event. The National squad won 20-9. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/highschool/football/os-hs-all-central-florida-defensive-caps-20130112,0,2731223.story LB Ro'Derrick Hoskins Evans, 6-4, 220, Sr. The Buzz: Agile, hostile and mobile linebacker used athleticism to play tight end for Trojans (9-3). College plan: Committed to FSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausburn 159 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Any real chance we flip him? No direct info. With DC having been at FSU and getting Walker to change from Neb to AU are the biggest things I see. The Ro'derrick/Walker high school connection. There is interest on our part for another linebacker it appears. So with DC working Fla and with his visit at AU this weekend there could be magic.

ShugMan55 0 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 He does not seem to have alot of offers for a 3/4 star guy. After the last couple of years I say get as many LB as we can and sort it out later. Same feeling at cornerback - keeping my fingers crossed for Alexander.

We need another LB or two in this class in the worst way! We will have a good linebacker in this class.....and we will have some very good defensive lineman that will make their job easier. He may not of visited, but was wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not of visited, but was wondering. We will have a good LB. Maybe two. We needed four. In 2010 we signed the top LB class in the nation. Of those four only Holland is left. It takes a bunch of 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCBAuburnaFan 1 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 In all fairness to our current lb core I really like kris frost, cassinova, and I believe Anthony swain could still step uo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DyeCampAlum 335 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Coaching. For all we know, Holland might surprise us. For all we know, 30 and 17 might just be holy terrors next year. Playing LB is so much about seeing, anticipating, and getting there. If you're thinking and confused, you'll react slowly. Also, if the OL can get to you unimpeded, you have a problem. People can talk about Holland being slow, etc., and I see why. But you never know how much of that is system and coaching and how much is the kid. Clearly a position that calls for more depth.

Honesty if Jh wraps up on all of his hits he'd have 200 tackles. He's in position a lot to make a play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DyeCampAlum 335 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Tackling has a lot to do with confidence and knowing what you're doing. When you're confused, you don't tackle well. I'm just guessing here, but I suspect Holland never got to the point where he really saw what was going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a little of Holland's film from high school and unfortunately I don't think he is going to surprise anyone. He always struck me as a guy was strong enough to be a brick wall, but wasn't particularly fast or aggressive. He tended to move to where the runner was headed and wait for him. Maybe a different style of defense will play to his strengths, but I wouldn't expect him to become a living torpedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
