Re: Scout lists 2 new committs... Cutrera and Allen should both be 4 star players, Cutrera could move up to a 5 star LB if he really does run that 4.5 that his profile indicates.
Rivals will come out with the rankings in May or whenever the "evaluation" period ends, so at the lastest the beginning of June .
straight line speed for a linebacker isnt nearly as important as lateral mobility.. gotta have quick feet, slide and hit the hole... (sounds like porn directions)
Watch Cutrera's videos, he's a beast. He may not run a 4.5, but he aint far from it and he has good technique, aggressiveness, and a good *ahem* powerplant.
No doubt instincts and smarts are just as important as speed. I think LB play is the one position on the field thgat requires an equal amnount of all the attributes to be a great one. You can't just over power a guy, or outrun a guy, or have great instinct w/o having good speed, or have good smarts w/o having good tackling form, etc. Especially a MLB.
