    Re: LB Lamin Barrow Commits

    I see that he's playing WR during the playoffs did anybody seem him play last week. Just like the the thought of a LB playing WR..imagine him crack blocking on someone.

    Great Post and Info by the way JohnLsu

    OK, OK. I get it. I buy it. I trust.

    His film is not great, at least not the Rivals stuff.

    Barrow comes pretty darn close to being as great as Mingo:

    Rivals.com Louisiana Preseason Top 40 2009
    #5 - Mingo (#1 LB)
    #7 - Barrow (#2 LB)

    Best Players in Louisiana by WWL-TV.com (CBS)
    #6 - Mingo (#1 LB)
    #7 - Barrow (#2 LB)

    Rivals.com Rating:
    5.8 - Mingo
    5.7 - Barrow

    In fact, at the Nike Camp in Baton Rouge, ESPN scout Craig Haubert got to see LBs Mingo (#11 SLB by Scout, #10 OLB by Rivals), Barrow (#22 SLB by Scout, #21 ILB by Rivals), and Tahj Jones (#16 WLB by Scout, #36 OLB by Rivals), and he wrote:

    While scouting the linebackers, Barrow stood out. He is an impressive-looking athlete with good size and a nice wingspan. He displayed a good motor, regularly being the first one up in drills. While contact was very limited, he did a nice job of being able to break down in space and get his hands on running backs. Mingo displayed much better upside, but Barrow might have been the best linebacker out there Sunday, and he likely helped his cause for some more attention with his performance.

    Look for Barrow to get a bump to 4 stars up to 5.8 but not top 250.

    Wasn't he a 4 star at first?

    He was in the original Rivals 250, which I thought was ridiculous. His tape & his offer sheet don't support it.

    Barrow is a solid pick-up, but I can't say I'm real excited about it.
