I wouldn't put Rose in the same sentence as Lavonte other than something like they both are LBs or something like that. Here is why. Two entirely different LBs. Rose is a more natural ILB whereas David is more of a prototypical OLB. Due to injuries and defensive packages, we got to witness him play inside a bunch. I agree with daskers there is just so much that David brought to that defense that it probably hasn't even set in with the majority of us fans. I hope Mike Rose becomes a hell of a Blackshirt, but right now I would hope he becomes a last half of the season Will Compton. That is the better comparison IMO

I'll take 3 last half of the season Will Comptons locking down the middle of the field and stuffing the run. Count me in for that!

 
Funny how we talk on here about how recruits could care less about message boards and such, which for the most part is true, but Michael Rose tweeted this today: I read message boards, especially http://TigerBoard.com, for motivation.

 
If we're lucky there will never be another player like Austin Cassidy. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)
Ya. I have no problem with the kid, but I cannot believe there wasn't someone better than him to play!! He was on Big Red Wrap Up this week, and dude has to do something with his curly a$$ long hair. He looks like a girl! It really doesn't help with his looks!!
Troy Polamalu says hi.

None of us knew for sure when he committed that LD would be the linebacker he became the last two years. If our new crop of recruits bring anything close to what he delivered in talent and smarts we'll have a solid class at that spot.
