Fortunately, most people who have sense listen to me.
A&T had a blind spot with Zariek Rush last year until I brought him to their attention on this message board and they finally offered him a scholarship.
I am hoping A&T will again appreciate my wisdom and lock up Monroe.
I dont like to tell other people how to do their jobs, but I also dont like losing out on local blue chip talent.

How many of those second half passes were completed against Monroe? There were at least 2 where he lost leverage and got beat. The QB got 4-5 chunk plays in the 2nd half that shifted monentum in the game. Monroe comes up in run support on one clip in that SE Guilford game on his Hudl clip... 2 tackles and a PBU from the 1st half. None from the 2nd half, though.... LOL!!! The injury is likely the main concern for recruiting purposes. This is what I see Monroe is not Fluent enough to be a corner at the college level not saying with coaching he could not be . McCain III was a natural Smooth Hips  Monroe plays to up right and stiff and there is know why you can tell me that he run a 4.5 or 6 , 40 playing against the receivers I saw on tape That Ford kid from page lunch on him all day not because of his speed but his rout running Look the young man is a Safety putting him on and Island at the college level against a good rout runner with speed is a No No . I hope that he runs track this season because he has no amp in his turnover . I am not knocking the young man with good coaching he may well be a corner one day But I see a Safety in my opinion |

BTW Aggie Monster, this is what you previously said about Monroe on a different thread: My evaluation of talent is based off of who we are. That Dudley kid is a FBS CB. We aint getting him unless he just loves A&T or transfers in later. His technique, size, and speed all say FBS. Of course you will see better tape of ROVs, but that kid I pointed out because I pointed him out as an FCS talent. Not a FBS kid that we have a smidgen of hope to get. You were correct in your assessment then. Trust your first instinct. Monroe is a blue chip recruit. The only thing you were wrong about was that we didn't have a chance to get him. Let me repeat: he actually WANTS TO PLAY FOR US. That is the reason I created this thread - because he is somebody we can EASILY sign. The only reason we are even having this discussion is because A&T is dragging their feet. |

I wonder if he would be interested in playing outside LB?

I wonder if he would be interested in playing outside LB? Why? He is 180 pounds and a first team all state defensive back. |

Not many in that group are true corners, mostly safeties. We really need to address the corner position. Wait a got dam minute if you are a safety you truly suppose to be the fastest guy in the back field so if we have a bunch of safest listed why cant they easily be train to be a corner? You cant train a corner to b a safety if he don't have the speed in the first place. |

A safety is generally not faster than a corner and does not have the same man-to-man coverage skills.
A safety is considered the "last line of defense" but he is not the fastest guy in the backfield. He just lines up deeper and has different coverage responsibilities.

I am not knocking the young man with good coaching he may well be a corner one day But I see a Safety in my opinion I didn't see the Page game that a couple of people were saying he got beat-up in. I only saw his tape. But based on what I saw I tend to disagree. He's a very lean and tall kid. He has room for a lot more power in his game after he hits the weights a little harder and does a lot of quick feet drills. But back to his bad games. Every high school CB has them. Shoot, most college CBs have them. Should he start right away or be locked up in man day 1 in college, maybe not. But he has the tools in my opinion to play CB at FCS and up. |

Don't worry: these guys didn't see the Page game either. They just looked at the final score and decided Monroe played poorly.
I covered Page several times this year and their QB had a knack for scrambling outside the pocket, straddling the line of scrimmage and then finding a open receiver down field once the play broke down.
Almost all of Page's big pass plays in that game came on busted plays where it looked like the QB was gonna scramble. One of their long touchdowns came on a trick pass play from the wide receiver on a jet sweep.

I’m probably biased because I know the young man and family but bottom line is he can play! He did have an injury the last game of the season but it’s not a major injury by any means. I agree with some people he may be a college safety based on his frame and hips. Bottom line he can play and wants to be an Aggie so hopefully it happens!

The kid has talent that he has not tapped I to yet with the right coaching he could be another McCain , but I see safety as his position . A&T needs to step up it's game on kids in there back yard . They have and outside Linebacker at Page that could be a good fit at 6'1" 225lb . |

Sounds crazy, but a lot of times recruiting simply comes downs to the relationships college coaches may have with high school coaches.
Can't remember the last time we have signed a kid from Page. And they always have as much speed and talent as Dudley.

You cant train a corner to b a safety if he don't have the speed in the first place. The safety and MLB are the QB's of the defense depending on what system you use . The safety positions play off of angles but they are not usually the fastest person in the secondary . The cornerbacks are your speedsters . It's easier to make a safety than a corner because in most systems and a lot of cover packages the CB's are on and island unless they are in a Zone cover scheme. |

Monroe plays to up right and stiff and there is know why you can tell me that he run a 4.5 or 6 , 40 playing against the receivers I saw on tape
