Texas LBs being overlooked

by thestos on Jun 14, 2008 1:34 PM CDT

I feel like the Texas linebacking core is quite a bit underrated coming into 2008. As much as I'd like to raise hell about this, I actually think it may be a positive. I think it is a theme for our 2008 team as a whole. Underrated, off the radar, low national expectations. I think it may provide some inspiration for the team, and with Muschamp stoking that fire, I think the upside is huge.

Check out these names below, and let me know if you think the LBs will be a liabillity.

Experience: Rashad Bobino (SR), Roddrick Muckelroy (JR), Jared Norton (JR)

Potential: Sergio Kindle (JR), Kenaan Robinson (rsFR), Dustin Earnest (SO)

That second group has some natural, physical ability that we haven't even begun to see yet. I am excited.

Who are you most interested in watching this year out of this group?

LB's

I don’t think Dustin Earnest will see a lot of playing time. He is the least talented of the group. Kindle is the best, but he gets hurt way too much. I’m looking forward to seeing Keenan Robinson. He was all over the place in the HS all star game I watched awhile back. The coaches seem to really like Bobina, so expect to see him a lot this year.

Bobino!

I’m ready to see Kindle step up and do something finally. He was the most heralded LB at Texas since D.J. and for some reason he just hasn’t produced a lot. I know he’s had a few injuries and such, but he needs to stay healthy and live up to his hype that he came in with.
