Here are my choices. Feel free to add on.


Kareem Jackson
Dre Kirkpatrick
Javier Arenas
Dee Milliner

What do they have in common? They were all studs and 2 of each played together on the same team. I want that again....

I hope you are right. Btw, my vote goes to Kareem because of how good he was as a true frosh.

A lot of those guys started as true freshmen. I wouldn't put it over his head. He seemed like a really smart kid in his announcement video, so hopefully he will figure things out quickly.

Isn't he also one of the EE's?

That's what I was thinking. Both Kareem and Dee came in and played corner immediately.

The corner blitz with Arenas was magical.

Kareem was in another league compared to the others. Fast as frick and thicker than all 3 of them. I recall him getting burned about 3 times in his career REALLY bad.

Another guy who gets forgotten in Marquis Johnson who was the 3rd corner with Javy and Kareem. He was a huge liability in '08 but was lockdown in '09

Arenas was better as a Nickel or playing in Zone than a straight up Corner.

Brown while rated the top CB prospect plays safety in HS. He has a lot to learn before he can crack the lineup.

I'm going to give Dre Kirkpatrick a vote. He was lockdown for most of 2010 and all of the 2011. I loved his physicality against the run. He laid the wood.

The only games I ever remember him giving up a play or two were the '10 USCe game against Alshon who is now an all-pro NFL WR, and then a couple against Arky in 2010.

I'd put him 2nd on the list, but as far as his physically against the run...... he operated under the justin woodall tackling philosophy - just run into them really hard and hope they fall down. Neither one of them wrapped up on a RB the entire time they were at Bama.
