If you want to say you think something's wrong with our recruiting because we pass on highly rated defensive backs simply because they don't fit the staff's metrics, that's fine.

What I take issue with is the assertion that Levi Wallace is playing for that reason. Levi Wallace is playing because he's a damned good football player.

Let me ask you this question. Is there a secondary in the SEC where, based on what we've seen thus far, Wallace wouldn't be playing a ton of snaps if not starting?

That's not what I'm implying at all. He's been our best defensive back this season.

That's exactly what I'm saying. My comments are more of a condemnation towards the guys we've taken who haven't panned out for whatever reason not a knock on Wallace. It's also a jab at passing on guys who aren't physically built a certain way even though their on the field production is off the charts.

Probably not. Like I said, he's been awesome.
