Easy. The Middle Linebacker is one of the best in the SBC, and will step into C-USA as one of the best MLB's as well.

I love Zach's motor and he is the best we have, but he is at such a disadvantage playing middle at 220 (I look back at the UH game as a perfect example). I wish we were able to have a DE sized guy there to be a run stopper and allow Zach to freelance and rush the passer a little more.

I think you are dead on target. I would love to see Zach be able to move to the outside and put a bigger guy in the middle. Unfortunately we don't have that guy to replace him with.

I agree with Whitfield. As a freshman, moving to DB in the Fall, earning a starting position and playing well for most of the year was great. Considering we get another three years of Zach, plus with the hope that we will improve our pass rush, he will be a good one for a while. I was also pleased with Hilbert Jackson's play. He will be remembered for his hit in the LSU game, but he was pretty solid this year.

Derek Akunne is 20 pounds heavier than Zach and is a natural MLB, yet Coach Mac has slid him to the outside to get him on the field while keeping Zach in the middle.

      Javion was my pick as well followed closely by Mitchel, just to see what he could accomplish under a good coach.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.
