Decker and the Wr from NY, Oquendo were probably the only two JLS recruits that I said were MAC level. they were filler and had no business being recruited by us. Decker sounded like a good kid, smart and a team player type, but he should have been a prefered walk on.
I really think we need someone bigger than Jones or Gordon inside. Gordan iside and Jones and Misch on the outsides is one small set of starting LB's. The position is a weekness, period. I'm just being realistic.

I just hate that "MAC talent" label that people like to throw around. Linebacker is obviously a position in which we don't have a lot of quality depth at. I could easily see one of Jones or Gordon bulking up, however. I'd say that they are already pretty close to the size of the average Big Ten middle linebacker (6'2" 230-235) except for being maybe an inch or two shorter.
