Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted September 23 Moderators Share Posted September 23 Update: 4-star LB Madden Faraimo OnTexasFootball exchanged messages with a person locked into the recruitment of 4-star++ linebacker Madden Faraimo (San Juan Capistrano, Calif./JSerra Catholic) a little while ago. As expected, Texas linebackers coach Johnny Nansen continues to make an all in recruiting run at the high-end linebacker. According to the source, Nansen and Faraimo are discussing a game day visit this season, but a date has not been locked in yet. The source said Nansen and Faraimo spoke last week, at least once. Faraimo has a top three of USC, Notre Dame and Texas. The Trojans have made the most impactful run thus far this season. 19 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goattalk100 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Yea USC’s improved defense could be tough to beat. If they have a good season & finish in the top 15 then I think he’s almost a lock to SC 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their inability to tackle and stop the run is what lost them the michigan game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not near the frame or power on contact. Probably a step faster from B gap to sideline too - Faraimo. Longer arms Faraimo. I think he's the higher end prospect. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their inability to tackle and stop the run is what lost them the michigan game. I think we were watching different games. After taking a 14-0 lead about halfway thru the second quarter Michigan had 1 first down until the winning drive. UM had to punt after making one first down, 4 punts on three and outs plus a fumble around their own 10. And then UM moved the ball on their winning drive for the first time in 2 and 1/2 quarters. Michigan had about 10 yards of total offense in the second half before that drive. USC was anything but playing soft. I don’t like Riley and hope he loses every game but their defense gave them a chance by stopping UM on 6 straight possessions. If anything it was Riley’s offense that cost them the game IMO. They scored 3 points in the first half and threw a pick 6 in the second half. I hope Faraimo chooses us but I liked our chances better for the California player when it looked like it was between us and ND. I guess we will see if Nansen can work his magic. A lot of football left to be played. Hook’em. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 USC was playing against a one dimensional qb with questionable decision making. They still gave up the big run in the end. It’s like bragging about only giving up 20 points to the Iowa offense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That defense is markedly improved this year & that DC is very highly regarded. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Vastly improved" over a very low bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
