Lavert Hill and David Long are very good. So much talk about

front seven, Gary, Winovich, Bush.

These guys, especially considering they barely played last year are damn impressive.

LaVert Hill will be a top draft choice when he leaves. He is by far the best DB on the team and I only see him getting better. I will be anxious to see how he improves through the rest of the season.

Penn State knew Lavert Hill was good long before UM coaches.. If PSU can continue to build their program up that would be one of the reasons why.. their ability to identify talent before other teams do.. Nobody really wanted Grant Haley, and he's a mid-season All-American.

Lucky for Harbaugh that he is smart enough to follow the coattails of James Franklin or we would end up with a bunch of 1 and 2 stars on our team.

All the good coaches and programs will identify talent earlier than others. Franklin is certainly NOT the only one who can do this, as many other coaches in the conference alone have proven it. They will all find some earlier than others, and miss on others.
