Best: Rufus Alexander
Overrated: Paul Posluszny. I really hope he gets no postseason awards. He didn't deserve either of them last year and stole them from maybe the best Big-10 linebacker so far this decade.
Underrated: Earl Everret

Best- Mississippi's LB'r.
Over rated- Paul Pozloozly
Under rated- Both Vince Hall/ Xavier Adibi. Both of them don't get enough hype IMO. Who here has heard of these too (especally Vince Hall). They don't play great competition but they both can run very well, and both are gamers. I've been watchin Va Tech a lot over the years, and while I personally feel their program is very over rated due to their weak schedule. I also believe some of their players are very unrecognized.

Best: Patrick Willis, Ole Miss - 128 tackles, 3 sacks, 9.5 TFL, 4 broken up passes, 1 interception
He's a fast 6-2 and 230 pounds who was good enough to have been no worse than a second round NFL draft pick had he decided to leave early after dominating last season with five games of double-digit solo tackles (leading the nation in solo stops) and had double-digit stops in every game he was healthy except one; he made nine stops against Arkansas.
Overrated: Paul Posluszny, PSU
Underrated: H.B. Blades, Pitt - 121 tackles, 1 interception, 1 sack, 3.5 TFL, 6 broken up passes
Two-time All-Big East performer. He led the Big East with 121 tackles and was excellent in pass coverage after making the move from strongside to MLB. Hes the son of former Miami Hurricane star Bennie Blades has 286 career tackles with the range to anlways get to the ball and the size to make his presence recognized when hes there.

Agreed. He is the only USC defensive starter without a felony conviction.  |

That's a load of crap. Maualuga isn't necessarily going to start. |

I hope this is a joke. Let's just say that it's not every day that you hear that a college LB allegedly punched someone in the face at a party and later claimed that he owns the police. I know you're a USC fan, but even I gave you enough credit that you'd realize such actions are ridiculous. Guess I was wrong...

Hey, he had to sit out at least a couple quarters for that.
