Christian Wallace should be the "See stars in recruiting really don't matter" poster child.... Or... "stars don't matter when coached by certain coaches/ staff". Raw + lack of coaching = not a recipe for success.

I didn’t even know he had transferred. Wallace hasn't transferred. He registered and is in the database of potential transfers.

Or... "stars don't matter when coached by certain coaches/ staff". Raw + lack of coaching = not a recipe for success. His best path probably should of been to bulk up to OLB. He was pretty quick, but he had about zero agility. Even when you watch his HS highlights, all he was ever doing was running really fast to the outside. and sometimes using his size to shed a tackle. I am pretty sure I didn't see a single carry between the tackles in any of his HS film... No hips for a CB. couldn't run low to be a RB... Why Anderson though it was any kind of good idea to put him at CB is as big of mystery as why he refused to start 3M. A guy with good size and speed, but not really great overall agility should probably be a LB. He was 6-2 and about 215. not a stretch to think he could of put on 20 pounds.

The other major difference is the EKU is an FCS school, while WKU is an FBS school. They do have a top notch Fire Science program, so if you want be a smoke eater, its a great school.

Yeah, I noticed saw this too, what I couldn't figure out, is was this bad coaching or lack of talent? Who knows, maybe the staff was telling him over and over, to break down earlier and work on footwork and he didn't listen, or maybe they just figured great 40 times and bench press numbers are all that you need. I mean shoot Jordan Poyer was a poster child for anticipation, positioning, and footwork, never blew anyone out of the water with speed or strength alone.

I'm making the times up but if he was a 4.6 40 guy, yet figured out what was happening 0.3 seconds before anyone else, did that make him a 4.3 40 guy? And Trent Bray was another who I thought was slow a foot (not sure about strength) but seemed to know what has going to happen before anyone else and therefore was generally in the right place at the right time.
