Well, after looking at Helu's recruiting page, there isn't any evidence of him being looked at as a linebacker. He played mainly the offensive side of the ball, and was rarely seen on the defensive side (if at all) and I would guess that coaches were recruiting him as a running back as that's what he was projected at and played at. My guess would be that if he was told he was going to be a linebacker, he would probably transfer.

Also, Okafor isn't a lock at all, he's a soft verbal right now and has publicly been shopping around at other schools. So who knows what's going to happen with him. You can never have enough running backs.
So yeah, you might be a little crazy.
That may be.....
Helu did play safety in H.S., so he could slide over to D.......... that's all I was saying initially, it "could" be a possibility for Bo to consider (keeping that loaded runningback-field in mind).
Agreed. Guys forget, all these guys played all over the field in H.S., I can't wait to see the new staff find out the right pegs for the right holes...
