While we have a 2 deep at LB - I think only Barry has shown the ability to consistently play at a big ten level - that is 1 of 8 guys
That is good to hear. JoJo has shown flashes but I maintain Barry is the only LB on the team that has shown he can play and consistently stay in the field. That is a lot of uncertainty for that position - particularly if you are a 3-4 teamNot on the 110 ATM but shouldn't be too long for JoJo I've heard.
Chin says AM and WanRob giving them problems, also mentions JD and Mills among others

Not too worried about it. If Frost would have inherited a team where all the position groups played at a sustainable Big 10 level through two deep....we wouldn't have need a coaching change to begin with
OLB Caleb Tannor reportedly looks much bigger than last year. Feels great, says he's much more comfortable in year 2.
Could be a difference maker at that spot.
Size/weight only thing holding him back.Yeah, I have high hopes for that dude. A 4 star OLB from Georgia should be a good player at some point.
A little over-dramatic? Ferguson is every bit as good as Barry. Domann, Honas, and Miller have shown they can play at a Big 10 level when they got in.While we may have enough bodies for a 2 deep at LB - I think only Barry has shown the ability to consistently play at a big ten level - that is 1 of 8 guys

Mo will probably be on All B1G lists at the end of the season. Would be nice if Ferg had a monster season. If the others can indeed play at a P5 level, NU will be fine at LB.A little over-dramatic?

Ferguson had 36 tackles last year Barry had 112 and received all conference mentions. That is hardly “every bit as good”.
JoJo and Honas haven’t shown the ability to be consistently available.
They may take a big step forward this year, and I hope they do, but I’m typically in the show me don’t tell me camp.
Wonder if the handle Martinez2Robinson4daTD is available?
Kind of an awkward camp to be in over the off season banter. I mean a guy who doesn't have much production literally can't soothe your worries until a good chunk of the season plays out and you see if the production changes.
There's really nothing Frost or the fans can say to assuage that
Who was in their 4th year? Most of the mentioned linebackers are going to be juniors this year. They got about as much playing time as you'd expect for a sophomore, and now that they're upperclassmen you expect that they take over the starting role and do a good job. If you were paying any attention last year, you'd see that each of those players has the potential to do that.Part of that depends on whether the player didn’t see much of the field because although talented he was playing behind a bunch of all conference - Butkus award winners on a filthy defense versus being in your 4th year and not yet being able to get consistent playing time on really crappy defenses. The latter case suggests there might be a talent deficiency
