1) Is Dadi Nicolas ready to be a starter?
GMSAHokie: We’ll see, but probably not. Nicolas (r-So.) is yet another guy (WOW, this defense has loads of potential) who just jumps out at you when he is on the field. His combination of motor and athleticism are probably unmatched by any other player on the team. In fact, I can’t remember a player that single-minded and vicious in pursuit since Corey Moore wore Orange and Maroon. And, Nicolas is blessed with a much better frame than Moore. If Nicolas can put on some extra muscle, maintain his high-energy and learn to play with discipline, control, and great technique, then he is undoubtedly an NFL player. That said, he is probably not quite ready to be a starter. He is still a very young player. Remember that he had legal issues that kept him out of practice last season and cost him valuable reps.
