Miami (Ohio) Guard Brandon Brooks

[VrabelMayeWin]

I know he's bigger than most of out guards but he was the second quickest Guard in the draft and compares favorably overall to DeCastro :

Brooks (Pro Day)

Height: 6050
Weight: 346
40 Yrd Dash: 4.99
20 Yrd Dash: 2.79
10 Yrd Dash: 1.71
225 Lb. Bench Reps: 36
Vertical Jump: 32
Broad Jump: 08'09"
20 Yrd Shuttle: 4.53
3-Cone Drill: 7.37

DeCastro (Combine)

Height: 6045
Weight: 316
40 Yrd Dash: 5.43
225 Lb. Bench Reps: 34
Vertical Jump: 29 1/2
Broad Jump: 08'02"
20 Yrd Shuttle: 4.56
3-Cone Drill: 7.30

Mankins :

Height: 6041
Weight: 307
40 Yrd Dash: 5.06
20 Yrd Dash: 3.00
10 Yrd Dash: 1.85
225 Lb. Bench Reps: 21
Vertical Jump: 31 1/2
Broad Jump: 07'11"
20 Yrd Shuttle: 4.45
3-Cone Drill: 7.54

DeCastro barely wins the Shuttle and 3 Cone, Brooks wins the others.

Unless they have plans for Cannon there, we need a Guard for 2013 assuming Waters even plays this year.

I could easily see us taking him at 2a unless there are concerns he'll grow even bigger.
