Galippo is way better than Kennard. If it weren't for that referee not blowing the whistle after the play because he forgot how to do his job, Galippo would be one of the top linebackers in the draft this year. Kennard couldn't tackle at Stanford, Oregon, or Oregon State. He is one of the most overrated players in college football.
Uh huh.... Average. That's why he was ESPN's #1 recruit in the country coming out of high school and was just named to the midseason All-American team along with Brandon Spikes and Eric Norwood. He's ok, nothing special.
How does someone "blow" in a highlight reel? What was he supposed to do, strip every ball and return it for a TD? That was one of the dumbest things I've ever read.
my bad for assuming that a usc recruit should have better hallmark plays than any other high school football player. im sure hes good, usc is recruiting him....you can't even argue that the highlight reel should have just been called reel
take those blinders off hater. watching that reel shows why he came out as a 5star, top 3 LB in the nation out of HS. He also won MVP honors of the Army All American game
They could have shown the helmets he knocked off or the plays where he sent guys to the hospital.... but this is a recruiting video. You think coaches care about who can knock a helmet off or who can pursue sideline to sideline?
I'm sure he'll get some reps. He's too good not to. If Rey Mauluga wasn't there he'd definitely start, but he can't hit like Rey and he doesn't strike fear into opponents like Rey. Galippo would start at any other D1 program, but he happens to be playing behind Rey.
Well also take into consideration he hasn't had the chance to build the reputation Rey has. Rey's a great player, and of course Chris will sit behind him, but I don't think the "lack of" intimiation factor plays much of a roll. He's just hasn't got the reps. 2009 though he's going to make a HUGE splash
Consideration taken. He needs to stay healthy, most importantly, because he is legit, no doubt. But, Rey has a presence when he's on the field. Rey needs work on fundamental reads, but he can produce the "highlight" hit or play...Chris is "textbook", great of course, but not someone who'll make you say, "OOOHHHHWEEEE". Excellent player though.
Agreed. I'm not the biggest USC fan, to say the least, but they never lose more than two games a year, at the most. If they could actually learn to take every game seriously (Stanford, OrSU) they would be national title every year. I think the only team similar is Florida.
Hey, just trying to figure out if your being honest because Chris is my cousin. Are you possibly related through my aunt (chris' mom)? I just don't want to say much in the open here, so send me a message.
galippo is the real deal. best of luck to him at USC and look forward to seeing him in the NFL. maualuga, cushing, and now galippo... thats a pretty badass group of linebackers, the best set of LB's in the country. yeaahh go trojans!!
doesnt start anymore. take a seat on the bench bitch!

i hope he's improved a lot, which i'm sure he has (USC's coaching staff is rediculous)...because he blows in that "highlight" reel
