I have heard from some HS coaches Maurice really wasn't much of a football player at least in HS.
That certainly doesnt mean that with some maturity and hard work he hasnt improved.
Maurice was shot twice so his judgement was a bit suspect in the past.
Lil bro has impressive size but there is a reason you put a 6'5" guy at free safety instead of WR.......he cant catch.....yet
ODDLY ENOUGH Maurice is now listed at WR on the 2008 Louisville roster.

In Mario's case you would think that a guy who has ran thousands of routes and had thousands of passes thrown at him would be proficient by now at catching passes.
I believe that if everyday I shot 1,000 free throws a day I would get better and be better than the average player at shooting free throws.
Receiver is a skill and as many impressive plays as Mario has made he has dropped just as many so maybe he's just not as skilled of a receiver as we would like to think.
While it bewilders us all why he cant do it every time he gets a pass tossed his way there is a reason, maybe he's just not as good as Harry Douglass who catches everything and because of his competitiveness gets every inch he can after the catch.
Too bad Douglass isnt 6'6" and Urrutia is 5'9".
