Peterman on Kaleb McGary

[doogsohard]

I am excited about this. Peterson doesn't spew out bullshit hype about players, which is a really nice change of pace.

McGary also holds a page in the encyclopedia of Eklund lore for being the player that Eklund made wrong predictions 3 times in the span of about a week. In case anyone forgot:

Eklund says McGary to OSU - McGary eliminates OSU
Eklund then predicts McGary to Wiscy - McGary eliminates Wiscy
Eklund says McGary to Wazzu - McGary picks UW

Your* only pointing out the times he was wrong.

He would but posts on these forums have character limits.

atleats subway accepted the points you already had. subway is phasing that program out and you could have been stuck with no reward at all. you still should have punched the kid working though.

Insightful.

McGary is one of the best physical specimens on the team. He was 270-280 during recruitment and was 302 according to the roster a few weeks ago. He is physically ready to play but has to learn the position. How quickly he can develop as an OL will tell us something about Strausser.

Adams is the opposite in the sense that he has the technical experience but is one year behind in S&C.

I know its a low chance now but if we could steal back Eletise and get Sarrell we'd have a substantial amount of blue chip OL talent in the pipeline.

Saw McGary walk into the tunnel after scrimmage last night. Kid is massive; going to be a beast.

That could be true though James was recruited as an OT and is definitely 6'5". Maybe he could eventually take over at LG if McGary passes him.

I agree, Shelton looked solid at LT. The silver lining in losing Riva for 2014 was that he got a lot of PT at RT and didn't really skip a beat moving over to the left side.

Besides recruiting better players, the change from Tuff guy Cozz and Ivan the Meat to Strausser and Socha continues to pay dividends.

One guy I wouldn't sleep on this year, as well, is Coleman Shelton. He looked like a high schooler last year playing against college kids at RT. I'm not sure how much he weighed, but he couldn't have been more than 270, if that. Despite all that, he wasn't horrible. Now that he's up near 300 pounds he may surprise some at LT.

Getting Matt James from 250 to 285 was super important with Charles out. His future position is on the inside, though, with McGary taking the RT spot

The "This year, position/coach/player x will be special" stuff goes back to the mid 2000s. Doogs named AustinHussy and others wrote that on message boreds. Then we got Gilby and Ty's diarrhea and chocolate milk.

I do think there's reason for optimism, but until these magical 19 yr olds help produce a North title, it's just hot air and speculation.
