It was my understanding that we we're only going to be taking one safety this year and that McCarthy was the only offered. Also, it's been said that the reason Kris Johnston is waiting on an offer is because the staff is holding out for McCarthy. Is Johnston going to be recruited as a CB because it seems like they would have offered him before offering another safety.

At 6-1 175 he's one inch taller but the same weight McNeil was as a HS Senior. He's one inch taller and 3 pounds heavier than Walls was as a Senior.

He's the same height but 9 pounds lighter than Sergio Brown as a Senior.

Senior HT WT per Rivals
Bruton 6-2 180
Herring 5-10 187
Kyle McCarthy 6-0 172

Lambert 6-0 185 as a Senior.

Gardener 5-11 185
Hegemon 5-11 180
Parish 6-1 195
Wooden 6-1 190
Zbikowski 6-1 190

I'm not sure if your saying we should be looking at different types of guys or what but I think these are pretty average numbers for guys at their positions coming out of HS. For example the following 5 guys are probably the top 5 at their position in the upcoming draft and these are their numbers out of HS, these are Scouts, Inc. numbers.

Leon Hall 5-11 175

Micheal Griffin 6-0 178

Reggie Nelson 6-0 174

Darrelle Revis 6-1 180

Chris Houston 6-0 180

So again I wouldn't say we are really pigeon holing guys I think its just the average CB/S body type coming out of HS.

Many believe Robert to be a Michigan lock at this point, but some think the Irish might have a better shot than most believe.
