You can't rush perfection.

 

[Grahambo]

With a numbers crunch this year I assume it would be a little difficult to get him in but if we have room, I'm all in.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

I can't see us getting this kid

Any particular reason?

 

[Bogtrotter07]

I just have a feeling that this is someone we want, and he may want to be Irish, too!

 

[irishknight35]

would love to see some film on this kid. He is big and looks athletic. We are in good position with some excellent DE talent but you gotta have back-up plans.

 

[Buster Bluth]

It's obviously very early in the process. If Washington and Oregon want him, we should look. 6'7 (and some say 6'8) with long arms isn't something to sneeze at. For all we know, he's super athletic and it will be revealed that he is Troy Niklas 2.0. It's FEBRUARY of 2013 hahah

Any particular reason?

I think they're joking about the profile before I was able to get it written and updated. For a few minutes it was just ".".

I think ATH might be more accurate. I assume he fits the "big (as hell) skill" Kelly likes. Who knows. He could be a Springmann, or he could be a Niklas.

Hahaha yes, that was in reference to the . Profile that was listed before

Very true. Don't want to label this kid anything other than athletic for now.

Don't know how accurate it is but Rivals has his shuttle at 4.5 which for being 6'7'' or 6'8'' and weighing as much as he does isn't half bad.

LB or RB

Anybody thinking OL?

 

[irishknight35]

Anybody thinking OL?

Was thinking the same thing after watching the highlight clip from the camp he went to. Seems to be very athletic with long arms and quick feet. He wasn't exactly facing world beaters but he was consistently dominant.

 

[Grahambo]

Anybody thinking OL?

No question. If the staff is keen on Gibbons playing OL (rightfully so) then I definitely see this kid growing naturally into a tackle.

For some reason I don't know if Gibbons is getting that offer. Could be a Kyle Bosch situation.

So be it. I trust the staff.

 

[Buster Bluth]

Anybody thinking OL?

It appears that OT/TE/DE is his skillset. Reminds me of Troy in that regard, again.

So can one of those omnipotent mods change this to ATH in the thread title?

 

[woolybug25]

It seems like every year we grab a "tweener" that has great measurables and motor. They end up filling depth for our team. Matuska was that guy in this years class. Heggie was that guy in BK's first class (can you see the trend of that "tweener" guy improving in quality alongside our overall team depth?). I wouldn't mind grabbing an athlete like this real early or real late to cap off a great class.

 

[STLDomer]

FYI McGary's name came up because he wanted to hear more from ND Stanford, and SEC schools, it is unknown if ND has any interest in him whatsoever

Oh yeah he screams OL.

So, he either wants a great education or wants to be featured on an episode of Cops. Interesting.
