Wiltfong and Loy with the CB's. Wonder if that's them hearing that ND offers soon, or just a "if he gets offered, he's committing" kinda deal.

Wow this kid has an awesome tape. I love how violent and aggressive he his on contact and when he is trying to get off a block. I'm actually surprised he doesn't already have an offer. Sign him up, get him to 230-235 pounds, and let him roam the LOS.

Really times the snap well but I'm concerned there were no highlights in the first half of him in coverage. Not saying he needs to be covering 20 yards down field but he's always blitzing in the highlights.

I'll default to Elko.

Not as concerned about that as you might be, because we'll have Ovie (could end up at a Buck) and a Rover in this class. So we'll have some flexibility if McGrone ends up being a situational defender. I think that Jack Lamb is a better fit at Buck, but I like McGrone enough that if they decide to take him, I'd be happy with the move.

The kid can obviously play. But he doesn't look like he's going to get to 230 to me.

I could see this kid fitting Elko's rover position.

I agree. He looks like a 215 lb. rover. Plays like Tranquil. Maybe he'll get that big?

you think hes done adding muscle as a junior in HS?

Body by Balis can at least get this kid to 225.

Give Balis 18 months and McGrone is 235. He hasn't been leaned on yet. He also doesn't turn 17 until summer.

McGrone isn't number 28 right?

I'm excited to see more extensive coverage of him at II. Looks to have fully recovered from the ACL.

That dude he was matched up with is a 2020 recruit?

Good lord, kid was huge for a RB (or else McGrone has some big-time growing to do).

So it's likely he's the next commit now?

Him Booker and DJ Johnson in a dead heat coming into Invasion.

Milton's been listed at 6-1, 198 since I saved his info last Oct.

McGrone was measured in at The Opening at 6-1.5, 215. That's the same height and 10 lbs short of what Nyles Morgan was for the Opening.

He may even be on Koon's watchlist(?):

Things I learned this week:

Sampson on the Illustrated podcast:

McGrone wants to take OV's so no commitment at Invasion if that holds.

Bummer.
