2023 Spring Practice

[FrancoPizza]

Wax, Thompson, Bailey, Sparrow, McDonald. Excellent group right there.

LBs are legit but i think McDonald has been overvalued because of that one interception that was literally thrown right to him.

I don't disagree. I think as a backup and rotation he's a nice piece. Wax and Thompson start and then it seems like Bailey has an inside track.

He was jut a redshirt freshman and he hadn't played LB before college so he'll likely improve. But ife we have better starting options at LB, especially since Thompson is back a switch could happen. I like him as a football player though. His HS film was at both at DE and TE and I thought he looked pretty darn good at both. I think he could make a solid TE as well.

Crucible Steel still around? I see a great NIL/Advertising opportunity with those T-Shirts in the 4th pic.

Being in European culture also helps.

do soccer plays work that hard at putting on 30-50lbs like all these fball players do?

The kid wasn't overvalued. He only played in 9 games and was 8th on the team in tackles with 43. 9 tackles against NC State and 8 against Clemson. Being the biggest LB on the team at 6-4 he crept up to and played on the DL a lot.

edit*People worried about the loss of Carter yet Barron, Clark and Simmons were all ahead of him in tackles. Johnson as CB was ahead of Duce. Had the same INTs and PBs.

Add Lowery to the mix and we have a strong 2-deep at LB.

How is Roon looking in that group?

SUDad already did this a couple of posts above but the scholarship guys are McDonald (in blue). Wax (in black in the middle) and Barron with the black NY apple hat top right.

Shredder is everywhere

Shredder is everywhere

He has taken to cuse well clearly. Always supporting other teams. He truly is all cuse and I know he will b an orange legend in my eyes. His heart on and off the is all cuse and that’s what I personally love to see.

Maybe noted before buy McDonald is wearing a boot

Maybe part of the reason why it seemed other LB's were getting more and more snaps at LB the last few games of the year.
