*EDIT: I started this as a Skip Caldwell thread hence the title but it turned into a Mac Show highlights thread and forgot to change the title.
Lost 13 scholarship players (seniors). Signing 20 this class. Will be the first time at the full 85.
Gave out their ideal allocation for ships but I missed all of the exact numbers. At the end of the list he said they're leaving 2 scholarships slotted for "athletes." Doesn't care what side of the ball they're on - just looking for two exceptional guys who can make some serious game changing plays.
Mentioned that they hope to have have 3-4 JUCO transfers in January. The way he phrased it made it sound like they were a package of some sort.
Hopes to have much more depth and skill in 2013.
Alluded that Berglund is really good but still in competition with Thompson and McNulty.
Pegram has given defensive players 6-7 stingers throughout the fall in the scout team - good hard runner.
Only two guys won't be back for spring practice - all other injured players will be back and ready to go.
*George Perspective - McCarney is first coach since 70's to have 4 or more wins in each of his first two seasons.
*Guest Fact - McCarney has two more wins in his first two seasons than Fry did
Mac mentioned a "guy nobody really knows about yet" in Skip Caldwell. Said he came from Kentucky and is eligible for two years. Looks quick and shifty. Mac was high on him as someone who can contribute in an area of weakness for us.
I'm sure other guys have more tidbits so please fill in what I left out.
GO MEAN GREEN!
