Mac Show Highlights and Skip Caldwell

*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.

Skip Caldwell is from Whitehouse, and I've heard very good things about him in practice. He will definitely be a contributor at WR next year along with Brelan, Darnell, Darius Terrell, and Carlos. Offensively, I'd like to see us pick up a JUCO guy to replace Fortenberry. I don't think any of the young linemen are ready to step in quite yet. Mac said we'd bring in a few JUCOs and I hope 2 of them are defensive linemen.

Kaydon Kirby has passed up a healthy Boone Feldt. Don't know how good quality we could get out of any available JUCO centers. Also, like was said, Y'Barbo is capable of playing center.

Somebody provide a correction if needed. Trying to list this from memory.

Coach said he is bringing in 20 recruits, plus the transfers/grayshirts

Expected HS recruiting breakdown as follows:

1 QB

4-5 OL

3 DL

0 RB

3 WR

4 DB

3 LB

2 ATH

The transfer/gray that will become eligible are:

Pegram - RB (2 yrs eligibility) xfer

Bergulund - QB (3 yrs eligibility) xfer

Terrell - WR (2 yrs eligibility) xfer

Caldwell - WR (2 yrs eligibility) xfer

Tucker - RB (HS) gray - still planning to enroll?

Hines - WR (HS) gray - still planning to enroll?

Caldwell shouldn't count towards our scholarships since Kansas Wesleyan is an NAIA college. I'm not sure, maybe we brought him in on scholarship or something.
