I will say he's obviously high on these guys, but he has been pretty dang spot on with who he thinks will make an impact as freshman.
Yeah he's definitely in the know but also a sunshine pumper. And I'm not even saying he won't contribute next year. He could be a guy they play in passing situations. But McDonald has been an absolute stud this year and took a couple years to get to this point.
McDonald contributed even his redshirt year. So if the opportunity is there it's possible.
I guess I look at this a little different. We aren't going to replace McDonald, Rose, Kolar or Purdy. But we will have individual players step in a different way from our current studs or we will see the position group en masse step up.
On the DL bringing back Lee & Singleton should be a solid start in the middle. Zach Petersen coming back would be huge, he has a great motor. IMO he could significantly increase his draft stock coming back for 2022. The staff has also recruited a number of DL in the last 2 classes that hopefully a couple will be ready to step up- Wilson, Suttle, Onyedim, Brown, Peterson and Gray.
Also we could see the LB position group be more active in rushing the QB.
Jayden Gray is for sure one to keep an eye on next season. He had plenty of offers and seems like that natural speed end. I watched a little of Suttle last week, he seems way to upright playing right now, was like standing straight up. Just a limited glimpse so not a huge concern.
I think Blake Peterson could still be really legit, he's a massive man. Then Johnny Wilson to me is a total wildcard, lots of offers, we will see if he can contribute next year. The interior is just rock solid with Lee and Singleton and Howard Brown.
When you post hot takes 24/7 nobody takes you seriously. Love the work but easy on these statements.
Checked my calendar but didn't see it was **** on @cyclone4L day.
Apparently disagreeing is all it takes to **** on someone?
Because that statement “no drop off from WillMcD” is absolutely ludicrous.
Would it be a drop off if the Cyclones as a team have more QB sacks next year vs. this year?
Last I looked FB is a team sport. So one single player might not exceed McDonald's sack total, but the defense could be better.
I’m not shitting on the guy, I enjoy his content. But when I read this kind of take it makes me value his opinion less.
That would be as dumb as telling people that Kwame Brown and Kobe Bryant scored 84 points together in a game, so obviously the Lakers were just as good with him as they were with Shaquille O’Neal.
Your argument is a non-starter. AKA dummies logic.
Only a dummy would think having 2 great scorers means a great team. Using your argument the Houston Rockets with Hardin & Westbrook were one of the greatest teams ever.
Football is a team sport. Will McDonald will be a big loss, but we have enough returning talent on defense to be as good or better in 2022.
