Not bad offers, Remember Marshall has Doc Holiday so they will be op the up. He needs to put on a few pounds but 6'6 running a 4.7 is very good for a TE. a significant position of need. ith MacLain coming in who seems to me like more of a blocking TE, I'd prefer a stud athlete who can really stretch the field.

Most would agree that we need 2 TE's next signing class. He should be one of them, IMO

[yont sum iss?]

I would be surprised if Maclain doesn't end up at tackle.

[1orangews6]

He need to put on some weight to be TE. He would be like a big WR at his current size but I am sure the kid will put on some more weight during his SR year..

[BigOrangeVol29]

Scout doesn't even have the young man listed on it's prospect list, but I thought hey, a local kid that could make it at D1 with about 40 or 50 lbs of weight. He's not showing any offers yet, but I think he could be a sleeper, hopefully Dooley pays him some attention.

[VOLtownUSA]

hmm.... seems the good ol' Volunteer state is going to have some pretty decent talent next year.

Saw Brendan and his folks at church yesterday and was hoping to catch them on the way out but got side-tracked. I've posted this somewhere on another thread but his mom and dad are friends of ours and he has several offers at this point including Tennesse and supposedly had decided on Duke because of the academics (his mom is a lawyer) but with his team-mate Mack Crowder (Mack's dad is an old team-mate of mine. Got an e-mail from him this morning) recently getting an offer from Tennessee, I can say our chances for a two-fer are better than ever. I didn't go to any of their games last year even though they were ranked #1 in the state but They say he's fast and I was told he has an incredible vertical. I posted elsewhere that his grandfather played in the NBA but it was an uncle.

Wow great news. Thanks for the update.

[smokey90]

I would like to see him and Crowder play for UT.

Luke Stocker part II...he even looks like him...

We need to lock him and his teammate up...two legit D-1 players at positions of need right in our backyard...getting them would be huge and losing them would be huge

Looks good. He'll be able to put some meat on his bones, so things will work out with him for whichever program gets him. I hope its UT.
