‘23 NC EDGE Rico Walker (Maryland commit)

[Volfan1000]

Tennessee can always try to get Walker as a transfer if Mack Brown decides to retire during Walker's career.

“Oh sure I could go to Harvard Med but you know what guys I feel I really fit in with those guys down at San Juan Medical college.”

~10 mins of googling showed me that Tim Cross has produced 56 NFL players at his time in college. Garner has produced 33 draft picks. I’m sure Garner has had his share of UDFAs sniff the league, so this is likely a pretty comparable number. Considering Tim Cross has been doing it at places such as San Juan Medical College, it’s even more impressive the pedigree he has as a d-line coach that puts guys in the league.

Part of those stats were with him as strength and conditioning coach which is for the whole team. It’s a BS stat but yeah it looks great.

Yeah, two whole years. Looks like we give Rodney Garner credit for Clifton being drafted in 2000, even though he was OT coach in 97. Seems like this all evens out a bit, no?

The guy had two multi year runs as S&C coach at Texas. It would seem like UNC would just put how many Dlinemen he put into the league but they don’t they put up some bs stat that includes every Texas player drafted for a period. I’m not trying to be an ass or anything on this; just trying to be direct there is no comparison between the UNC guy and Garner.

JJ Hail-Mary?

Hopefully we’ll be paying attention to this kid again soon

Do you have any idea how high on our board he really is? If he is a priority, we need to get our BB coach to call in some markers over there.

Rico, think long and hard about whether or not you want to spend 4-years playing on a defense that gives up 61-points to Appalachian State.

Pathetic, I’d be embarrassed

To be fair, they still won. Still 2-0. We'll see how they do the rest of the year.

They were lucky. App missed a wide open 2 pt conversion with 30secs left that might have won it.

Isn’t Chizik their DC right now? App State should have won that game. Got over 650 yards total offense

Did anyone else think Mack looked like he'd swallowed a watermelon whole? I don't remember him looking like that.

He's definitely been dedicated to the cheeseburger diet.

First hand witness. Been to two games. Stop chasing stars. They are playing him at MLB/OLB. Not standing out like a game changer should. Maybe hand in the dirt ears back…some difference. Not sold. Check back later.

Yes he is.

 

[VolSummitt44]

Yes he is.

I thought he resigned a year or two ago?

He did to spend more time with family after two years of “not seeing them”. Only to return to be the assistant HC of the defense.

I hadn't heard he was back coaching. I've missed some things apparently lol.

 

[P810sDaMan18]

So the fired the last DC to go back to Chizik? All this hype around Mack returning and they go 6-7 last year, losing to USCjr in the Mayo Bowl. Getting all the athletes and really not doing much with them. Not impressed at all. Mack and the coaching staff have been underwhelming for sure.
