'06 FL OLB/TE Colin McCarthy (Miami Signee)

[dingyibvs]

I'd be surprised if McCarthy doesn't end up a Buckeye, everything I've been hearing about him as been OSU bound. The only school that could've posed a challenge was UF, and Meyer offered waaaayy too late. He may just be getting a lil cold feet about getting so far away from home, but he'll most likely come around.

McCarthy has eliminated UCF and says his final two schools are Ohio State and Miami(FL).

Most feel he is a Buckeye lean at the moment....

Hes definantly a Buckeye, he speaks very highly of all of our coaches, and says that there is a definant connection that he has with us and that Miami doesnt offer.

From FlaVarsity.com...more of the same except Colins says that his top 4 is Ohio State, Miami, USF, and Georgia Tech and they are all equal.

Despite this article, which could have been from quotes taken a week or two ago, it is still pretty apparent that he is down to OSU and Miami...

He's been a OSU lean ever since PSU cancelled his official visit. He would have committed to PSU during the game with us. This kid is a bigggggg time player IMO.

What's with Cumberland and why did PSU cancel his visit? (McCarthy)

 

[The Man]

IIRC, PSU cancelled all visits OSU weekend because PSU staff wanted to concentrate on the game and the recruits wouldn't get the attention they should. Cumberland will be a grade casualty and not part of this class. Back to McCarthy.

Report from the Cali-Florida Bowl had this to say about Colin...

"At linebacker, A.J. Jones continues to shine during the third day of practice. Along side him in the middle is Colin McCarthy, who has looked like a very well-schooled defender out there reading plays well and performing smart on the gap reads."

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

I would hope in the next two weeks we will hear an announcement from McCarthy. I still like our chances.

Just sounds like a Bucks LB

McCarthy in the middle?

McCarthy in the middle?

I dunno, but a year or two for him in the weightroom and training he should have the size. He is already 6'3'' and has that body that looks like he could put on the weight.

I just watched his videos from sunshinepreps and man does he read well and he fills nicely.

If he could man the middle and have Homan and Moeller on the outside that would be one real speedy, tough, smart group of Lb's.

 

[BGriffBuckeye]

Just kind of caught me off guard when the article stated he was playing the MIKE position. But, if he can play then let him.. I guess.
