LB Colin McCarthy

I haven't seen or heard any reports on this guy yet.  He was the most important guy.  Did he make the trip?

Another satisfied customer, but still find it hard to think he'll leave the state.

Visit Date: Nov. 11, 2005 (KSU)

Scholarships offered: Over 20 including: Penn St., Ohio St., Nebraska, Miami, Indiana

Favorites: Ohio State, Nebraska, Georgia Tech and Miami

Rankings/Stars:

Rivals: #21/ :star :star :star

Bid Red Report: NR/ :star :star :star

Assessing the talent: What an absolute joy to watch. Rivals had 7 reels on him and very rarely do they show a lot of defense, but there were six. You want to talk about a kid who’s a ball hawk. A kid that wants to lay the boom and make every tackle, this is your guy. Just about every play was a highlight. He looks like he played at about 180 pounds last year and he may very well have, but it didn’t matter. He can chase, play the pass, blitz, play very strong run support, and hit. The one drawback right now is his weight, but with his frame I see another 15 maybe 20 pounds and a move to SS or other similar positions. His senior season he may never leave the field. He finished the season with 163 total tackles on defense including a dozen for a loss. He added four sacks, five interceptions, two caused fumbles, and one defensive touchdown. Throw in another 600 yards receiving on 30 grabs.

Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 30%

hello, mccarthy will visit miami this weekend, which means that he will have officially visited all 5 of his top 5 schools - gt 11/25 who he gave a 9, UN & oh st who he gave 10's to, & in 11/04 - yet, he will visit oh st again as an unofficial probably during xmas break - when he visits fam in oh

it is a mystery as to whom he will commit - since mia is closer to clearwater of course, & family can attend his home games; oh st is close to relatives, who could attend home games; UN has beck who is of course is from clearwater (so where ever he goes he will have a bond), & in & gt would give him earlier playing time

p.s. eric could you send me the pict of mccarthy throwing up the bones at the ksu game, please - thanks hootin'
