Nate Clouse presented. Much information on the recruits that you wouldn't otherwise hear anywhere else. Clouse said he fully expects Tanner Lee to be the starting QB next season and Lee could very well be "one and done" and off to the NFL for 2018. That stud DB recruit (Blades) is very good and will see playing time next year. Just a few nuggets to chew on. Good time last night. I left at 10 o'clock and the place still had a couple dozen people hanging out rappin' with Nate.
A few things from last night that popped out at me.
*Clouse made a joke that this was the first time NFL coaches have been in the building to see the scout team!
*He was pressed by the audience and said he'll be surprised if Lee does not start. Riley and Langs want arm talent first and foremost. If I guy can run, that even better, but arm talent first. We have three guys that can really sling it.
*A few of the receivers are disappointed they didn't get a year to play with Lee.
*Stanley Morgan is one of the real leaders in the locker room.
*Clouse suggested TA not being a captain was very telling. Didn't go into a lot of detail, but even last year, there were guys that were still holdovers to the past and not fully on board. Lockeroom problems?
*Riley had to be very calculated in his depth chart with evidence from film to make his points. Apparently in the past it was more of a seniority thing than who rightly deserved to be at the top of each position group.
*Clouse suggested we could see 7, maybe 8 lineman play. It was hard to keep shirts on some guys, but it will pay off.
*Guys to watch for the future that will be special include Jaimes, Blades, Sichterman, Lindsey, and Roberts to name a few. Miles kid is gonna be special, another Janovich type, smart, tough, high football IQ.
MAG, can the Ghost work on its menu? Atrocious. Maybe cater some stuff in.
