Mccloud plans to redshirt

[DerekDohrman]

Good move for next season, assuming McCloud doesn't enter the portal. However, we're SUPER thin at LB now (Shaq, Mike, Sam).

i would think he would end up playing if we lost one or both of the seniors to serious injuries.

When is Joyner back?

I like the thought that he could play in the bowl game or (at the risk of being flayed alive on this board) should we squeak into the ACCCHGM and believe we have a shot, that would be a good time to play the McCloud card.

They confirmed back for VT? conditioning could an issue with nesta because you can't really run or condition with a boot

If we make a bowl game........... wow

 

[jackbenimble71]

bowl game...lol.....I am really starting to get excited about 2024

MLB for Zach. He lacks in pass coverage so no OLB please...but can play the Mike with his size.

Even in the boot he’s better than any other DL on the team. Didn’t I read that on here somewhere?

Overall, if you look at the total points, our defense has been good. Especially if you factor in the fieldl position at times. They are really not the problem.

McCloud coming back next season can only help us with experience.

Smart move on his part. He can further his Education. And who knows, maybe it will improve his chances of playing in the NFL.

A rarity these days. Usually we see players leaving early thinking they are better than they are. Here’s a guy that’s doing just the opposite, to hopefully get better than he is.

Happy for Zach. He'll have a better year than both of our current senior LBs.

What makes me the angriest and saddest part of that tweet is a “player” has to tell the “coaches” that hey I’m not playing and I’d like to up my draft status and more importantly I’d like UM to have an upperclassman LB on a team that’s already thin and young at LB next year. So basically McLeod is smarting then our own ******* JV coaches! Smfh it’s over dude,******* over! Just burn it down UM, we all know that’s what you want. Just get it over with instead of try to appease us by this slow burn youve been doing since Donna got here with these pop warner coaching hires! Atleast that would give us fans a chance to move on and save our sanity. Fvck you UM, Fvck you manny, Fvck you James, Fvck you BOT, and Fvck you any fan that supports this **** anymore. Just put us out of our ******* misery already!

Lmao relax guy. He probably wasnt open to the idea before now

Bad genetics with his body composition/fat distribution but football isn’t played on the beach or in a bodybuilding competition. All that matters is on the football field he’s a beast!

And Manny completely rejected the idea when it was posed to him last week. Seems like he's kind of making it up as he goes along...

Maybe he didn’t want to publicly say anything until he was sure. Could have become an embarrassing situation for Zach.

Good for him for being Selfless. Much respect! A lot of kids would have just transferred.

Selfless and intelligent regarding his best interest as well.

 

[A1cane]

I want to see him at inside backer. That’s his best position imo and he can really strike

Mcclouds highschool film screamed inside backer he struggles in zone coverage

Yep. I think Daryl Jones is the last guy I can remember to do this.
