I know it’s one practiSe. But let’s not like we didn’t have Spring Ball & summer workouts. Manny also has a history of starting upperclassman. Just passing the time

I didn’t see the option of seeing what he can do and also maybe used to motivate or send a message to the younger players that no space is safe.

True. Could have put a sending a message option but I’d hope we don’t have to motivate 17 days from Bama

I'm not going to dismiss anything with McCloud.

A plus individual who gives 100 percent in everything he does.

It didn't work out at LB'er, but I'm not sure I would bet against him at DE.

Similar sentiments. Just fishing to see if there is any coaches talk (or players) on how he has looked
 
McCloud the person: I love
McCloud the LB: liability
McCloud the DE: unknown. This could very well be his position.

In either case, I wish him nothing but the best. He could’ve been real sour about how the scheme changed & took him off the field. He’s handled everything w/ great maturity. Now, if it shows he’s a liability at DE, then I will respect him for being a Cane, but can’t tolerate him being on the field majority of the snaps if it’s hurting the team.
 
He's gotten much bigger. If he also broke a mental sweat this summer then we can start thinking about considering the idea of pondering the thought of conceptualizing the possibility of him maybe, perhaps contributing at DE this season.

1 practice but why are so many allergic to the possibility that dude is massive, mature and thriving in a position he's good at? Why can't it be a nice surprise that he's that good in this spot that he's claimed the 1 spot?

cause if he just started playing DE a few months ago and is already our starter than we are truly gonna suck at that spot and the people behind him stink, period. We better hope he has a good season as a backup but nothing else. If 2-3 years in the young guys can't beat him out then who the **** are we recruitng.
 
Fall camp = Kook-Aid time. Any reasonable person knows we should have brought in a second portal DE and a portal MLB. If McCloud defies the odds and becomes a All ACC DE, I'll celebrate along with everyone. But color me skeptical. And besides, you hope for the best but plan for the worst. We have no fallback if he's mediocre.

And don't start on the numbers. We are locked and loaded on O, ACCCG level talent, and our DTs and DBs are ready to go. But we have two glaring balk holes at one DE spot (Harvey and Cam Williams, WTF?) and MLB that are so massive they create their own centrifugal force that could crush the entire team's aspirations.
