DEL.ICIO.USFirst offer for Calhoun DT
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Calhoun defensive tackle Eric McDaniel’s first scholarship offer is from an ACC program.
“Eric got his first offer last week, and it came from N.C. State,” Calhoun coach Hal Lamb said Wednesday evening. “And I feel there are three others - Georgia Tech, Louisville and UAB - that are close to offering.”
Spring practice at Calhoun concluded on Tuesday. McDaniel’s schedule allowed him to participate on a limited basis.
“Eric didn’t practice until the two last two days because he runs track,” Lamb said. “But those two days, we couldn’t block him.
“I think he’s really matured and this recruiting stuff has opened his eyes. He’s turned it up a notch in the classroom and on the field. I really expect him to have a big year.”
Coaches from Auburn, Louisville and Tech have stopped by Calhoun recently to get a glimpse of the 6-foot-2, 297-pound Calhoun.

Maybe I’m not interpreting this correctly, but this 297# kid DT’s coach did say “he runs track” didn’t he? Maybe he meant to say that Calhoun was on the track team, as in a shot-putter or maybe a discus guy, where you aren’t surprised to see somebody that big participating, but to think about the implications of him RUNNING track conjures up the image of a Refrigerator Perry / Iron-Head Heyward hybrid @ DT that is almost unbelievable.

When E Mc squared is not running the 100 yard dash he is the sawdust pit for the pole vaulters.

Don’t see UGA listed … no interest if there is no interest. Stop reporting on “filler” articles. You should only report the recruits UGA is interested in! Stop wasting my time.
