Was at this scrimmage today and have a few observations/opinions. Im not an X's & O's guy, just a fan. McD was a bigger and faster squad but Sallies pretty much held their own. Sallies looks somewhat smaller than last year but with more overall team speed. Remains to be seen how they compensate for Alleyne. McBride and his back up can both sling the ball and did so today. McBride had a 65yd TD bomb and a lot of yardage from the backs catching balls coming out of the backfield. The team looked fairly young. I didn't see LJ Smith in uniform (I don't think) and the VanKerkhoven LB transfer from Middletown was on crutches and the rumor is he won't be playing anytime soon. McD did a pretty good job shutting down Sallies inside the tackles. McD was ranked #5 last year in MD according to MaxPreps and I like the fact that GDD wanted to scrimmage a team like that. I've been following the Big S for decades now and the offense I saw today (yes, I know it's a scrimmage) was the most wide open I can remember. Sallies D was very aggressive going after the ball and literally ripped the ball away from the runner/receiver more than once. Rosters aren't published yet which made IDing players a challenge. McDonogh looks like a university, what a complex. Im sure Bib knows a ton about the program.
Sallies Scrimmage vs McDonogh (MD)
- Thread starter tophill29
- Start date
I know McDonogh has a few studs on their team. They have a receiver going to Penn State, a DE going to UNC, and also a Syracuse and Oregon commit. A very good program to scrimmage. And their athletic center is crazy. A nice big pool, a full wrestling room and weight lifting gym. Plus their gym is the size of 3 gyms in one.
