Mackey's 2018 Recruiting Wrap Up
Feb 8, 2018, 11:50 AM

Yesterday was signing day. We only signed like 3 players, which is not a lot. Most years we sign 4 or more. Usually more, though. Here are my thoughts on all them players.
Trevor Lawrence He's from Georgia. He's very tall, which could help him see over the pockets. Player he's most like: Trevor Lawrence Mackey shock level at getting him: Shocked to extremely shocked
Xavier Thomas He's from South Carolina, which probably helped us in recruiting him. He plays defensive end. He does social media very good. Player he's the most like: Xavier Thomas Mackey shock level at getting him: Shocked to kind of shocked
KJ Henry He's from North Carolina. His dad coaches, but college, not high school. People say he's really good at playing defense. We'll see whether the staff uses him on that side of the ball or not. Player he's the most like: KJ Henry Mackey shock level at getting him: Very shocked to incredibly shocked
Jackson Cartman He's from Ohio, but came here instead of playing for the Ohio University Bobcats. That's good for us. Player he's the most like: Jackson Cartman Mackey shock level at getting him: Incredibly shocked to heart attack
Derion Kendrick He lives in Rock Hill, but signed with us anyway. I guess he hates money. Player he's the most like: Derion Kendrick Mackey shock level at getting him: Shocked to kind of shocked
Justyn Ross He's from Alabama, so it was a shock that he didn't play for the UAB Dragons. The fact that he can't spell Justin makes me wonder if he will qualify. Player he's the most like: Justyn Ross Mackey shock level at getting him: Very, very shocked
Kyler McMichael I'm not quite sure where he's from, but people say he will play CB, even though he plays on offense now. Player he's the most like: Kyler McMichael Mackey shock level at getting him: Not that shocked to shocked
Josh Belk He's from South Carolina, but came to us instead of playing for the Furman Paladins. That's good news for us. Player he's the most like: Josh Belk Mackey shock level at getting him: Kind of shocked to very shocked
Justin Mascoll He's from Georgia, and came to us instead of playing for the Geogia State Bulldogs. That's good news for us. Player he's the most like: Justin Mascoll Mackey shock level at getting him: Kind of shocked to shocked
Lyn-J Dixon He has kind of a cool name. People say he's going to be a running back, but I'm pretty sure we already have, like, 2 of those. So we'll see. Player he's the most like: Lyn-J Dixon Mackey shock level at getting him: Sort of shocked to shocked
Mike Jones Jr. He is from Florida, which is kind of neat. Some people call that "the sunshine state", and I'm not sure why. Player he's the most like: Mike Jones Jr. Mackey shock level at getting him: Very shocked
Darnell Jeffries This kid is very large. Even though we need some DBs, I don't think he could even play strong safety. We'll see how he adjusts. Player he's the most like: Darnell Jeffries Mackey shock level at getting him: Somewhat shocked
Jordan McFadden He lives pretty close to Clemson, which helped us in recruiting. Player he's the most like: Jordan McFadden Mackey shock level at getting him: Not shocked to just a little shocked
Jake Venables His dad coaches at Clemson. He's the linebacker coach, which could make things awkward. Player he's the most like: Jake Venables Mackey shock level at getting him: Not really shocked
BT Potter He's a kicker, which is kind of weird. Hopefully he can play safety, too. His name is also just two letters. Player he's the most like: BT Potter Mackey shock level at getting him: Really, very shocked
Braden Galloway He's from South Carolina, but chose Clemson over playing for the Presbyterian Blue Hoes. He's big like a small OL, but also like a huge WR. Not sure what position he'll play. Player he's the most like: Braden Galloway Mackey shock level at getting him: Sort of shocked
Mario Goodrich He's from Missouri, which is called "the show me state". I hope he "shows me" he can play safety. Player he's the most like: Mario Goodrich Mackey shock level at getting him: So shocked
Ben Batson His dad coaches strength, which is important. Player he's the most like: Tom Brady Mackey shock level at getting him: Not shocked at all
Drew Swinney His dad is the head cheerleader, which is pretty cool. Player he's the most like: Jerry Rice Mackey shock level at getting him: Not shocked whatsoever

Shocked you had a negative spin. Would have never believed you would have a negative take on something I did but don’t call me a liar.

Obviously you have a lot of time on your hands with nothing to do.

Welp, won’t have to listen to the 2/8/18 podcast of your show now.

Thanks, Mackey!!! That’ll save me a lotta time today.
But I will miss the Engineered Sleep ads. And the mindless New York Yankees drivel since spring training is about to start. Sigh.

I think the Presbyterian Blue Hoes are going to disagree with your assessment there...

I see a lot of early help on both sides of the ball with this class. But the two position I see being helped the most, it could be at QB and the kicking game!!! I absolutely believe we will hold it in the road the entire season especially if Potter becomes the starter at about mid season with valuable experience come playoff time!!!
