Hopefully McGaha will have a great year. He's fun to watch, when he gets a ball thrown his way.

i miss the old days when arizona state had archuleta and heap. Btw do you think archuleta will be the last white db ever taken in the first round? if i am not mistaken there hasnt been a white db taken in the first round since 2001?

 

[Colonel_Reb]

green fire317, I don't think Adam will be the last white DB taken in the first round because I believe things will change. Yes it will take a while, but I believe that it will happen again.

Zbikowski was expected to be a first round pick until his production fell of in his last year.

I liked when they had Jake Plummer, Keith Poole and Pat Tillman r.i.p. How exactly does one get shot close range 3 times in the head by friendly fire?

2 arizona state white linebackers that became good at the safety position in the pros. It would have been nice to see Tillman play a little longer.

Thanks Colonel_Reb, Jack Lambert and anyone else who is doing these team previews for the hard work. Its one of my favorite parts about this site and I have been looking forward to it.

You are very welcome, dwid! It is fun to do this research. Jack has been a great help, as has everyone else who has chipped in or will soon.

 

[Jack Lambert]

You are welcome, dwid. As Reb said, it is fun to do the research, and I enjoy it.

@ Reb - Thank you!


Also thanks to everyone has been involved in the research.

Anyone have any info on Shane McMullen?

Looks like he is projected to be a safety but was a great RB in HS.

The writers have already begun to build Mcgaha up as the next "Wes Welker" lol seriously? How do these writers have jobs based on they do little to none research in their articles. Here's Draftdaddy's take!



Closer look at Arizona State's prolific senior wide receiver Chris McGaha.
DD.comment: While the comparison to Wes Welker might seem inevitable to some, we know at least one pro scout has compared McGaha to ex-N.F.L. star Cris Carter. We like that comparison much better -- similar size, speed and athletic skills during their <A style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 2px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: -2px; COLOR: #006600; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-DECORATION: none; http: //s.adbrite.com/mb/s/green-double-underline-006600.gif repeat-x 50% bottom" id=AdBriteInlineAd_college name=AdBriteInlineAd_college target=_top display="inline" keyword="college">college</A> careers. Also, both were blessed with freakishly big and strong hands -- a great trait for a receiver. McGaha can reportedly hold 10 baseballs at once -- 5 in each hand!

Stephen Threet former Georgia Tech and Michigan QB is now with his third team, the Sun Devils. Hopefully things work out for him. He's had some real bad luck with the schools he chooses changing thier offensive philosphies away from a pro style offense. http://collegefootball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1061288
