The coaches realized Mike was better suited at slot and moved him there his sophomore season and he was the #2 guy behind I think it was Bess.

Yep. Started out as wide receiver on the left side but was ineffective there. I think his size hurt him as a wide receiver.

Yup. At first the coaches were real high on him and thought he would be a Justin Colbert type WR. It just didn't work out. It's too bad he didn't get more pt at slot before his senior season. He probably would have developed into a much better slot. He still had a solid senior season, though.

I think Stan would be a huge get for us if he were to commit. He plays safety but can cover like a corner and hit more like a linebacker. He would give us great flexibility, and would be a nice answer for all those plays to the tight ends that seem to work so well against us.

I hope he knows just how good of a fit he would be for us. Because of his versatility, his presence would make a lot of the existing guys more effective.

+1
We already signed Aaron Brown and if we could land this dude, that would be sick. Our secondary would be set for the next two years w/ all the solid JC CB's we got commits from.

No surprise but looks like Mckay is going to commit to UCLA

Also looks like Polys coach told an ESPN reporter that Stan did commit to UCLA

Just talked to a Poly coach and he said Tepa is at Oregon. He also said Stan McKay just committed to UCLA so I'm trying to confirm. They must have scrapped the grey shirt idea.

Interesting that link mentions sighting of Kahuku safety & also UH prospect Aulola Tonga on-campus at UCLA this weekend for his recruiting trip. Let's hope that Aulola doesn't commit to UCLA after this weekend.

Although Aulola was originally supposed to visit UH next weekend, it looks like the U-Dub Huskies are now scheduled for next weekend instead. Hmmm...

UCLA must really be hurting if they are still recruiting at thisstage in the game and if they are cometing for us for the same athletes.

Normally a program like UCLA would either be done except for 2 or 3 highly sought after recruits.

It lloks like they have a lot to give or they have guys on hold as they wait for others to make a decision.

I'm guessing that the departure of former defensive coordinator (and lead recruiter for So Cal area)...along with real tough academic entrance requirements...probably contributing to late recruiting by UCLA.

From my own observations at a couple of Kahuku games as well as those of my Long Beach friends who regularly attend Poly games, Tonga and McKay are different types of safeties.

Tonga pretty much played free safety for Kahuku all last season, but could possibly eventually transition to strong safety or even outside linebacker. While Tonga got his share of picks, JMHO that he's more of a big hitter.

Meanwhile McKay played strong safety, but also lots of nickel and even corner for LB Poly all last season. My friends tell me that McKay is more of ball hawk and less of a hitter.

The staff got a late start on the 2009 class because they had to keep the 2008 class intact after Dorrell was fired.

It was expected that Walker would take a head coaching position this offseason, so when he took the NMSU job it was not a surprise and I'm sure the staff planned accordingly. What was surprising to me was the caliber of job being offered to Walker (NMSU, SDSU, Utah State).

Walker did not get an offer from SDSU. He came in second to Ball State's former coach.

Is UCLA's offer to McKay to grayshirt still there or did UCLA pull it so McKay can play as a true fresh?
