New Pat Signal - Grant Carrigan - TE
- Thread starter King Of All Message Boards
- Start date
i strongly doubt its warren, he hasn't even cut his list down yet.
I was wrong. I knew Carrigan's dad Rich. He played on the basketball team, and then was a bouncer at Froggy's. Good guy. I recall one day when he threw a guy down the stairs at Froggy's.
to soon for warren, he's got some thinking to do, really good offer sheet, lots of competition.
This Carrigan kid is 6'7 or 6'8 depending on who you believe. Either way, big target
Can anyone drop a scouting report on the young man? I don't really know much about him but 6'7 230 is a great base for a TE.
Here's some highlights of Carrigan. Played for a school that is near where I grew up in. Pretty good athlete and knows how to use his size to his advantage.
It'll be interesting to see how he does this year, though. Pine Richland will be a big step up from the level of competition in the Ohio Valley. Weir High went up against some pretty small schools, as evidence in the video. Went up against maybe 2 or 3 D1 athletes the whole year at most.
Now wouldn't that be nice......we'll just have to stay tuned!! HTP/Forever!!!
Nice! Looks to have some quicks on the film. Did not take him long to commit... we just offered last week.
TE is a need position. Now we take one more... either Reeves or the other local kid, and we are set there. I think Reeves would flourish in this system, but I would be happy with either kid to be honest.

It's funny because both of the tight ends we've been going after (Reeves and Carrigan), are from the same area, the Ohio Valley.
From Oregon Duck news over the summer:
At 6-7, 240 pounds, Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman tight end Grant Carrigan has all kinds of upside but he's not a proven commodity and he's awaiting his first offer. He could grow into offensive tackle or continue to play tight end in a more pro-style type of system. Carrigan played behind Notre Dame signee Alize Jones as a sophomore at Bishop Gorman and will be looking to break out as a junior. Stanford, Michigan and Pittsburgh are already recruiting Carrigan despite limited game film.

He is slated to bePhil Jurkovic's biggest target this year. Perhaps he can sway Phil away from ND.

He's not exactly a speed demon but after watching the video, I can see some nice potential. Regardless of the level of competition, the kid stays on his blocks and has a knack for putting himself in the right position most of the time. Honestly, 250 isn't really that big these days and the fact that he was completely blowing people away like they are on rollerskates at that weight is nothing to scoff at.
He also looks like he has some pretty soft hands and good ball skills.

Welcome to PITT Mr. Carrigan! I remember his papa playing our BB team. Hope he is getting well!
5.18 is deadly slow. My guess is they have something other than TE in mind for this young man.
We need tight ends but I could see narduzzi drooling over the prospects of a 6'7 defensive end

Not sure when/where those 247 ratings were from, but now he is a 3 star there (rated an 84 and 996 in the country and #50 at his position) and he doesn't have a composite.From Oregon Duck news over the summer:

Seems to be destined for OT or strictly a blocking TE based on that film. Very lumbering, but we need TEs and maybe he can be a much better fit at OT. Will be interesting to see if they still take 2 more TEs. Will be interesting to see how he does this year at Pine-Richland. Basically didn't play as a sophomore and the competition he played last year (as you can see on film) was pretty awful.

EDIT: Looks like that original information was from the summer before his JR year, not this summer.

Good pickup, was a 4 star with 247.
He looks more like a Matt Spaeth type TE to me. The kid is in high school and is long, he will pack on the muscle and weight in college. I can see him as a big mauler and short yardage catcher using that big frame to shield off defenders. Man... 6 foot 7 inch TE, sounds good.

Huh? not sure what you mean. Yeah, I am sure he isnt a 5 star. 247 had him at 4 star. He is now 3 due to lack of plays. He has been getting recruited by Florida, Notre Dame and UCLA as well. I dont think Matt Spaeth is Kellen Winslow either. I like the commit. If you dont, well... I dont think anyone would care.
I'm getting on from his position coach at PR. I'll see what he says. He confirmed he's a high D1 player.
He is a 3 star because of his play. The "4 star" was an initial rating that was after his sophomore year when he basically hadn't played at all.
He is getting recruited by those schools? I think we sure are stretching that word here. This is another situation where I just don't understand why people won't be honest about things. This is a commit who is completely a project where we hope our coaches see something other people aren't seeing and we got him early. Some of those are fine. A lot of them and there is cause for concern. Especially if it is unbalanced offense-defense.
The next time you post anything remotely positive will be the first time. Your schtick is old and stale.
You are such an insufferably negative a$$hat. Your arrogance is off the charts and for no apparent good reason.
I trust our staff over a know nothing psuedo-expert who puts down pretty much everybody.
Well... I would read his coaches comments then. He was being recruited by those schools. Project???? Then lets be honest... every freaking recruit is a project. For every Tyler Boyd we have a Jack Lippert.... Every Aaron Donald a Shyne Hale or Chris Burns... I mean you can say a recruit is a slam dunk great player, but none are. Conversely you can complain about a Mike Shanahan (who was 37 in the state) or JP Holtz who was 26th in the state... hey he turned out to do OK.
I think you need to be honest about your lack of optimism at anything. The dude just committed to Pitt... he is SMART... we had 3 TEs vying for 2 spots and he said I want one of them and committed. because one service list a 40 time for him that is slow you will vilify the recruit?
Charles Reeves 40 time is 4.67.. would be a great compliment. Clark's was 4.63
Reeves has 29 offers last time I checked, including Alabama. There is something a lot of coaches like, the interest is not accidental.
I'm not negative. I'm honest. Do you want to talk about how coveted and talented Paris Ford is?
You could actually look at his recruiting and interest. You could also watch his film.
I'm optimistic about a lot of things. I expect the team to win 8+ games and should win the division and go to ACC championship. I think we have some fantastic young players and recruits and a HC who can be very successful. I am just not going to be a blind homer on everything.
Well, we did look at his recruiting and interest... I already explained that.
Anyways, to complain the day of a commit is tasteless and truthfully low class. If that is who you wanna be, then great for you.
The tape looks good actually. Plus he killed it at Pitt's camp, which is why Narduzzi offered the ship.
By the way... get ready to hate Tyler Sear as well. 2 star recruit that will most likely come to Pitt. I love as much as the next guy saying wow we are top 30 recruiting class. But I just much rather love us winning games. I know there is a correlation, but we cant have all 5 or 4 star guys... that winning comes from picking the right 2 and low 3 star guys.
