I think you are wrong on this @Big_Mick_McCarthy. I expect him to have a decent inter county career.
He is a young chap playing at a low level all his life, where he was no doubt lording it. Without running down the St. Pats lads I doubt he got the best coaching coming up. He has also been focused mainly on football.
The things he has you can’t coach, strength, height, positional sense, and an ability to win ball in the air.
Brian Begley completely transformed himself as a hurler much later in his career after giving up the football.
