Robertson

Robertson is going to be one hell of an OG. I see him playing on Sundays here in a couple years.

This is funny to me because our first game this year falls on a Sunday.

Half of Clemson's class signs aid papers

Clemson has the No. 3-ranked recruiting class for 2015, and more than half of its commitments, including a five-star lineman, signed financial-aid agreements with the Tigers on Friday, six months before signing day.

Five-star offensive tackle Mitch Hyatt (Suwanee, Georgia/North Gwinnett) headlines a group of 13 commitments in Clemson’s 2015 class, which has 21 total pledges, that signed financial-aid agreements with the school on the first day prospects entering their senior year are allowed. All 13 are expected to enroll at Clemson in January.

"We're signing 13 guys to financial aid before we have even played a game,” Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said Friday. “We're excited to have them join the Clemson family."

The NCAA clarified a rule last year that allows for senior recruits planning to enroll in the midyear to sign financial-aid agreements with schools beginning Aug. 1, the same day schools can officially give a recruit a written offer. The financial-aid agreements do not bind the player to the school, but the school is locked into the player unless he is no longer eligible for midyear enrollment. For the recruits, it guarantees their scholarship in Clemson’s 2015 class.

I haven't counted but Hubbs said we have nine seniors in the two deep. Think about that.

Offense:
Worley
Lane
Gilliam
Downs (though idk if he's in there. maybe a slash)

Defense:
J. Williams
AJ Johnson
Coleman

Specialists:
Darr

That's 8. Maybe Riyahd or I'm missing on something.

Another big year for talent

Randolph?

Junior

Junior

Really? I guess he had a RS year in there? Thought this was his 4th year playing.

He redshirted after a season-ending injury iirc

I thought you couldn't redshirt if you played though. So he can come back with Maggitt?

But I mean... I'm not really worried about any of those shoes being filled, maybe outside of AJ.

This is a 10 minute highlight of yesterday's practice. I haven't seen it linked.

As others have said, outside AJ, J Williams, and Lane it's not that bad

I agree. I think fingers was more commenting on the low number in the 2014 two deep.

Butch's move to RS Jackson and Curt is brilliance

 

[005]

Yes sir. We'll return 18/22 starters, depending on how we count Coleman at nickel

I stand corrected then, good to know. I'd expect Maggitt and Randolph to go early if projected high though. Which would be fine by me, because it means we had an awesome year.

True. But don't say horrible thoughts like that.

Ftr, I think curt is a candidate to jet, not Randolph.

Ah, yes, I realize that now.

And yes, that's kind of everything in a nutshell, innit?

If you count the punter and kicker, that means there are 48 possible spots in the 2 deep (22 spots on offense, 22 on defense, and 4 for the kicker and punter). Seniors only filling 9 of the 48 is crazy low IMO.

It absolutely is.

But I think the entire board agrees that we'll take talent over seniority every day and twice on Saturday.

Truth.

A little more seniority in the mix would be nice, though. It is what it is. Time for the young fellas to stand up and man up.
