Thanks. I figured after I posted that the OL from GA was Sandifer.

First I've heard about Garrett Thomas though. Can't help but wonder what that means in regards to our other OT prospects, and why no offer from LSU or Alabama?

This is shaping up to be our year for the beefy guys.

The next recruit with a set commitment date we are in it with is Key right? So far I'm excited about this class's potential. I do need to see some offensive tackles and rb's come our way. Makes me sick seeing elite tackles commit to that team from the upstate and not us. Overall though our class is gonna be nasty!

Anything on Tim Irvin or nyheim Hines?

Key should be the next, but don't pop the bottles until he enrolls.

The taters haven't recruited well on OL or DL for years, they put a big focus on OL this year and got some great players. However, they have a history of poorly developing those guys, so I wouldn't think much on it. We'll beat them b/c our coaches are better.

Me too. I wish we could get guys like that, particularly at OT.

Hopefully we get one in Clark.

CockyLifer · 06-02-2014, 10:56 PM

We could get any 1 star player and win it all!

Cockypantherfan · 06-02-2014, 10:59 PM

Isn't Key announcing tomorrow?

It's Irvin Charles...we are in it with him.
Hines is probably a tater.

He is announcing on the 10th, unless things have changed in the past 48 hours.

GCC says we lead with AJ Turner RB Clifton, Va.

Other RB we have a shot with Jordan Scarlett, Johnny Fraiser and Bradrick Shaw.

Sometimes good prospects commit to a thin cupboard. Clemson brought in 4 OL in the last 2 years. How many good HS linemen does it take to get one good SEC lineman? We should get several this year based on our OL likely sending a few on despite having 14 scholarship OL on board. Elliot was almost giddy this spring at the prospect of having 10 guys he considers likely ready to play.

greatwhitecock · 06-03-2014, 02:07 AM

You're right. I can't remember the last time if ever our o line had a legit two deep. I think a lot of the reason we can take a lower rated player and that player perform better than a higher rated player that goes to clem5on has more to do with the competition game in and game out. Probably more so than the difference in the coaches. That said I do believe for the most part our coaching staff is better than theirs. Feels good too.

When you compete with top notch talent every day in practice, it makes you a better player. Plus our coaches to a very good job at evaluating talent.

Thx... I for some reason thought it was later in the month... I don't really know what I was thinking lol.

Ace Dilcock · 06-03-2014, 12:42 PM

Clemson is putting some effort into the OL this year but it will take at least two years until you see an upgrade, probably when the new recruits are RS Sophs. Based on their track record, they will start ignoring the OL again after this year, which is crazy. You need to bring in talent every year because you need ten experienced guys all of the time, plus more in development, Also, a high percentage of OL do not pan out. A lot of Clemson people blame their poor line play in recent years on J. K. Jay not being able to play, like one more OL would have made that big of a difference.

Don't forget that we already have an OT committed in the Juco kid - he will need to learn the system but should be physically ready when he steps on campus, which is a big plus.
