It’s been 11 seasons since a Clemson receiver failed to log at least 50 catches (1998, Brian Wofford had 35). Gotta wonder whether the Tigers will have any receiver get there next year. If you’d have asked me who their “No. 1” guy in 2010 would be before this past year, I wouldn’t have paused. [...]
My goal next week is to produce a to-do wish list for Clemson’s offseason. And the more I’ve loosely brainstormed some ideas, the more one item has come front and center: Show offensive coordinator Billy Napier some love. That can obviously come in various forms – none more salient than a raise, of course. With [...]
Few quick thoughts from Sunday night’s Music City Bowl, beyond the fact Clemson trumped my prediction. Don’t know how much Clemson will really gain by the victory other than the chance to feel good about the season – which, actually, is pretty substantial. But beating Kentucky was so important in the sense that the coaches [...]
Fellow recruitniks out there – quick, name the most productive college player from Richland Northeast’s vaunted cast of defensive prospects from 3-4 years ago? Mark Barnes? I thought he’d be a star, but I think I’m correct in saying a recurring shoulder injury hindered him to the point he’s slated to enroll at Florida A&M [...]
If you’re sick of reading the media Hallmark cards to C.J. Spiller, I’d advise clicking on that left arrow button at the top, left corner of your screen right now. Actually, this has nothing really to do with Spiller the player, just Spiller the person. Regardless of whether you think it was the right decision [...]
Had planned to roll out some recruiting and Shrine Bowl-related thoughts today, then defensive coordinator Kevin Steele had to go and wax philosophical with a few of us reporters Thursday afternoon. Considering it’s the first time Steele has spoken since the ACC championship defeat, interest in that would trump my evaluation of perhaps the weakest [...]
The applause for RB C.J. Spiller figures to be boisterous today, the line for autographs afterward lengthy. Only the venue will be Littlejohn Coliseum, not Memorial Stadium. And folks will probably be asking for their commencement program to be signed, not a football. Spiller is one of six Clemson football players given practice off today [...]
A quick update on the near futures of the Clemson underclassmen eligible for the NFL Draft – namely junior safety DeAndre McDaniel. McDaniel told me Tuesday he is “leaning” toward returning if he receives a second-round projection from the NFL’s underclassmen advisory committee. “A first round grade, it would probably be crazy for me not [...]
1. Ah, ‘tis the season for mock NFL drafts to start surfacing now that the rough order of the draft is taking shape. Because they’ll be in Nashville prepping for the Dec. 27 Music City Bowl, C.J. Spiller and his teammates are scheduled to spend Christmas night at LP Field watching the Tennessee Titans play [...]
After the Coastal Carolina game, wrote a follow column suggesting the question wasn’t if Willy Korn would transfer, but when. After the semester, to get a jump on learning the offense of the system in which he would presumably start? Or after the spring semester, which would allow him to graduate with a communications studies [...]
