He'll still get suspended a game just because he's the team leader. Mincy getting more.
Malzahn been real lowkey about Mincy, who we probably need more than Marshall for at least KSU (if they get a QB)

honestly for like the first three weeks, it's okay for them to be suspended, past that is risky

MariGOATa playing with Oregon fans hearts..






Whats crazy, I could actually see dude staying one more year. I highly doubt Mariota is not going in the draft next year. But if there was one dude I would hedge my bet on, it would be Mariota. Hawaiians just do there own thing..

@L. Deezy @WaddupDoe! @GREENandYELLOW

I agree. Mariota is a different dude. Seems so humble and down to earth. The fact he is graduating and if he turns in a season like his last two, he'll be a top pick...so my expectation is that he will leave, but he is one of the guys where this feels like an actual decision for him, not just for attention.

I am excited for Pellum too. Every clip from players talking they are loving the style of this guy.

And I had no idea, Carrington was this big:

Top 10 future college stars

CFB Future Power Ranks | 10 future stars | Chat wrap | 2013 FPR


It's always fun to pull out our crystal ball and project who is going to be the next star or make the biggest splash in college football over the next few years. More than half of the players on our list from a year ago made an impact on the gridiron in 2013, and some on the list hadn't even entered college yet, so their fate is still undetermined.

In conjunction with the release of our College Football Future Power Rankings, we will once again sprinkle in a few high school seniors who we think could be premier players over time in conjunction with current college players who are on the verge of breaking out.

Here are the top 10 players set to become college football stars over the next three years.



228.gif


1. DeShaun Watson, QB, Clemson Tigers


Don't be surprised if Watson is the starting quarterback as a true freshman at Clemson by midseason of this year. Although he was injured in spring football, he made great strides and a fantastic impression on both the coaching staff and his teammates. Cole Stoudt may be the senior, but he does not have Watson's talent. Plus, Stoudt lacks the high-level athleticism that offensive coordinator Chad Morris seeks. Watson has a chance to be special, and from a maturity standpoint he is capable of handling the jump from high school to college with very few growing pains. He's the quarterback of the future of this program and will be charged with continuing its run of double-digit-win seasons and competing for championships.

2. Vernon Hargreaves, CB, Florida Gators


Maybe it's not fair to put Hargreaves on this list considering he was a starter as a true freshman and many think he was the best corner on Florida's roster. However, 2013 might just be the tip of the iceberg as it relates to the impact Hargreaves could have on the Gators' defense over the next couple of years. He is a surefire top-10 selection two years from now, in our opinion. He is a difference-maker athletically, but more importantly, his football IQ is off the charts.



194.gif


3. Dontre Wilson, ATH/RB, Ohio State Buckeyes


Wilson saw significant action as a true freshman in a limited role as a scatback and wide receiver in 2013, but expect his role to increase as he blossoms into a go-to player with this offense. He bulked up his weight and strength to be able to handle the load as a ball carrier if called upon, and he may be the most explosive perimeter player on the Buckeyes. He is a difference-maker in space and is capable of winning foot races in the open field. Wilson likely will add significantly more explosive plays of 20 yards or more to this offense.

4. Chris Jones, DE, Mississippi State Bulldogs


There was a lot of hype in 2013 surrounding Robert Nkemdiche (and deservedly so), but across the state, Jones was making an immediate impact on the Bulldogs' defense at defensive end. This kid is an absolute monster and has such a high ceiling for development because he came into the college level so raw. He could potentially be a three-and-out, first-round draft choice in two years. He may not be a national name yet, but he is within the SEC. Who would have ever thought that potentially the two best defensive ends in the conference would be at Ole Miss and Mississippi State?



275.gif


5. Corey Clement, RB, Wisconsin Badgers


This may seem like a bit of a cop-out because Wisconsin has turned into Running Back U as of late, but when you consider that Clement had a significant role within the offense as a true freshman with James White and Melvin Gordon in front of him, it's pretty easy to see why he could be special over time. He is a galloping workhorse capable of breaking long runs and carrying the load for an offense. Plus, Clement is the perfect fit in terms of what the Badgers want to be as far as their offensive identity. Don't be surprised if folks need to be reminded who Montee Ball was after Clement's college career is over.

6. Alex Collins, RB, Arkansas Razorbacks


This kid is a stud, and we've only seen him scratch the surface of what he's capable of. You've got to be careful with freshman running backs in terms of ballhandling and pass protection, but over the course of his freshman campaign Collins emerged as the premier runner in this offense. The scheme is tailored to his strengths and will feature him as the focal point of the offense in 2014, which will allow him to pile up some monster stats both this year and beyond. Collins could emerge as one of the top running backs in all of college football in 2014.



333.gif


7. Cameron Robinson, OT, Alabama Crimson Tide


It won't be long until this true freshman is starting for the University of Alabama. As talented as this unit has been for Alabama over the last five or so years, the Crimson Tide have not had an O-line prospect of Robinson's caliber. Cyrus Kouandjio is the closest comparison, but Robinson is much further ahead technically than Kouandjio was at the same stage. We rarely make assessments when it comes to projecting beyond the college level for high school prospects, but we projected D.J. Fluker would be a first-round draft choice coming out of high school as an offensive lineman even though he was being recruited as a defensive lineman. At that same stage, there is no comparison between him and Robinson.

8. Brandon Harris, QB, LSU Tigers


He may be thrust into duty earlier than expected by most, including us, but when you consider his performance during the spring, Harris could very well find himself under center for LSU in its opening game against Wisconsin. This is an extremely gifted player with rare arm talent. How quickly he assimilates and can process the offense will determine how fast he rises up the ranks. There isn't a player on LSU's roster who can throw the football the way he can. With the weapons LSU is going to have on offense over the next few years, Harris could be surrounded with the personnel necessary to compete for a national title.



130.gif


9. Jabrill Peppers, CB/ATH, Michigan Wolverines


While not even on campus yet, a lot is going to be expected of Peppers in a Michigan uniform. In our opinion he will deliver. Michigan's current roster does not have a player of Peppers' caliber athletically. Yes, many comparisons have been made to Charles Woodson; fair or unfair, that's the reality of the situation. In our opinion, he is a difference-maker who is capable of playing multiple positions on offense or defense and is a future star.



333.gif


10. Robert Foster, WR, Alabama Crimson Tide


Many within the Alabama program think that Foster should have played a year ago as a true freshman, but hindsight will tell you Alabama was correct in redshirting him and allowing him to get acclimated to the college life in terms of time management, academics and all of the other areas that require so much attention. That being said, outside of Amari Cooper, Foster may be the most talented skill player in Alabama's receiving corps this year. Once Cooper departs for the NFL a year from now, Foster could become the go-to guy in Alabama's passing game.

Week 2 is the measuring stick so we'll definitely find out early

Pretty much. I looked at the schedule when they came out so I'm a lil fuzzy on it but I remember thinking "Damn 4-0, or 5-0 isn't that much of a stretch for them" Stanford better be careful.

Eight members of South Carolina’s 21-man signing class have yet to enroll in school, and the Gamecocks are resigned to the fact that not all the remaining players will qualify, recruiting coordinator Steve Spurrier Jr. told The State on Wednesday.

Defensive ends Dante Sawyer and Kalan Ritchie have previously announced they will not meet qualifying requirements and attend junior college with the hope of re-signing with South Carolina. The USC options for defensive end signee Jhaustin Thomas appear to be done after he failed to qualify from his junior college.

Cornerbacks Wesley Green, Chris Lammons and Darin Smalls, fullback Joe Blue and defensive tackle Dexter Wideman still are trying to meet qualifying standards in time to join the Gamecocks in August

Bra people are really down playing the Ducks this year. The Ducks are legit, again. The next couple years is worrisome, but this year I am pretty pumped. The O will roll, it always does. But I really think the Ducks D is going to surprise this year. I think Coach Pellum is the change we needed. I don't want to be a hater after the fact, but Nick was calling some bad games last year.

At the very least we have the best dressed DC in the Nation.
