Had Garvin committed to Clemson like all the recruiting experts thought he'd be a 4*.

Same for Brian Edwards, and Steed. Although Steed is getting knocked cause he was injured his JR year.

Just saw the Colbert news :snoop: nightmare scenario now brehs. Mayes, Wright, and Young and gonna have step up big time.

Only good thing is none of the next 3 teams can throw the ball worth a damn so it shouldn't be so bad. But if we're relying on those dudes vs FSU :sadcam:

Jaquan been getting looks in practice at SAM backed also.

Steed is a 4 on some sites now, looks like a guy that can play all 3 spots. we know how it works, the long-term committed kids stay the same and the ones who go down to the minute get a bump because it sells clicks. Donaldson jumped into ESPN's top 50, but thats more of a product of him being that good

i dont ever want to actually see Jaquan @ LB, but im glad hes learning 4 different positions. hes a leader going forward next year, so this way he'll know the keys/calls for alot of back 7 positions. with youth coming in @ corner it'll help to have a guy who knows the whole book

yesterday they had him @ SAM in the 4-3 set, but obviously thats not somewhere hes gonna get much work. hes moved all over, but this season yea its the 5th DB in the nickel

really excited about him, hes just out there to make plays and stick. when he gets to be the full time FS :banderas:

Is Allison red shirted?

it would have to be a disaster for him to get into a game, hes 4th/5th. Rosier is 2nd team, and Vinny Testaverde Jr. who is a walk-on really surprised in camp and is 3rd. Evan Sherriffs is a big kid with some talent, was offfered very late in the '14 class but hes probably long-term depth for the younger guys. you never know, but its probably Allison vs. Perry for the future QB job

theres another QB in the 17 class, Cade Weldon who is Casey Weldon (old FSU QB) 's son. hes a 3* that Richt seems to like

since theres alot of rivalry talk going on, lets not forget Miami is 10-3 vs. FSU when both are top 10 and 14-5 when both are ranked. y'all the choker school, not us (best record as a top 10 team EVER)

quoted for emphasis in case any of our lil bro's fanbase is here lurking

the rash of injuries is concerning, from reading camp reports you can definitely tell this staff is pushing the players a lot more than Golden' staff did, could this just be an adjustment to tougher practices?
