Clemson Tigers

I've decided to start a new one since its a new season and I can't find the old one.

A few questions to get the ball rolling

Who will start QB next year? I think we will do something like Georgia did. But Korn will win it by the end of the year

Who is better between JD and CJ? I think CJ, he is the next Reggie Bush. I am so glad he decided to stay.

Will Ricky Sapp be the next Gaines? No but he will be a good player

Who will be the leading WR next year? This is a tough one. I don't know if who will step up. A wild card could be Redrick Taylor coming back from injury

Our Schedule for next year (Not in order)

at Maryland Loss
Wake Forest Win
at NC State Win
FSU Loss
BC Win
at Georgia Tech Loss
at Duke Win
Virginia Tech Loss
Louisiana-Monroe (9/ Cool

Win
Temple (9/15) Win
at South Carolina (11/24) Win (I can't predict losing to SC)

I'm going to bump this by updating our recruit situation.

http://rivals100.rivals.com/commitlist.asp?Year=2007&School=13

We are ranked 13th in the nation according to Rivals and 22nd according to scout

Top Commits:
WR Markish Jones (but he may decommit)
QB Willy Korn
CB Marcus Gilchrist
CB DeAndre McDaniel
Scotty Copper LB
DT Jarvis Jenkins
(All 4 stars according to Rivals, Jones is a 3 star on scout).

Possibles:
Rashad Mason
Kourtnei Brown
Dwight Jones
They would be the main Possibles. If we got the 2 Wr's we would probably lose Jones. With Kourtnei Brown it is down to us and Bama but he really enjoyed his visit. With Dwight Jones it is between us UNC and Tenn. Mason has quite a few schools still in the running but is visiting us on Feb 3rd

How about Rendrick Taylor? I remember seeing pictures of this guy. He is built like a truck.

If we get Dwight Jones, it would be huge. He is committed to UNC, but his mom said he favors Clemson and Tennessee over UNC. I think he will end up here.

I think M. Jones will decommit, but Mason will come here.

Mason and Jones would be nasty, both are 6'5 and above. Plus, Kelly is tall.

Taylor will have a breakout year if he is used properly. The guy is huge, and has good hands. Not great speed, but a great red zone threat.

Spiller and JD will do what they did last year.

Korn will start, and the offense will be nasty.

The defense returns most starters excluding the secondary, but that is the area Clemson has focused on the past two years getting 5 four star DB. Butler is a star in the making.

I think Sapp will rival Adams, and may end up being better than him.

I expect a great year based on talent and schedule, but Bowden will blow games and lose to teams we shouldn't.

It looks like we will finish the recruiting class very strong.

We are the new favorites for Dwight Jones.

Rashad Mason said he loved Clemson and was probably coming here, but the coaches pulled the offer (probably to keep Markish Jones). I am pissed they did not keep the offer on the table, can never have too much talent. And it would have been a redzone nightmare for other teams if he came here with Jones (plus Kelly and Rendrick).

Kourtnei Brown, DE, is leaning here.

Brandon Paul might come here since Maxwell got hurt.

I cannot wait for signing day. We can turn a good class into a great one.

I for one will be watching a lot of Clemson football next year. Davis and Spiller on offense with guys like Sapp, Clemons, and Hamlin on defense. I think you guys will enjoy a good year and you probably would've had the best secondary in the country had Gaddis come back (Which he should've).

Good luck next year. Wink

I am very worried about losing Gaddis. He was the best athlete on the team and was our best CB. Now, we will have someone who has never started play opposite Butler (who is a star in the making). Clemons and Hamlin might be the best safety duo in the country, but CB is a weakness.
