with my tigers much since I started my new job. So today I decided to check out some recruiting videos for players currently at Clemson, and ones that are seniors this year.
these are the ones I've watched so far: Tucker Israel: judging from the vids, the recruiting services don't give this kids speed much credit. there were several plays were he just blew past defenders. I believe ESPN has him as running a 4.6 or so. Also has a good arm with nice touch on the ball.
Adam Choice: What can I say, the kid is explosive and it seems like on every run he refuses to go down. he keeps his legs driving which is what I like to see.
Wayne Gallman: not as fast as choice, but probably a more powerful runner. I could see those two being the two feature backs if not this year then next year.
Tavien Feaster: I hope this guy becomes a tiger (most believe he will). but he is that rare type of runner who is not only fast, but strong! I hate to compare players to proven players in college and NFL, but his playstyle and body type reminds me of Adrian Peterson. Yeah that's a bit bold, but its just my opinion.
Deon Cain: if there was ever a time we needed to run a wide receiver pass, this is the guy to do it lol. that is all
Ray Ray McCloud: very shifty! broke several players ankles in the vid I watched. idk if this kid is fast, or if it his long stride. I would definitely want to see this kid lining up at wide receiver.
For some reason I was very interested in the Tucker Israel highlight film. I believe he will fit into this offense perfectly! hopefully he redshirts and plays behind Watson for two years, then starts for two more. I believe he is our guy after Watson.
