Class Breakdown: Clemson will have zero seniors on the team

next year. All 10 members of the senior class will be redshirt seniors. There will be no true seniors on the team. However, 48 of the 84 scholarship players (57%) will be in at least their 3rd(up to 5th) year in the program. 83% will be in their 2nd year or greater. Almost 70% of our scholarship roster will have game experience.
We are losing a lot of talent, but we return a lot of experienced talent.
RS Senior - 10
Senior - 0
RS Junior - 13
Junior - 14
RS Soph - 11
Sophomore - 10
RS Fresh - 12
Freshmen - 14
Total - 84
5th year - 10
4th year - 13
3rd year - 25
2nd year - 22
1st year - 14
Total - 84

This year people find out our program is more than DW and is here to stay.

This is not a one pony circus! We will be just fine. Our future is very bright for the foreseeable future, IMO.

Anyone that watches our D play just ONE game knows that CLEMSON is more than DW4. No doubt, he's an awesome player to lose, but we will be fine.

good points on class make-ups

but with red-shirting you expect more than half your team to have more than 2 years' experience -
it's just the math.
I have three concerns about next year
and none have to do with experience.
1) O-Line: this is a position that either gets it or doesn't. This past year they were marginal for a Top 10 team - imho.
Will they be better next year, especially given it's the Center leadership position that has been vacated.
2) QB - Would DW have led us to the title this past year if he were just a Frosh?
I doubt it, and I hope whoever gains the job is afforded development time by the FANS
that someone like a Cole Stoudt never got as a starter.
3) Gamechangers: We've been very talented for several years BUT
it's the gamechangers that won a Natty for Clemson - DW, Mike Williams, Christian & Dexter.
These are guys who step on a field and start winning battles against anyone else the opponent plays - no matter the team.
The questions is not whether we'll be talented and experienced next year -
it's whether we'll have gamechangers like Sammy, Nuk, and MacKensie Alexander playing....

I think I was pointing out that there are really just a few true gamechangers on any Collegiate team - even Alabama.
We have talent sure, but what elite college players do we have
that have actually shown their capability on the field?
We expect Gallman, DW, Leggett, and Mike Williams to be replaced - but by whom?
Surely we expect a good many new players to step forward -
but of the current squad - sans the 0-experience freshman class -
who would you put as a proven gamechanger?
Deon Cain, Big Dexter, Christian Wilkins, possibly Clelin Ferrell....
I'm not talking "star rating" - I'm talking experienced playmakers
that will have a career in the NFL...

To your point # 2 I would say that Hurts didn't seem to have much trouble as a freshman leading AL to the title game. Just saying, we don't know just how good the next guy up will be. Some thought there was no way DW4 could be as good as Boyd, but how did that turn out?
