Dabo has really delivered on his message of building a consistent program.

Usually, I look at the recruiting class and pick out the ones that are likely to start. The measure of the consistency I see at Clemson is that this our best class ever and I do not see any in the class that I think will start unless there are injuries before the game with Wofford.
I think that Cain, Ray Ray, Huggins and Wilkins will and a DB or 2, and at least 1 on the OL will be in the 2 deep, but with the talent ahead of them, I do not think any of them will start except on STs.
4 years ago I thought Anthony, Steward, and at least 2 freshman WRs would start....
2 years ago I thought Alexander would start.
Last year a lot of people thought DW should start.

Good point! I agree, we will have some significant contributors from this class in their freshman year, but there is so much talent across the boards for us that it will be really difficult for them to pass up our returnees to earn starting spots. In past years if we signed a Ray Ray, a Deon, a Wilkins they would have started game one. Maybe they will in 2015 as well, but it is certainly not a foregone conclusion.

Think that is why so many enrolled early. To get a jump on playing time. All the stars earned against high schoolers are now out the window. Am excited to see who has the work ethic and desire to make the jump to playing with the big boys. And, while I hate to see DW hurt, it may prove a blessing as our two freshman QB's will get a lot of first team reps this spring.

Yeah, I've never heard of this many guys enrolling early anywhere. It's going to be fun to hear the returns on the new guys once spring ball starts. And I think you are on the money concerning the freshmen QB's. They are going to get exponentially more reps and coaching than they would have with DW unable to participate. Wish I was more confident in DW's durability. We definitely need to get the young guys prepared.
