I agree that he will but our best chance at an ACC title or NC is Cole Stoudt. Watson is still a boy... but with all the physical tools... he needs to mature as a man and as a leader.... give him some time and experience let his body toughen up some.....

Everybody just buys into the coach speak and hype hmmmmm. Watson Hasn't never taken a snap on gameday, and some already have him starting at UGA. IDK how good, big, fast, or accurate Watson is right now. If anybody expects him to come in and unseat Cole by mid-season, I don't think that will happen unless Cole has had a serious injury. While Watson is trying to get up to speed as a starting QB, Cole will have already gotten to full speed and cruising. Some even act as if Cole is going to go out and just throw ints so Watson can have the job. Well it ain't going to happen. Cole is not going to lay down and hand his job over. Cole is a very smart kid that has lived his entire life with a pro FB QB in his dad. He will gain more and more experiences every time he lines up under center, or lines up in the shot gun. Barring injury, Cole will be our starter until he graduates and gets drafted to the pros. By then, Watson will be our starter after spring game,summer work outs, fall camp. By then he should have the experience and be ready to be our starter by next August. Yes he will play some this season in games just as Cole did. I do not believe in any shape or form, that Watson will take the starting job from Cole with 3 years more experience. Jameis Winston didn't do it at FSU, and I don't see Watson doing it at Clemson. Coach speak is spoken to inspire rookies and to keep their confidence high and competing at their highest level at every practice. That is what gets them ready for when their moment comes to step up to the plate and perform as a starter. Coaches has used that specific method for decades b/c it works. Coach speak is an awesome motivating tool. As good as Kelly was advertised, he couldn't unseat Cole with just a year behind him, but our coaches made him think he could. You can't beat or replace hundreds of practices just b/c they have awesome talent.

CJ Fuller will be one to keep you eye on as well. 5'11" 214 with track speed as a freshman...that's gotta amount to something.

....I've watched Easley High football for the last 45 years. I go to most every game I can, home & away. Hear me now, believe me later. C.J. Fuller is one of the best running backs to ever come out of Easley.That list includes Stanley Morgan (1973, Played for University of Tennessee & New England Patriots), & Eric Meekin's (1998, Played defense for Clemson, because Bowden wouldn't give him the chance to play running back since he was recruited by Tommy West, BAD decision IMHO)! DO NOT go to sleep on C.J. Fuller!!! This kid IS a football PLAYER!!! He may not be as "Ready" as the vets, but he CAN tote the rock! He has size AND speed! Keep your eye on,#27!

Completely agree with you...as an Easley alum, I've seen a lot of Fuller and he's very impressive with great size and good speed. He'll end up a player for us.

I totally agree. Weighs 216 and has speed. We finally have a stable of RB's who have size and speed. Fuller could be an "under the radar" superstar. I'm still watching the 233 pound guy---nobody saw him coming because he'd been pro baseball player.

I have never watched CJD play, but I would prefer him over Howard. I cannot believe that Howard is working with the first team offense. He is not a running back and he is definitely the least talented running back on the roster.

After watching his highlights over a year ago. I'm surprised he comes in so low under the radar. Like they said, he has track speed, and he isn't a dance in the hole kind of back. W/him it's hit the hole hard and fast, one cut and go. He sees the cut back lane extremely well.
And to boot, he is out second biggest back at 216, behind Kurt Fleming at 233. I think his future is very bright.
Go Tigers!!!

My own observation

[ in reply to See? I keep saying CJ Davidson will be the man at RB.*** ] |
|
from what I have seen.
His speed hasn't translated to the FB field. Seems he
was still learning the play book and what he should be
doing; which may contribute to that.
Gotta be concern about durability as well.
Just my 2 cents.

I know its a bit early to be saying this, but everything that Im hearing about this team makes me feel like they are ready to sweep the schedule. It seems like all of the talent is there, and their minds are set on greatness.

#1 Thompson is going to surprise some people. He didnt enroll in January and I feel like people forget that he is a 4* WR and is big I think 6'3. He will be someone to keep an eye on.

Do we have a solid kicker this year?
I've been worried about this since we've had years where kicking killed us.

ammon lakip is cu's pk, had an awesome spring from all reports.
"check out the big brain on brad" pinion is back doing the punting, going huge hangtime & handling kick off duties as well.
lakip was a top 10, national pk coming out of hs, scholarship guy who's now a jr. we'll see how he does when the lights are on, but so far, so good.

Glad to see Grady take charge of the team. Big man with a great work ethic, just the type of leader you need setting the example for the young'uns! Go Tigers!

David, you continue to impress. Keep 'em coming.
Great to hear that Grady is stepping up as a leader. Having a leader that opposing OLinemen refer to as "Shady Grady" puts us one step closer to taking on that nasty, take-no-prisoners mentality of the '80s that we've been moving towards for a few years now.

Zac Brooks (in the photo with coach Elliott) still looks like a rail. With the studs we have at RB, I don't even see how he makes the depth chart. Wish they had moved him to WR.
