You better buy stock in Clemson now.

I think that is what we heard 2 years ago. All the preseason hype says Dabo was right. I know it has to be done on the field, but the talent is there. What happened that caused the stock to drop?
Scott leaving had a big impact on receiver recruiting. Grisham had to have a few years to get it back together. Last year was definitely what we expect.
Elliot leaving put Streeter in the OC position. I don't know what happened between he and Dabo, but statistically he did better than Elliot's last year. (I know lies, darn lies, and statistics).
Venebles left and Goodwin didn't get it done. I don't know why,but the good news was the position coaches still recruited good talent.
DJU didn't pan out. Cade wasn't ready as a freshman or a sophomore, but sure was last year.
What happened toJu make the stock rise. Matt Luke's hire was huge. Garrett Riley got all the ink, but I don't know why he hasn't met the success he had elsewhere. WR recruiting as previously mentioned. DL development has greatly improved, and hopefully the injury jinx that has hit some of the younger guys will not recur.
If you didn't buy on the dip, you can still buy it before the peak. Just my thoughts and I bought in during the dip.

2025 should be a great year, no doubt. Hopefully they can make it far in the playoffs.
Reality is, after this year, there is a lot of talent that will be leaving. The recruiting classes that will have been left in place are not overwhelming to say the least. It will be interesting to see that team in 2026 and after.

We should be stacked on O in 2026, aside from QB we don't know. On D will be solid again at DT. Maybe Heldt will return at DE. Hopefully Mayo steps and the other side. LB should be alright. The secondary will have some adjustments.

QB is a make or break for the teams success. It took 2 years for Cade to get to that point.
Recruiting rankings:
2023 - 14
2024 - 15
2025 - 27

Maybe we have a good replacement already. Who knows? Also, that 2025 class is better than that ranking. Stud OT, DT,.and RB.

We're blessed that Vizzina has stayed. The job is his next season. We better see him very early and often or I'll be ticked at Dabo. It's easy to overlook but Vizz was a 95 4 star and 101 prospect in the nation. Next to cade, dju, Trevor and dw4, he's the highest rated qb we've inked that's actually can play. Hunter Johnson was ranked high but he was way overrated. Vizz isn't. He's ready. He just needs reps with the ones.
Saying, they'll be pressure to get cade gaudy stats and Dabo will probably cave... but I, for one, think that'd be a huge mistake.
