2017 class, Responding to an earlier post
Feb 5, 2016, 8:15 AM

We have 18 rising seniors. I am not counting those that left early. (G. Hop is included in that number)
We have four potential rising juniors that could potentially leave early.
Watson - almost definitely
Scott - highly likely
Gallman - likely
Crowder - doubtful but possible
Of course there are others that could have a break out year and decide to leave early, Pagano would seem the most likely in this category.
With other attrition that leaves us close to a full class we can sign for 2017.

just counting scholarship athletes we have 9 players that will be Seniors next year and guessing at least 5 that will leave early.I could have miscounted, doubt I was off by half.

Then these guys will likely be gone.
Watson
Scott
Gallman
Plus we had 1 scholarship to give in this past class.
We're at 15 openings already. Seems like we will have at least 20 openings next year right?

Wiggins redshirted and Scott won't leave. 5'10 WR who hasn't posted 1000 yards or 10 TDs yet and will be a part of the most loaded WR corps in the country. Not saying he can't play in the league but he isn't a lock like Mike is. 6'5 vs. 5'10 and most teams don't have a niche role like Clemson does in the "2" receiver position. I think he leaves after his SR year when he is a proven leader and has posted great career numbers. Even then I would say he is a high 2nd rounder at best.

I think Scott leaves for these reasons...
Feb 5, 2016, 9:54 AM

1) He is more than good enough to lay in the NFL.
2) Watson is leaving and his stats ad stock may never be higher
3) We're going to have a great year and he will be ready to move on after.

He'll still leave though. Hopper, there's still a question of whether he's gonna be here.You've got everyone.

Aiken and Burrell have already gone. They graduated and quit football. The rest were non schollies.

You know will likely lose another 3 to 5 guys to other various reasons too by that point.

You can add some more to that list....

I think Pagano leaves because he'd be buried in the depth chart in 2017, so this is his money year.
I think there's a good chance we also see some attrition at RB, but I won't elaborate on that.

I didn't want to throw out a name, but yeah. And Fuller. Don't see many meaningful snaps for either given the talent we have right now with Choice coming back.
