If you could pick 5 players Clemson was close to getting...
Sep 10, 2013, 3:25 PM
|
|
Who would it be? My five?
Mountravius Adams
Kendall Fuller
Todd Gurley
Ronald Darby
Carl Lawson
What say you? Yes, I'm happy with our team, just playing the what if game as I'm out of work with severe back pain today.

Can't imagine what might have been with both those guys at Clemson. But I am perfectly content in what did happen during the years they would have been here. And Georgia would have had NO National Championships.

No, I love the DL, just love depth too. Just imagine what Fuller and Darby would do to our secondary. Then obviously what Gurley does to our running attack.

Exactly. More talent is never a bad thing.
I wouldn't mind having a Shaq Lawson and Carl Lawson competing for the same spot...or a Mont. Adams and Carlos Watkins/Watson battling it out for the UT spot.
Competition is an amazing thing.
The Denver Broncos have been able to find and develop 4 --- COUNT THEM --- 4 undrafted free agents who are either starting or seeing significant PT on defense because they've understood that your better players emerge in training camp and not on the scouting reports. Competition separates the prima donnas from the football players.
Not that we don't have good competition already, but I agree with Cam in that more never hurts, and it's not necessarily dissing what we have to think about what ELSE we could have.

Theme?
What was the original question?
None of them will play for Clemson so it's a moot point.

I will list those that we had very good chances with and finished most likely #2 or #3 with in recruiting. I wont include R Nkemdechie because I guess we supposedly fell out of his top 3.
Mont Adams
Todd Gurley
Carl Lawson
Clowney
Vernon Hargreaves

Even though neither has any character at all. Maybe coming here would have given them each some class.

Vernon Hargreaves and Kendall Fuller are better DBs than Darby if I recall.
Darby was a darn good one but I think these two are even better.

You are right. I forgot Hargreaves but I don't think Fuller is that good. I would've took Darby and Hargreaves anyday.
