I still think Thompson should start over Cain. He is more consistent, but Cain needs to play more.

Yes, "...when Cain shows he can throw a block like Peake"***

Cain can play but he can't block. Peake has a much better upside

Way to go Hunter. Best hands on the team! Carrying on the traditions of Tyler Grisham and Adam Humphries.

he's similar to Grisham and Humphries. Hunter has WAY more speed and upside than either Tyler or Adam had. Both were good receivers for us but Renfrow is a much better athlete than both imo.

I think you're mistaken about Adam.. He ran a 4.2 40 at one point

Adam did not run a 4.2 40 at any point in his life
Oct 12, 2015, 1:19 PM
|

That's Deion Sanders speed. His last known 40 time was 4.53 which is good for him.

He's a good receiver with great hands and a huge heart. He is not a 4.2 guy though - very few are. The only two Tigers in recent years to run a laser timed sub 4.3 are J.Ford (4.24) and C.J. Spiller (4.28) Adams average time per NFL was 4.53

Adam is faster than Renfrow but I believe that Renfrow is a little bigger and has more ball skills. Adam was a legit 4.4 guy. Renfrow is more of a 4.5/4.6 guy.

Hunter R. was just uncoverable from a one-on-one standpoint. Also was a H.S. quarterback which has it's own upside. I'm thinking he may end up having more in common with a Danny Amendola.

i love this kid!!!

These are the stories that i love to see. Kid practices with his mom as QB & ends up starting WR for Clemson. You cant make this stuff up. My only problem with this story has nothing to do with Renfrow starting because he deserves every bit of time he gets to play, my problem is they are replacing Hopper for him & keeping Peake in. I personally think Hopper is way more deserving to be in the starting lineup ahead of Peake. Peake doesnt want to go up for a ball, it seems if it doesnt drop right in his pocket he doesn't want anything to do with it. Not to mention all the dropped passes. But what do i know, im not the coach or a player so its just me ranting.

Peake did do a good job blocking, particularly the knock down block on the Gallman 69 yard TD run.

Problem with replacing Peake is that you have absolutely no height at WR if you take him out..

Its hard to belive that Renfrow is a FRESHMAN! I wouldnt br that surprised if he was a senior "getting his turn" but he has crazy talent and will be a major contributer in years to come. On the other hand, Yall are trashing Peake so much but what has Hopper done this season? Been practicality non existent while Peake has had his moments. This was the right move and hopefully Cain will overtake Peake in 2 weeks or so.

I'm not. Hunter goes and gets the ball with his hands. He fights for everything he gets because he knew his time was limited. And the coaches saw his hard work and said Here you go kid go do work. That catch in the rain against ND told me enough.. He went up in a freaking DOWN POUR and plucked that ball out the sky like some Nuk Hopkins type mess. i was like #### this dude has some hands.

Renfrow appears to be (thru 5 games, at least) a slightly better combo of Grisham & Humphries. Quick, nice route-runner, good in space & great hands. Clutch player. Good for him!

I told a gamecock yesterday that our best WR was a walk-on Freshman. He was shocked. Kudos to the coaching staff for recognizing the tremendous lift he gives to the team. Congrats to Hunter.

What I like most about this is even though we are 5-0 and just dominated GT we are still making changes and trying to get better. This makes us better.
I think at some point Cain will get past Peake for that starting spot and I love that you have to earn your spot on our team.

That's the only reason he started Cole over DW last year. I suspect Cain will get more snaps with the first team this week too.

He isn't directly competing with Cain or Ray Ray. They all play 3 different positions.

block for Gallman's TD and caught a couple of tough ones over the middle. I say give him one more game chance! And go Hunter - if he had not been tackled from behind, he would have had another td!

His last name is Renfrow! The way he plays is no surprise at all to the folks in Dillon County! He played ball in Socastee but his bloodline is Lake View! Go Hunter Renfrow!

I personally thought that G-Hop was doing a good job for us this season with what few times he has been thrown to.
