Finally got around to watching the spring game

been busy. True freshman and players that stood out.
RB. Not a single guy outside of Dixon and Mafah belongs at a Power 5 program, sorry guys. None of these guys are very good. GT has better backs returning than we do. you are kidding yourself if you think the light is just going to turn on with the Juniors.
That said Mafah is the complete package, He will be our starter at some point this season, sooner than later. I was very relieved to see his performance. He has exceptional balance and a nice wiggle, he is a bruiser. The other backs go down like a sack of potatoes at first contact, he gets that extra yard or 2.
Shipley is overrated. JMHO. I hope he proves me wrong, but his game will not translate at this level. maybe he can do things in the slot and hit a few home runs. Definitely fits the mold of a punt returner, that will be his home I imagine.
WR, don't even know where to start. Ajou Ajou is about all I have to say..Nice surprise to an already loaded roster. Our TE rotation has me drooling.
Oline Tate Tucker and Mayes stuck out. Was not paying much attention. Honestly have no clue what to look for here, but Tate seems impressive as a true freshman.
DB We hit it out of the park with Wiggins and Mukaba. Mukaba is a big-time upgrade on the back end. He will play this year.
DL Denhoff stood out, He will redshirt. Nice length. He will be a tough guy to deal with a couple of years.

Just not seeing it with Shipley. If he was the top APB in last year's cycle, then there are a lot of disappointed coaches out there right now. Don't get me wrong, he is a fantastic athlete and a winner. The coaches will find ways to get him the ball in space where he can be effective.

If they hang around long enough, they may catch on.

I don't think you know how to take me. I stand behind Shipley being a marginal top 200 talent, and i hope I am wonrg.. And I stand behind Mafah being the closest thing to a RB on this roster now that ETN has moved on.

Sorry, but between that and your take on our RBs, I thought you were being a d!ck. When I saw the part about Shipley and the other RBs, I thought, wow, that's a brave and controversial take! Then, when I read the part about Mukuba, I thought "Aha! Now it makes sense. This is just Tbalm yanking our chain! He threw the Mukuba thing in to see who is paying attention". Sorry, peace out.

I know I am a bit of a jokester, but I do not joke about Clemson football. I seriously have been living in cave the last couple of months pulling 70 hour weeks. I have started to watch the game, only to have it drone in the background while I am slaving away. I got to finally sit down and focus on a handful of players. Again, I hope I am dead wrong about Shipley. I think he is a great player, just not the answer for replacing ETN, just my 2 cents.. I think Mafah is our guy.
I see a couple of nasty guys on the oline with the right attitude, and the backup safeties looked good.
and if I am wrong about Ship, I will be the first person to GLADLY post that I was wrong.
that is about it.

Don't stop being a jokester, whatever you do. That would confuse me and cause me to have to reevaluate and relearn everything, and I'm getting too old for that. I love learning new things and I know change is inevitable, I just don't like having the rug jerked out from under me.

Edit one of your own posts, then go back to it and see if you can change the name of the editor.

Didn't see most of the spring game

but I think you are very wrong about Shipley. I don't know if he'll be productive as a freshman, especially early on. But he'll make an impact in future seasons. However, to be honest, I would rather have Bowman than Shipley.
I also like Kobe Pace at RB. He should be the starter against UGA.
Would not surprise me at all if Mafah emerges as the primary RB sometime during the season.

I have heard a lot of coach speak this spring

On Shipley I hope am wrong too. As far as Pace, he is no Nick Chubb. I saw Jones yank him to the ground with an arm tackle and he put it on the turf on a simple pitch play. The others just didn't run with that anger and purpose like we saw with Gallman and ETN.. I see that with Mafah. And he has those wide, fluid hips that make a good back hard to wrap up and tackle.
Shipley looks like a slot receiver to me.

We are so loaded at RB & WR!! Your a week late for class but that’s ok because Shipley is going to do it all for This team for years to come. I like the thunder (Mafah) & Lightning (Shipley) comparison! We hit on both recruits, Dabo loves both but is really High on Shipley breaking off long runs in practice & blocking. (Special teams & RB Mikey Dukes is coming on fast too) love Dabo & crews ability to develop TALENT.
WONDER IF-> they could develop this 53 year old into a special talent, I still have some eligibility left(just ask my wife)lol.....
Kobe Pace & Lynn J will be our thunder & lightning this season to begin but it might just end with the rookies dominating. Shipley will get more playing time than Mafah because of his playbook knowledge & breakaway speed.
We are going to go Paul Johnson on the little puppies!
You didn’t mention Ruke Oh-Roh-Roh-Roh but he’s going to be a big breakout player on defense this season!
The kids special & only practiced a couple times in the spring because of injury & still caused havoc.
Denhoff will be a keeper to with his technique & speed just needs time in the weight room!

Losing Bowman was a kick in the n*rds. Pretty decent assessment except I think Pace can be good.
