I still hope that Cole is a dependable back-up and we can RS Kelly. But if the kid is ready....

disagree. If he is second best, he will not RS

Clemson no longer looks to automatic red shirt if the depth is there. Best athletes are on the field. I hope Cole is good enough, but if he is not, Chad will be the back-up.

going down. Numbers wise he still could. Now whether Chad will or not based on ability is a whole different discussion.

No, but I'm sure the coaches will evaluate him and his abilities upon his arrival, and that decision will follow. Unlikely he will come out of HS with no Spring under his belt and be up to snuff vs. the others, but it has happened. I hope he is really that good, but time will tell.

we may not be able to RS Kelly due to recruiting promises
Apr 16, 2012, 8:38 PM

Clemson has a history of promising freshmen during the recruiting process playing time or a shot at it.....I want Kelly to RS, but will be surprised to see it happen.

I feel bad for him too.
However, I have to question the strength and conditioning regime when someone gets hurt on the last play of the game. I know in other sports (don't have the data for football in front of me), that for non contact knee injuries (about 70% of knee injuries) as fatigue increases, the probability of a catastrophic knee injury also increases.

I feel bad for the kid, and you may be right about his Clemson days. Already found himself #4 on the depth chart (before Kelly gets here) and now sitting out a 2nd year could leave him out altogether.
