Can't wait to see our running backs this year.

Agree. Don't get me wrong, landing White would have been great. But since we are lean on scholarships this year, I would much rather get guys like Carman or other beastly lineman. Breakaway runs? I have faith that Feaster is going to shine. Catching passes out of the backfield? Hmm, who was the RB in the post season scoring on a passing play? That was Fuller. And fwiw, I know Feaster had such good hands in HS some considered him a top WR if he wanted. We have yet to see Etienne yet, or the Walk on Coach DS is so high on. I think we are fine personally. And for my .02 cents, with Feaster, if he had been forced into the starting lineup as Gallant was his freshman year, I believe he would have been really good, but we didn't have to. I see us having a really nice running game this year, and RB's will be lining up wanting offers. Go Tigers!

I fully expect him to. Fuller was very under rated in my

opinion and will be a very good RB for us. Feaster is the most talented runner we have, however. Everybody was drooling over Zamir White this year, but since Feaster wasn't an instant star at Clemson, I think a lot of folks are forgetting that Feaster was that guy a year ago. There wasn't so much drama surrounding Feaster, as he committed to us much earlier in the process. However, he was the #1 All-Purpose Back according to the 247 Composite, possessing Spilleresque speed on a bigger frame. 247's top 32 players consist of what they project would be the 32 first round picks in the NFL draft four years forward. Tavien Feaster was ranked the #30 player, meaning he's a first rounder. Again, I know he struggled in some areas last year, but I believe those things can be improved and corrected. If they are, there is no reason he won't be the next great RB at Clemson.
