Back in the day, Terence Flagler out of Fernandina Beach, Florida. He was highly touted and he really did not develop until he became a San Francisco 49er!

Terrance Flagler was 1st team AA his last year at CU

Correct, and he was a complete bust as a 49er.***

Bernard Rambert


May 29, 2014, 4:14 PM [ in reply to What Is Bernard Rambert Doing These Days??*** ]

Man, his freshman year. He looked really good.
A lot of ppl compared him to former back from
the 80s, Terrence Flagler. But Rambert could never
put it together after that 1st yr.


IMHO.

Re: Best Clemson Running Back That Disappointed Us All


May 28, 2014, 5:56 PM

You got the names right, but I think most of us wanted to see more of Harper...he had a couple of great moments his junior season which showed he could be a great talent.

If he had stayed, we would have had him as a senior in Chad's first year. The backfield of him & AE would have been incredible. Who knows what would have happened that year if we had him.

Re: Best Clemson Running Back That Disappointed Us All


May 28, 2014, 6:10 PM [ in reply to Re: Best Clemson Running Back That Disappointed Us All ]

I try and block the '10 season out of my memory. Before Andre got hurt, I remember being mad every time that Harper got the ball, thinking "we've got Ellington sitting on the bench for this?"

Never seen such a big guy dance so much. What made it more frustrating was that we saw flashes on greatness like in the '10 Auburn game that just didn't seem to materialize.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Hated to see the way TB & Rich Rod handled Javis Austin


May 28, 2014, 5:50 PM

and what Austin did to himself. Saw him play in high
school and his first couple of years at Clemson. Not
speedy, but he was a great power runner, the kind the NFL
used to like. Thought he was developing and had NFL
potential, but the coaching change affected him probably
more than any other player. The new staff seemed to be
set on Travis Zachery from the start.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Our coaching staff tried...


May 29, 2014, 4:15 PM

to turn Austin into a FULL BACK. He put on all that weight, and it really messed him up.

Ronald Williams back when I was there in the early 90's. Seems I remember he was highly recruited, had a promising freshman year, but hurt his knee or something and never did much more for us after that. Saw him jogging around campus once. Dude looked like a race horse. LOL

Jamie Harper

Never was as good as advertised coming out of high school, and he never played like a 230+ lbs. RB.

Thanks to Harper for all he did.


May 29, 2014, 12:47 AM

But his fumble vs. SC may have single-handedly started the streak.

Jamie Harper gets my vote. I'm still trying to figure out why we recruited him. And then why he went to the NFL early. I wish him luck, but was never impressed save ONE catch that was awesome. But his RB skills were way overrated IMO.
