Can someone help me understand?


Jan 5, 2018, 12:35 PM

It feels like in recent memory we always have 4-5 qbs on our roster. I was thinking about this after seeing the new offer in the news section for another qb. Obviously with the talent that is now here, is this normal? Or are we preparing for life after TL? Thanks in advance.

We need at least one QB per class just to keep the numbers flat (we'll need 2 one year). That's just due to graduation. We'll need more if we have transfers, early NFL departures, or career ending injuries. In 2014 we lost several QBs and were down to 3 on scholarship (Watson, Stoudt, Schuessler).

I don’t see why we need 6 on scholarship

We'll be extremely blessed if we have 6 on scholarship next year. That would mean no one decided to transfer (which is highly unlikely). Can you imagine any other school where QBs as talented as Hunter Johnson , Chase Brice, Tucker Israel, and Zerrick Cooper would be willing to stick around with as little playing time as these guys have had? That's before adding Trevor Lawrence to the mix. We don't run guys off and passing on Trevor Lawrence this year just because we already have 5 QBs on scholarship would be insanely stupid.

I'd imagine that Cooper is fairly likely to transfer. If he was going to grab the starting job it probably needed to be this season and unlike Johnson he's already used his redshirt year.

I'm as big a Clemson fan as any, but hate to see these kids

ruin their NFL aspirations to sit on bench at Clemson especially when Dabo is starting QB with no NFL skill sets.

The NFL will find you and give you a chance.

Then there's Tajh Boyd.

College isn't the NFL.

It ebbs and flows. Just two years ago we had Watson as a starter and Schuessler and Bryant as backups. Not exactly a recipe for success. We were fortunate that DW stayed healthy all season.

I'd rather have 4-5 highly touted QBs on roster, than end up like 2015 SC where they end up having to start a walk-on (Not of the Mayfield type) due to lack of QB depth.

I'm a Tucker fan, but the Dude has bad luck. Broke his foot first day of practice his freshmen year. Got well and started playing well and then got sick. I hate it for him, but he may not be able to go. We aren't going to kick him off the team for a physical ailment.

Tucker really has been unlucky and for that reason has never and will never crack the top 3 of the depth chart. But I believe he is content with where is he and understands this is a brotherhood and he values that more than playing!

Recruiting in College Football


Jan 5, 2018, 3:21 PM

is a combination of a national political campaign, psychological warfare, spy vs. spy and chaos theory. There are a myriad of reasons why people are offered scholarships that are not obvious at the time. In many cases, the true target is not the individual receiving the offer.
