I guess the job is Gallman's to lose now

With Dye getting injured I can't imagine that anyone other than Gallman (based solely on hearsay) would be the starter coming out of spring ball.

I like Brooks' versatility and his ability to catch balls coming out of the backfield, but it's hard for me to imagine him as the featured back. Ball security and speed are a concern there.
I like Davidson's under dog story, but he just didn't have the size or the moves to account for his lack of size.
What the heck do I know though. For all I know both of those dudes may have improved greatly since last season.

Davidson has very good moves. He will perform well and did this past season when given the opportunity. At times looked to be the best back on the team.

My thoughts exactly. We have a true freshman that will compete for playing time as a true freshman in the fall, Adam Choice.

Is Choice

Already at Clemson ? If not , I doubt he comes in this summer and has a legitimate shot at significant playing time. No , Brooks , CJ and Wayne Gallman are the go to guys here. Also , reattached achilles heal at different rates so I am told...its not at all out of the realm of possibility that Dye will be a go come opening weekend against the Dawgs.

I'm right there with you Tigerdug23. However, my only concern is that, even if Dye heals quickly and makes a full recovery in time for Georgia, I'm not sure he'd have a chance to get back in playing shape (in terms of cardio, taking hits full-time, etc). Also, how well would he know the playbook by then? Right when he was in the process of learning it, he got injured and couldn't even begin doing basic run-through, non-contact drills until a couple of months ago.
What're your thoughts? You think he'd be ready in time?

I agree. Isn't he almost at like 220 lbs now? Because if so, that would be right where Dye was at before his ankle injury. And at 6'1 just like Dye, Gallman would essentially be the exact same combination of speed and power that we were hoping to get out of Dye when fully healthy.
So basically, as long as Gallman stays healthy, we haven't really lost Dye at all. Don't you love how Dabo and Co. always seem to find a steal in the recruiting classes.
Also, in addition to Choice, let's not forget Oglesby: the kid is a dynamic runner; and could end up functioning like a Percy Harvin kind of role as a home-run threat coming out of the backfield.

That's the second time I've heard that guy's name. Haven't seen much on him though. He's a 2015 verbal right?

No he is enrolled and on campus. He will be the starter. Bank on it.

I think CJ Davidson looks great.

He looks quick, shifty and flat out fast to me. I think he will be the surprise walk-on of the decade for Clemson.
