Front Page Story: Hearn sees an opportunity on Clemson's offensive line

Hearn sees an opportunity on Clemson's offensive line

Taylor, a 2014 Clemson offensive line commitment, thinks he has what it takes to contribute early for the Tigers, and with right tackle Giff Timothy retiring from playing, it could be next season. Full Story »

So our best OL recruit this year is a Shrine Bowl backup to two USC recruits and a Florida recruit? So much for getting tough and winning in the trenches. Why are we taking Two OL a year and 10 DB's a year??????

We must stop these kids from going to Southern Cal


Dec 17, 2013, 10:14 AM

And stay home.

Sick of this!

Probably because our secondary is consistently more bad

than our OLine is.

If you think our Secondary has been consistently more bad than our OL, than you have only watched a couple years of Clemson Football. Our OL has been below average to average the last 20 years. I agree on the star ratings not holding a ton of weight for OL, but why are we taking only TWO. Didn't we just lose two OL this year to career ending injuries?

<< Didn't we just lose two OL this year to career ending injuries? >>

Yes and 2 to graduation, and Mclain moved to OL from TE and Gore moved to OL from DL! 2 commits for this class.. we lost 4 gained 4! The numbers are in line with most other programs out their we do not need numbers but I agree we need a better OL. But the problem is not the numbers we have.

We were also low on numbers at DB last year, WR this year

I'm getting kind of tired of the people who have complained about recruiting on the lines when we're already relatively deep on the lines. Meanwhile, we've cleaned up at the positions of need (DB, WR, LB), and they still complain about that because apparently having a full roster of skill players makes us "soft." Nevermind how stacked we are on the DL, or the fact that we're only losing one guy off of the OL again this year.

star ratings are particularly meaningless for linemen***

You'll see a 5-star OL like Robert Crisp at NCSU go


Dec 17, 2013, 6:27 PM

his whole college career and never really contribute, then you'll see a guy who came out of high school under-weight, under-coached, and under-rated, become a high NFL draft pick and an anchor on some pro team for years.

Last year we were way short on DBs! We are not taking 10 DBs this year!
I have no doubt that if we can get a commit from a 4* or 5* OL we will take them. There are not many of them and we do need some but our numbers on the OL are fine. We have about 17 after losing Timothy and this years commits. We are likely to take 4 or 5 next year.

High School vs College


Dec 17, 2013, 3:21 PM

Problem is, its hard to prepare against the size and
speed in HS you'll go up against in college. Won't
say he can't play as a true fr. Its just hardly unlikely.

not big enough on OL huh?.....


Dec 17, 2013, 5:50 PM

Um...
Taylor Hearn 6'6 315 incoming freshman
Tyrone Crowder 6'2 340 RS FR
Justin Falcnetti 6'6 305 incoming freshman
Maverick Morris 6'5 315 RS FR
Jay Guillermo 6'3 300 RS FR
I'd say were getting there...

If another school gets a "better" lineman we aren't


Dec 18, 2013, 3:20 PM

"good enough" to many who post here it seems. They covet what the other team has without really looking hard at what we have.

We are doing better each year. Until we know more about the 2015 class, and until we see how the current squad turns out injury and development-wise, I can't say we have a future problem. Many nervous Nellies here already have determined we do.
