Is the question straight up BEST player with Dabo? Or "greatest" player (leader, changed the program, ect.)?

3-4 more years from now it's going to be really hard to name

only 10 w the studs you just mentioned plus the studs on campus. Theres 4 or 5 on the team that will certainly be vying for a spot on the list.

DW, Mike Williams, the great Scott, Mac Alexander, potentially Lawson (i think he kills it this year), Kearse, and then potentially Hyatt, Wilkins, Cain, and R2M3.

Very good list; surprised you don't have Watson.

Although I imagine you might this following season.
I'm torn between Spiller & Sammy though; I think I'd almost put them at least tied or Sammy over Spiller just because of that bad #### play against Georgia. Spiller did have all those yards & kick returns for TDs but Sammy had some really big games & numbers as well.

interject to acknowledge and TU a serious triple L post. Wow, I'm astonished. Thanks for posting thoughtful insight for once. I agree with you too... its a toss up between CJ and Sammy, but I give the nod to CJ for sticking around for all 4 years.

I'd definitely include DW and Mac after next year

can't quite put DW on here yet after only half a season
Sammy is a bad #### indeed, but there's no way anybody could knock him off that top spot, not just in the Dabo era but all time as well

I had Allen at 7 or 8 but kept bumping him down...he was like Bowers and had one truly great season among flashes of brilliance before

1. CJ
2. Sammy
3. Beasley (2-time consensus AA and all-time sack leader)
4. Bowers (Nagursky and Hendricks winner, Unanimous AA)
5. Allen (Mackey winner, consensus AA)
6. Boyd
7. Hopkins
8. Anthony
9. Ellington
10. Jarrett

No way Boyd is that low

I see what you were going for in putting the consensus all americans higher up the list, but I can't get on board with ranking Boyd behind Allen or even Bowers...each of those 2 guys had one really great year, but Boyd was the key cog in the wheel for 3 years, won an ACC title, 2 Orange Bowl games, ACC player of the year....
