T. Feaster.....

What are your expectations for him in 2016? Good 1-2 punch with Wayne Train or maybe just special teams (KOR)?

Honestly, I'm not expecting much this year. He's coming

off shoulder surgery and behind Gallman and Choice on the depth chart.I think he'll get touches in the passing game and a few rushing opportunities. If he does well, I would say he might be able to take over as Gallman's backup in the second half of the season, but that may be a stretch.

experience at RB. I think Feaster can be special, and it's possible that he could impress enough in practice to get some PT this year, but my gut tells me that both he and Clemson may be best served by a redshirt. We know Gallman is The Man. Choice, who was a starter as a freshman and with a couple of years in the system and Batson's strength and conditioning, AND a solid spring, is unquestionably the backup. Tyshon Dye and CJ Fuller are both tough, experienced RBs who have paid their dues and are champing at the bit. If Feaster gets any PT considering all of that, it truly means he's a special player.

Assuming he stays injury free, you're probably right. I stil

think he'll have a hard time getting carries at RB this year. If he's good enough and if he's ready, he will play, no doubt. I hope he is.

I think he's got the chance to be like CJ Spiller in his Freshman season. Gallman will no doubt be the main RB, but I think we may see Feaster used as a potential home-run threat. I wouldn't be surprised to see him getting 5-8 touches/game at the beginning of the season, with that increasing a bit throughout the year if he does knock out some long plays.

No special teams play??

We have NO punt return game or KOR game. Why not utilize his speed to get him acclimated to the speed of the game? The dude is a Gazelle!

I think we see McCloud (assuming he has better ball security) and Powell on KR/PR

disappointing aspect of our team. I think we are top 25 about in all aspects and top 10 in most. But not that. Very middling in both which amazes given the skill talent we have. definitely our worst aspect

Choice might be the most talented back on campus

GASP!!!!!
He was STARTING over Wayne before his injury two years ago (Choice's true freshman year), and he was actually ranked very similar to Feaster coming out (Feaster 102 in 2016, Choice 109 in 2014)
That being said, I think Feaster has a better all around game than Choice. But as a pure runner I actually like Choice.

I see special packages like wheel routes in his near future.
Feature back next year.

You are correct about blocking - until

Feaster can be trusted to block & do his share to protect DW - he's not gonna get many snaps.
