5 defensive players in the top 150 & I’d argue Jon Garvin & potentially Willis can be as good as any on the list for us this year. We’re very very talented this year on both sides of the ball. Don’t let anyone fool you.
First team defense looking ACC championship level. First team offense still missing that final OT, a go-to TE and a QB who can get the ball consistently to his playmakers. Richt should be able to address those gaps with the tools he has in his toolbox now. We should be stronger at the end of the season than to start it, as our talent depth is still heavily tilted to the Freshmen and Sophomores.
My stack ranking: Joe Jackson, AR15, Willis, Shaq, Thriller, Pinckney, Homer.
But don't count out Donaldson, Thomas, Garvin, Dallas and Bandy to take a big step, with D Smith, Patchan and Steed as dark horses. And these Freshmen are freaks. Most likely to succeed: Williams, Jordan, Frierson, Pope, Rousseau, Highsmith, Hall. Lots of talent everywhere now!
