Yes I know let's get through 2017 blah blah blah but man, just look at this rooster:


QB Rosier (Sr) - Perry (RFr) - Shirreffs (Jr) - Weldon (RFr)
RB Homer (Jr) - Lingard (Fr) - Davis (Fr) - Gray (RSr) - Burns? (RFr) - Dallas? (So)
WR Richards (Jr) - Thomas (So) - Harley (So) - Langham (RSr) - Mullins (Jr) - Njoku (RFr) - Pope/Hightower/Wiggins/etc. (Fr)
TE Jordan (Fr) - Mallory (Fr) - Irvin? (Jr) - Polendy (So) - Patchan? (RJr)
OL Donaldson (So) - St. Louis (Sr) - Gaynor (So) - Gauthier (Sr) - Mahoney (RJr) - Herbert (RFr) - Reed (Fr) - Scaife (Fr)
DL JoeJack (Jr) - DJ Johnson (So) - Patchan (RJr) - DJack (RSr) - Willis (Sr) - Bethel (Jr) - Ford (So) - Garvin (So) - Silvera (Fr)
LB Shaq (Jr) - Pinckney (Jr) - McCloud (Jr) - Wilder (So) - Perry (Sr) - Jennings (So) - Gordinier (RJr) - Owens (RSr) - Smith (RSr)
DB Bandy (So) - Young (Jr) - Jackson (Sr) - Redwine (Sr) - Jaquan (Sr) - Dean (Sr) - Carter (So) - Smith (So) - Finley (Jr) - Jobe/Hall/Frierson/Blades/etc. (Fr)



Assuming Walton, McIntosh, and Norton all leave (worst-case) this still has to be the on-paper favorite to win the ACC next year.

Cot ****! Would be sweet if one of Norton or McIntosh stays.

This lools much more like a UM rooster.
 
couple things,

1 - Would be really nice to get a couple GOD **** LINE BACKER COMMITS so we can push the Owens and Smiths of our roster to seek playing time post graduate somewhere that could give them some run.

Which is what I suspect will happen to choc, even though burns shouldn't even be counted as a scholarship athlete with the liklihood of him taking snaps.

b - FSU will be the acc favorite next year for everyone outside our fan base. We are not there yet.

Holy crap.. We are 6-0!!! Can we enjoy THIS season first.



Please feel free to scroll past this thread.

Apparently some folks can appreciate the current season AND be super excited about what many believe will be an even stronger roster next season. As a moderator, I typically see these threads during the BYE week. (not the BYU week :topsy_turvy: ). Since we dont really get a bye week, I guess the 1-6 UNC game week is the best chance to think about this stuff. lol
 
St. Louis at LT
Gaynor at LG
Gauthier at C
Donaldson at RG
Herbert or Brown at RT

And OP let's get through 2017 first and then we can worry about 2018.
 
both our dts aren't going the 1st few rounds. how many times does a team lose 2 jr dts and they both go in the 1st 2 rounds.

Miami fans cant walk and chew gum at the same time
 
Move Carter to LB PLEASE. We need his toughness at LB in terms of hard hitting and physically at LB. Carter is a great tackle and a thumper. Replace McCloud with Carter. We need to run more of a 4-2-5 scheme. I've given up on McCloud tbh. He didn't impress me last year as a Fr. (I didn't understand the love affair for him when he started all year and only had like 30 tackles) maybe I'm overreacting but McCloud's job need to be up for competition right now but I don't think Perry, Owens, or Smith can beat him out. If we close with the DB we have committed put Finley and Carter at LB because they will be to slow compared to Hall, Jobe, Frierson etc to play DB on this team.

McCloud according to sports-preference is 14th on the team in tackles with JUST 14 total tackles and he has started every game this year. What is worse is I've probably seen him miss about that many tackles to.
