Charlie Jones probably skews Williams' numbers. Boy, numbers ram home the fact that I wouldn't trade our "triplets"(Shrader, Tucker, Gadsden) for anyone's right now. We may have lost a few important cogs for the season, but with our Big 3, and the O-Line still intact, we've got a chance to keep rolling.

Mikel is so so good. And so fun to watch.

I agree, underrated... Ridiculous!

 

[UpstateSM]

Mikel is my favorite Cuse football player ever

 

[Yeti]

That's a lot of top 15 nationally's for a bunch of players that weren't seen as top nationally when recruited.

Also i refuse GW's rating.

And Szmyt is the best kicker in the country. Because i said so.

Thats insane. On PFF we're usually lucky to have a guy in the top 100. Good year.

 

[orange_in_VA]

That is unreal to see on paper. Thanks for sharing. Wow

 

[upperdeck]

We have lots of nice pieces.. Really if we had a take off the top WR and/or Passing rush DE that forced teams to really think about doubling we would have something and its pretty good right now.

One sanity check they should be doing is to line up the average grades (weighted by the importance of the position) they give and compare to rankings of teams

This many highly ranked players seems implausible to me. A QB RB wr and tackle ranked that high should result in a complete offensive juggernaut

 

[Rocco]

Mikel and Wax are true studs. Same goes for GW, Stef Thompson, Tucker & Bergeron. All 6 will get long NFL looks.

I think Lowery and Linton make some major waves next year. Both have incredible size and athleticism. Linton‘s style is a bit similar to how Chan played.

Gadsden has the tools to play at the next level. Another relative unknown making waves.

Tons of potential at DT for years to come, but I would love to see a NT-type transfer in the offseason. We need a big boy jamming up the middle.

We need to capitalize on our success this year with a solid recruiting/transfer class. Now is the time to keep this going.

I can’t remember this much NFL potential on the same team. It’s been decades.

 

[NKR1978]

We're looking at having 4-6 All Americans. Not too shabby.

 

[MSOrange]

 

[721Comstock]

Clemson O - irresistible force.
Syracuse D - immovable object.

This could end up another one of those 27-24 games.

Here’s hoping we’re the 27 (again) if that comes to pass.

LFGO!!!!
MOB RULES!! Tigers drool!

We sort of do though if not for turnovers, right?

We're also ranked 14th and undefeated so I think it kind of fits.

 

[upperdeck]

the one thing we dont do as an offense is really generate huge plays.. Other than Tucker we dont really have home run guys, What we do though is generate a ton of plays in the 10-25 yd range.

That's one of reasons I'd like to see Hatcher and Adams getting more snaps going forward. Both can stretch the field more than Jackson, Cooper, Queeley, or Hayes.

Umm...what do you call Gadsden?

Part of the issue is while it seems the oline is grading out well. If you really watch the whole field there are a bunch of plays where WR are getting open 25+ but the pass blocking fails. We probably had 4-5 plays last week with WRs running wide open in the deeper half and no way to get them the ball.
