UNC should spend some NIL money on corners and a real QB.

Louisville fielded one of the best defenses in the ACC last year with two UNC transfers starting in the secondary. They gave up huge plays at UNC. It's not a talent issue. It's not a positional coaching issue either. I thought it was Dre Bly's fault. He's gone now and it got even worse.

That is a fair point.

It’s a double edge sword with Dabo….he plays more players than any coach in college football.  He was onto backups and 3rd stringers in the 3rd quarter. 

But I think that hurts Clemson in the polling.  Because dominate wins end up looking like less dominate as opponents score vs our depth

Mack has not fielded even a decent defense since he got here.  Bubba has to grow a pair and get him out of here asap.  Are they gonna ignore football?  

He got the program out of the gutter and back to middling level but it looks like he has put us right back in the gutter again. The point of bringing Mack back at his age was to get the program back on track but I fear we waited too long to try to shift to a long-term option.

But if you don't play them you lose them to the portal anyway.

Just noticed that Sheduar Sanders is the highest paid athlete in college football (5.1m).  Something just doesn’t sit right with me when his dad brokers that kinda of money for his son.

Colorado is on Nat'l tv damn near every week. They are making the NCAA a ton of money. Not surprising as Sanders is probably the most popular college athlete on social media.

The money is ok for me. What bothers me is his dad putting his son first and the team second. That is not ok for all the other players on the team. But that is also not surprising considering who his dad is.

The entire thing is a talent show and branding venture for the Sanders family

Deion can’t do basic game managment.  He does highlight my son managment 

the entire O is designed to stat pad his son.   The reason the OL “sucks”‘ despite buying talent and playing in a weak conference….is they don’t run real run plays or attempt balance….and  the QB holds the ball and takes sacks to keep his stats up 

and Deion will be exposed just like he was at Jackson St when he leaves after this year.  It’s just a family thing.

    • Honestly, I have only one pair of white shoes (only because they were new and like $4 from the Goodwill) other than my easily-cleaned Crocs. A man's got to think ahead.
    • Down to Carolina and Washington for Ehlers. 
    • Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.
