That actually does describe most of the posts... LOL
I hate to speculate on current players as it relates to transferring, but both would seem likely if they don't want to be around and not play. I don't really see a path to playing time for either, except possibly for Gantt in the slot. Time will tell.
I'm pretty certain Clemson recruited him to play slot receiver...
Recruited does not necessarily mean offered. If I remember his recruitment correctly he picked us very early and shut it down, so other schools probably didn't have much incentive to push hard for him. He's a guy I've always thought would end up a dynamite AB once he put on some more muscle. I see guys like him, Cottrell, Jarrett, etc being used as slot/RB hybrids...think what we saw from Pitt with Quadree Henderson. I actually think we'll look very similar to the type of offense Pitt showed us the last few years with a RB heavy attack, lots of guys coming across in motion looking for mismatches, only with a more athletic QB.According to 247 Sports, Gantt did not get an offer from Clemson.

I think a couple of those running backs could transfer out when it becomes certain that they wont be startingIt's sort of unique to try to speculate this, but if we assumed for a moment that all of these kids were to stay and not transfer out, where would you project each of our scholarship RB's to play position wise next year? The most common places would be staying at RB, playing FB (likely for some of the BB's), or possibly moving to slot receiver or maybe DB? I seriously doubt we'll have 12 guys playing RB when we'll likely only have 1 on the field the vast majority of the time.

Consistency is all the members really ask for. When posts and posters are cherry picked by mods is where the confusion is. Animals post is straight up trolling according to your quoted post right here. Consistency is all that is needed.
Edelman?
Gronk?
LOL

One more thing: I think Jarrett ends up returning punts next year.
If you look at his high school film, he's dy-no-mite doing returns. I was never sure why Paul didn't put him back there; probably something to do with Stewart having such sure hands and his size. We'll see, of course, but I don't know if the new staff will have a similarly risk averse mindset on returns.
This is reassuring that we are not going to scrap the qb keeper which was 40 % of our plays. As Coach said he left us with athletes .Good article by Ken on Patenaude and what his thoughts are on the transition ---

No reason to risk a starting safety on return duty. In fact, I suspect he won't be doing much returning next year except in close games. But I suppose he could be converted to a strictly return guy. I could live with that, though I wouldn't feel good about not having him on the field for most of the D snaps.I’d bet on Juanyeh.
