Sporting News breakout players for '17

[7Samurai13]

Nice click bait at the bottom....

I had a choice between "No. 1 recruit Rashan Gary down to two schools" and some bitch piece about how "Minnesota" running back Adrien Peterson doesn't get it.

Way to stay current Sporting News.

Updated from last weeks which has "Why it was a good deal for the Redskins to trade up to get RG3"

Apparently we suck. We'll be lucky to make it to the Rice-A-Roni Bowl.

I HAVE noticed that Clemson isn't being mentioned much at all as far as a possible repeat champion. It's not like Dabo has been stinking it up on the recruiting trail.

McCall is a great pick for OSU, though Parris Campbell is largely considered the biggest breakout performer for OSU's offense with some.

You are highly underestimating how good Watson was. He was playing out of his mind both of the national title games. It is not going to be a simple "plug and play" system like Alabama where the defense dominates, great running backs and just need a game manager under center and a non-drunk/non-brain-thinking-about-the-next-job-and-all-the-coeds-he's-going-to-bang calling plays.

Nah I get how good he was no question but I also get where Clemson (and FSU for that matter) stand in their conference. Either one could and prob should be in contention for a conference title/playoff spot every year imo.

You know what I never understand? Well I do actually, is why they dont post last years list of "Breakout Players"...

We got one. Natty is ours.

Or the Junior Jabbie curse.

They did lose a ton, and while they've pulled in good classes, they haven't been pulling in back to back top 10 classes. They'll probably need a season or so to get back to that level.
