Just a fun stat from the above link

31 SC players have been drafted since Spurrier got here. (8 Seasons)

That's as many that were drafted b/w 1989-2004. (14 seasons)


Also, the 13 players we had drafted in the last 2 classes is the most players we've ever had drafted in a 2 year span.


Is that counting the ones who will be drafted this year?

Let's say ...

Clowney, Quarles, Hampton and Ellington all leave early and are drafted.

Plus Legree, Patrick, Sutton and maybe Shaw are drafted.

That's seven or eight more. That's pretty impressive. It says a lot.

That's for the '11 and '12 draft. 7 were drafted in '12 and 6 were drafted in '11.

Of the guys for this year, I see getting drafted (at this point in time.)

Clowney
Quarles
Hampton
Legree
Shaw

I think that Ellington will also get drafted late if he goes and IF he gets a Combine invite. No invite, little chance.

Sutton: I don't see him getting a Combine invite and I don't see him playing in the NFL. The same with Partick. Hopefully I'm wrong and they all get a Combine invite or get drafted.

This is why people don't understand our success sometimes. Other teams' fans think when the Lattimore's and Jeffery's of the world leave our team the winning will just stop. But it hasn't because we have way more depth than anyone is going to give us credit for. Why?

1) Because our recruiting classes are never highly ranked and people put a lot of stock in those recruiting services
2) We're SC. And because we're SC they just assume that we'll never have as much talent as everyone else.
