Lately the Tigers are getting guys who love Clemson, but are they the best recruits. We are recruiting a lot of white guys who have a lot of heart, but the talent does not match. Linebackers are really starting to stick out as a position that we lack the talent and is often the weakest link on defense when we face other elite teams. The speed and athleticism of Georgia, Alabama, Ohio St. etc is much better at the position, not to mention the NFL seems to agree.
NC State this year, Ohio St last year, and LSU the year before beat Clemson because of Talent and heart, not with coaches son's or nice character guys that get to coach in the program one day. How the heck you recruit in the Top 10 every year, but end up with 3 star guys playing 7 years.
The offensive skill guys and the D-line has carried the team for years, the O-line and LB's who look a lot like BYU don't measure up

Ask the NFL that same question. Looks dominate by one side, just like baseball and or soccer.

As of 2020 MLB demographics lined up fairly closely

with the country on race, with hispanics being overrepresented by about 13 percentage points while whites were underrepresented by 3% and blacks underrepresented by 6%.
Soccer is also extremely diverse (actual diversity, not "code for not-white" diversity), which makes sense as it's a global game.
Even the NFL is over 30% white.
Seems like you're probably just racist.

Two things…

1) ### does race have to do with it?
2) I don’t disagree - talent > heart

He's talking about Skalski and Spector, smart, big hearts and absolutely a liability on pass coverage, jet sweeps and the like.

You are the biggest moron I have met on this board ever! You are crying about linebackers? We have had studs at linebacker for a long time now. Anothny, Simmons, Simpson. Ben and James are great college backer. You need to be prescribed Medicine. We loss those games to more talented team. Look at what you he receivers lsu are doing in the nfl. Same thing with OSU. We have won our fair share of games. We have beat those same OSU and Bama in teams.

Linebackers stick out as a problem to you? Young guys like Trenton Simpson, Barrett Carter, and Jeremiah Trotter Jr are exceptional for their age and can only get better. Do you mind explaining how the LB corps is our problem? Not trying to hate, but genuinely curious about how you came to this conclusion…

It’s pretty funny to think of the number of games we’ve won

because in the last drive, an absolutely worn out Clemson Linebacker made an amazing play.
Honestly I’m not sure why some of you watch this sport. There’s no way to please you.

It's the O-line and the LB's. O-line is another discussion. If our D-line doesn't play great or injuries come into play our LB's have been exposed in the run and passing game. If we don't have safeties that are good tacklers we have more L's on the board.
I know it's obvious the offense this year hasn't performed the best, but I believe they will be better.
Clemson has D-linemen and Secondary all over the NFL, but their may be one or two who get playing time
