"W Sheldon Clark
Return Skyles, but lose Mikie Moore, Austin Stepp, Channing Stepp and Avery Ray. Those will be big losses, but this could be a good game because Skyles is a pretty talented back."

Sheldon Clark does in fact have some big holes to fill, and thus a challenging 2011 ahead. But they might be a little better than expected. They were very erratic last season; they beat some teams that no one thought they would, and lost to a couple teams that they should have beaten.

I saw a post on the BGR last year re Sheldon Clark's performance in the 2010 season, " Sheldon Clark is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get."

At the beginning of last season there were very high expectations, but they didn't materialize. This coming season I don't think the high expectations are there.

Sheldon Clark does, however, have some guys that that saw a lot of action last season and did a credible job.

In addition to KP Skyles, who was mentioned in the above quote, they are returning Taylor Chapman, Chase Lafferty, Jared Stevens, Tyler O'Connor, BJ Jarrell, and Todd Matthews, who just may surprise some people. I might have missed a couple that can contribute.

Unfortunately SC definitely needs some linemen to step up so as to have a wining season. SC will sure miss Channing Smith, who did a great job last year.
