It is my understanding that Clemson has made several offers to players from the Portal in recent times. The fact that we got none indicates they don't want any part of Clemson's culture, OR they were looking for money we were not willing to provide them. Either way, I am ok with them not being here, given those conditions.

which is odd, because Dabo has been clear, the message has not changed, and his actions support this. Writers make money by generating views/clicks, which is why we have hot takes and misleading headlines. It's easy to fall prey to these tactics, but we don't have to, we can exercise common sense.

It would be one thing if Dabo's way was working, but it isn't. Since the portal rules changed a few years ago, allowing players to transfer without sitting out a year, we've underachieved every year.

30 wins out of a possible 40 isn’t that great for a program that spends what we do on football and has our history of recent high level success.

We’ve underachieved three years in a row. We’ve increased our number of losses each year pretty consistently since 2018. That’s not a good trend.

Apparently, part of our recruiting pitch is we don't grab players out of the portal to replace players currently on the roster. It allows us to get commitments from top tier players like Woods, Parker, Wesco and Moore without having a ton of NIL $ to offer. I don't believe we have the NIL funding to compete with Ohio, UGA, Texas, etc so we have to play our game...not theirs. The question is will we field a better team using Dabo's current method or try to play the NIL game in the portal like everyone else? Keep in mind fans are disappointed over the results the last few years but his was the result of poor covid recruiting, a couple of questionable coaching hires and two 5* QBs who did not (yet in Cade's case) who did not live up to their star billing.

Improvement of our roster through the portal would mean the Walk-ons and Daniel HS kids would have to go to Furman, Wofford, S.C. State, etc. and would bring that superior talent back to Clemson in the fall and beat our brains out with it.

Under the current system of no portal upgrades, these games will be more competitive and another NATY is but a pipe dream.

And that is only 1-2 below. There are plenty of Daniel/ walkons on the roster. It is a myth that those guys are on scholarship though. We are no different than the other teams in the regards to walkons on scholarship - it is very minimal and a non-factor. Now do we have some talent misses and depth concerns at certain positions - maybe. I don’t personally like our QB room at the moment and OL is ? but Dabo seems to think he can make it work. I just think our ceiling is limited below the elite level by QB which means we have to rely on a great D to make up for it. Can’t afford injuries at QB or to certain OL.

It's just weird seeing so many argue that we're fine while we have regressed every year since the portal became a thing. We've been 3-4 players the last 3 seasons from making the playoffs.
