I accept we are talking about Tnet, but I can't get past TAM, FSU and others that demonstrated pretty clearly that NIL and the portal isn't as certain as it might seem

Both those schools take more than 4-5 a year. No one is arguing to be like them. There is a happy medium here.

Clemson's appeal is the family aspect, so I definitely wouldn't want a bunch of randoms showing up to my house for a party then I never see them again.
On the other hand, maybe we could go the sister-wife (you know, just to help around the house and stuff)?

Kind of like freshman that transfer after a year or two right? We shouldn’t recruit them either? If Clemson’s culture is as strong as we believe adding a handful of transfers won’t mess it up

we are using it. just have not got the few guys we did recruit. clemson will never be heavy in the portal thank god. i do not see it as a way to build a program. those doing it will crash to earth imo. yhat being said nothing wrong with picking up choice guys at positions of need. hey if you love the portal go pull for the coots. they seem to be good at it. how is it working out for them.

I’m as devoted as a Clemson fan I could be but, given we have done nothing to improve the talent on the offensive line and development of wideouts, and the lack of depth at some positions on defense that could’ve been addressed with experienced transfers, I’m capping us at 10-2

If we're able to get portal players without a bidding war, then I'm all for it. But that's not possible considering our NIL situation at the moment.

NC State just got Grayson McCall and a very good RB (Waters) from Duke. Does NC State have more resources than Clemson? Is Dave Doeren more charismatic and a better recruiter than Dabo? lol
If freaking Ole Miss can dominate the transfer portal, there's no reason why Clemson can't snag 2 or 3 players. You can't tell me that Ole Miss has THAT much more NIL money than Clemson.
The scholarship thing is also completely bogus. That's 100% a choice by the coaching staff. If they wanted to they could absolutely prioritize holding back a few scholarships for portal usage. They've chosen not to do so.

If FSU didn't have Coleman, we beat them last year.
If teams with key portal players used to beat us can't convince this crowd, then nothing will.
I am convinced that the pumpers don't care if we go 7-5, 8-4, or have the 50th-ranked offense for 4 years in a row, as long as Dabo utters the words "Best to Come", they happy.
Ignore the complete lapse in roster management all you want but don't expect to win the ACC without having a recent backup DE.

We don't get the best ones all the time out of HS either. There is still good talent to be had without paying an arm for it. Look at the NFL. How may 5-7 round picks wind up as starters?

They don’t? Who pays dabos salary? If the people giving the money voices get loud enough they will most definitely get heard. Let 8-4 seasons continue to happen. Ever heard of a guy named Tommy Bowden.

That’s 19 off the top of my head that have NO business being on scholarship at Clemson.
We were THE premier program in college football just 3/4 short years ago and now almost a 1/4 of our roster is littered with guys that are mid major level.
People ask constantly who do we get rid of to open up schollys for the portal… well that list I just gave is a d@mn good place to start.
Not a single one of those guys would be on scholarship at UGA/Bama/Ohio St/Michigan. That is the level we were playing on and people actually wonder why we’ve fallen off.
That’s bc almost 25% of our roster should be on scholarship at App St and Coastal Carolina.

Do you want to win again or not? Do you want to be 7-5 or 8-4 again? Who GAS if a non contributor gets run off? When studs leave you, why should you be loyal to anything but doing what it takes to win? Dabo is still trying to pretend and operate this thing like it’s 2018.

This is an idiot take. Business is business. I would tell my kid to transfer and move on. If he can’t cut the mustard he doesn’t have a future in football. Time to concentrate on the books. Pacifying an adult as a parent is dumb as ####. And yes I have kids.

That list is ridiculous.
First off, some of those young players are going to be very good. Second, every team needs scout team players. Third, every team has some busts.
Cole Turner will be a freshman again next year. A guy who has been in the program two years, is one of the fastest players on the team and was the star of ACC Championship Game a year ago. I am not sure who we would get with more potential than Haynes. Adams or Green that will be willing to sit behind Mafah. Little ETN was not coming to Clemson to sit behind Mafah. Cade Denoff is a solid player who has been in the program 4 years. DE is thin from a depth perspective but we should run off a player who has been productive at the position? Gunn was the Freshman All America kick off specialist. We tend to focus on his FG struggles but he was very productive kicking off. I can’t imagine Jack Smith is on scholarship.
The reality is we have some players who have not lived up to their recruiting ranking and won’t see the field at Clemson, but that list is short.

...on THIS team. Would not have sniffed the field in 2016-2020.
The point the poster is trying to make is that we have slowly but surely replaced great players with mid-tier players since 2020. Many of us have been sounding the alarms, for a while now but everything is ok in pumperville.
Now about 20% of our roster is dead weight, making us unable to upgrade using the portal even if we wanted too.

We were THE premier program in college football just 3/4 short years ago and now almost a 1/4 of our roster is littered with guys that are mid major level.
People ask constantly who do we get rid of to open up schollys for the portal… well that list I just gave is a d@mn good place to start.
Not a single one of those guys would be on scholarship at UGA/Bama/Ohio St/Michigan. That is the level we were playing on and people actually wonder why we’ve fallen off.
That’s bc almost 25% of our roster should be on scholarship at App St and Coastal Carolina.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Geez can you give at least half of them time to get on the field?...

Those who want to win on an elite level. Some of us are not satisfied with 9-4.

And “NIL” over and over again because they think that’s the ticket to the CFP.

there are other simpletons that can't grasp the concept of using the portal to plug holes and and depth -those same simpletons think that those advocating to use the portal what to use it like FSU and Colorado.

NIL and the portal is literally the winning ticket in college football now...### is wrong with you people?? What have you been watching the past 3-4 years....WE lost to Duke for Christ sake...who had, you guessed it,...portal players! Wake up man! Swinney had to pick the pockets of App St literally 24 hours before signing day to fill out three scholarship spots... Dabo has been left completely behind...

all of them. It really has gotten back to the old days, where whoever showed up with the biggest brown paper bag full of money had the best shot.

Didn't we lose our top portal OL target to Georgia Tech?

Not Georgia, Georgia TECH. Does Georgia Tech have significantly more NIL resources than Clemson?
Some of these narratives are out of control.

It totally depends on the need, the teams that are going all in on the Portal strictly rely on the portal every year to fill the majority of the entire team. We've done pretty well keeping our main starters for multiple years and most guys aren't transferring just for depth. Sure we could use a guy like Caleb Downs and come in right away and start, but we aren't getting into any bidding wars over the star players either. We are what we are, recruiting reliant only and hope they pan out like previous years.

Do you intentionally under sign a class to leave a few for the gamble that a better player comes available in the portal?
I don't have an answer on that one.

The better question is why are we in this situation to begin with.

85 on scholley without quality backups in many position groups. Poor roster management.

I remember the Coach Charlie Pell years I was coaching high school football very close to the Clemson area alumni were buying players parents washing machines and dryers, cars, tractors etc! That’s what the portal reminds of! So instead of buy tickets and joining IPTAY send your money to the players that want money to play at Clemson! I have four coot friends have invested a million into helping the coots get players out of the portal!

Imagine how much impact the million dollars your Coot friends could have if they had been passionate about some other charitable cause. Instead they pissed it away on a 5-7 at best football program.

not sure what else needs to be said about it
What is David Hood’s occupation again ? The dude can even get us a website that doesn’t look like it’s straight out of 2004. He can keep his opinions to himself. Dude knows very little about football and it is very clear in press conferences when he is wrong about virtually every technical thing he asks

You like to complain. You should go to the FGF website. Might be more suitable for you.

Where is your $500k check to 110 Society for one of these Bama players? Or $1M check for Julian Sayin? Can you post a picture of it?
Unless folks on TNET are ponying up $100's of thousands of dollars, then you don't have any business complaining about how Dabo spends whatever NIL resource funds he has access to.
Elite players come to Clemson bc of the culture Dabo has built. And we've heard they're "competitive" in NIL according to recruits families who've been interviewed.

SC Tax dollars fund his top 5 salary.

He should be fielding a team that is competitive with his salary.
He chooses how to do it, but if he doesn't, he is not beyond criticism and no one is above the program.

the real question is "how much is he giving to our NIL program?"
Money essentially dictates how much we can use the portal.

Dabo is. The problem is that he’s playing by the rules and not offering the kids before they enter the portal. And he’s not relying on it like others have done.
