What if Dabo went "all in" on the portal

...... and the results were the same or worse ..... as in Florida States case. Would all of these Tnet geniuses who knew that the portal was the answer now be on the portal bandwagon? Sorry, but I had to ask.

If you were paying attention you really didnt have to ask

To a person everyone who is in favor of using the portal is so in moderation; no one is advocating for 30 transfers a year

Sorry had to point that out.

I think most here were in favor of using it selectively ..... as was I. I was also in favor of Dabo honoring his commitment to the players whose homes he went into and made promises to them and their family.

It is a shame that you resorted to name calling of fellow tiger fans and the use of a made up narrative which no one has openly supported to try and make a point

Yes, you are right, I could have worded it differently. Maybe not the worst case of name calling though, as many of us have been accused of worse. Feel free to call me a genius!)-:

What promises would Dabo be breaking by using the portal?!?

He isn’t going into recruits’ homes and promising them a guaranteed number of games played or a starting role. He is promising them a chance to compete, get better, and earn a degree.

You apparently haven’t read TNet. All portal all the time! No would should ever come to Clemson straight from High School.
Heck the optimum is to turn the entire team over in the portal every year!

Yeah, the results would be the same.

The dumpers would say 'We didn't mean that,' and the pumper would say, "I told you so."

Same argument just swap sides.

The geniuses act like there was this huge change. Dabo used the portal exactly as he has been saying he was using. Just a few guys to plug holes. This year he was fortunately that they wanted to come to Clemson to you ("they gotta like you too"). He also, has been using NIL exactly like he said, to retain players, all starters not going to NFL came back. They want to act like its such a big change from his philosophy but its actually right in line with what he has saying all along.

I’m sure we didn’t change anything about the way we approached the portal to land guys who were also pursued by top tier SEC and B1G schools. You must be right it was just serendipity and nothing else.

Dont know what that guy is smoking but it was strong enough to make him believe Dabo singed top tier portal players based on culture and his good looks

Sorry ..... have no idea what you are talking about. Many here were quite upset because Dabo did not use the portal ......... fact.

Would those same people be upset if he used the portal and we had the same record? I say probably, but that is speculation, just as you do in many of your posts.

Where is the disconnect?

a coach who is doing all he can legally to make our program better.

Because whether you are willing to admit it or not, our program has declined significantly over the past four years. That is incredibly frustrating for many of us who are passionate about Clemson football and being one of the best programs in the country. We should not have a coach who digs his heels in and refuses to use one of the avenues now available to bring in talented and experience players when it is clear that they could help us.

There are many players in the portal that wouldn't help our team at all. He only needs to get what we need that is as good or better than what we already have!!!

That’s when they would p*ss and Moab and say Dabo used it too much, and how stupid and arrogant he was, to do so. They would say the game’s psssed him by, and how stubborn he is.

Using the portal doesn't guaranteed elite success, but not using it makes elite success much more difficult.

It's the old Carpenter Problem dilemma.
If you inky have a hammer in your toolbox, it forces you to treat every problem like a nail.

That's great untill you need a screwdriver, pliers, a saw, or a drill.
