Its time for folks to quit messing with Dabo and whom he recruits or plays. Everytime and i mean EVERYTIME someone doubts Dabo it just blows up in their face and they have to eat crow. So welcome aboard Amir, and thanks for being ALL IN!!

I'm quite certain CM had more to do with that then people
Jan 4, 2015, 8:34 PM
|
|
admit. Part of the problem was CM trying to get a pocket passers-by with limited mobility to run an option game rather than changing the game plan to what said pocket passer was capable of. I kept saying he has the tools, and he does and would make a good NFL backup, but not the decision making capabilities of running an option.

go back and watch the available video

when asked about Watson , Chad body language changes drastically and he begins the "paid his dues" babble that Dabo was spewing. Chad wanted Watson on the field and Dabo overrode his decision.

and while I like CM, he trained our current OC's for 4 years, he's no QB coach. Streeter proved he was a better QB coach in just a couple of weeks with Cole. That doesn't mean that Chad is not a great OC, he's just one that has to have a QB to fit his system.Even Boyd was going somewhere else each off season to get trained by other experts.

I'm pretty sure Dabo recruited Watson. Am I wrong...did you recruit him? Dabo has a pretty recruiting record. I'd agree there are likely more highly rated players who would love the scholly, but I think I'll let Dabo do his job.

This why is getting the chance to greyshirt. James as all of you know, is a part of the program as the life coach (team pastor).

You are missing the point we shouldn't take the unranked and low rated guys that have dads that played or worked at Clemson . If we go out and scout a guy like grady and think he's good enough to play then I have no problem with guy them a scholarship .

He comes with the reputation of being the best cover corner at the Shrine Bowl.
You may not remember his dad being a World Class sprinter. He has speed genes.

All this bitchin and moanin is really stupid. Praise Dabo and staff for having the 4th ranked recruiting class. Get pissed at Dabo and staff for taking a legacy recruit who MAY turn out to be pretty good and productive in the end. #### and let the staff do their jobs without having to listen to all this whining. Some of you sound like a bunch of coots. Hint Hint.

It doesn't hurt to have a collection of NFL talent that continues to associate with the program after they have moved on. It's good for recruiting to be able to show off a cadre of former NFL players when recruits come to visit. This is a big picture type deal. It's part of selling the Clemson program as a "family" which so many of our elite recruits have pointed out as being a special factor about Clemson. So while it may look like we are doing James Trapp a favor, in reality this move is just as beneficial to Clemson as it is to the Trapp family.

also and I think with the current recruiting atmosphere that Dabo will run headlong into that the 2016 class with D3 players taking scholarships from desparetly needed positions.

And say what you will about the wonderful players that have contributed to this most recent team, but guys like Grady and Cole are almost from a different era of CU football recruiting. We should be having to take less and less chances on recruits with this continued success.

The Ricky Sapp

who had been a Freshman All-American and was considered our best DE at the time.
And despite being behind Sapp and several other underclassmen as a reserve Branch still had the 4th most tackles for loss in the 2009 season as a sophomore.
But I forgot.....he didn't contribute until his junior year according to the self-appointed expert.

Just because he's James Trapp son doesn't mean he doesn't deserve a scholarship. Plus he's from Daniel and Dabo wants to keep the flow of talent from Daniel to Clemson open. Trapp played in the Shrine bowl this year and surprised the coaches with his talent. It could turn out this kid is a steal, but we shouldn't take him because his dad works at Clemson? Sorry I can't wrap my mind around that logic.

Trap's always had a Greyshirt offer .Question was, would he take the full ride he had offered at other schools.This has nothing to do with Fields, the Bama Recruit calling our coaches or any other DB over out there. He start school next January, redshirt his freshman year and contribute his last 3 years on campus. Besides all this,he looked better than all the more highly rated DB's at the Shrine Bowl this year. Our coaches know how to recruit.

We lose higher ranked players each year when they decide to transfer. We must backfill their spots with walk-on players. I doubt that Trapp will transfer with his family connections. Basically, he will be filling one of the scholarships that a walk-on would have.

So who does he play in front of
Jan 5, 2015, 12:52 AM
|
|
in 2016? Jadar Johnson , Marcus Edmund, Ryan Carter , Adrian Baker or Kaleb Chalmers ? Its the same lineup in 2017 so who does he jump ? I can promise you that he does'nt play against a D1 while he is here unless all of our starters are injured.

Who takes the scholarship of the player when he transfers after spring practice? More talented players will be ahead of Trapp and he will more than likely stay due to his family connections. Therefore, you will not need to spend a scholarship on a walk-on. Trapp is way better than 99.9% of our current walk-on players.

Every year we take kids just to add depth at certain positions
Jan 4, 2015, 6:39 PM

Also just because a kid is not highly rated, does not mean they can't play. This kid is underrated, and will be a solid backup in a few years and this is Dabo staying true to program being about family by bringing a legacy. This kind of thing happens alot, at almost every school so this not the first time Dabo has done this.

Those guys don't provide depth. They play or leave to play elsewhere. You need guys who are satisfied with playing a reserve role.

So let's not take 3 stars for depth we should instead take unranked players great .

Who are some of the 3 star players out there, who have strong enough ties to Clemson to keep them here regardless of playing time?

We have walk-on players on scholarship as well.
Jan 4, 2015, 8:00 PM

It's not because they are more talented than others that we signed. It's because others have decided to leave and freed up a scholarship for them. We will still sign enough 4 star guys to fill a two deep. Even 3 star guys (some not all) that are 3rd string will leave and walk-on players will take their scholarship. Trapp is more likely to stay and eliminate that one walk-on player scholarship. Trapp is better than your average walk-on.

You are trying to justify these unranked guys by saying they provide depth when in fact they don't
