At this point I think it would be better to save it for next year's class.

Wish him the best and it sounds like he's doing it for the right reasons. I do wish he would have made the move before NSD so we maybe could have added another player.

Probably a great opportunity to get closer to his daughter and get on the field somewhere. He really was right on the cusp, but honestly at this point he would have had a tough time getting on the field for us. Quite an accomplishment on his part to graduate. It leaves a lot of doors open for him.

I thought he would have seen significant playing time next year. Guess the coaches told him otherwise.

I doubt anything the coaches told him with regard to playing time was the issue. I think he probably wanted to be closer to home and looked at his experience here to this point along with the depth chart and made a solid decision. I guarantee he thinks he can line up and play with the best of them here, but the reality is there are players as good (and probably better) who are 2-3 years younger than him.

Once a Tiger always a Tiger. This is helpful to all the young talent we have looking for PT. Anyway, Baker will be missed. Hope he has a great year next year and makes it to the NFL. Anyway, where does his scholarship go? Punter?

good enough to get a scholarship at a Div 1 school this year versus a 4 or 5 star recruit next year.? Not like we got an abundance of 2018 scholarships.

Prior to baker transferring we were at 84 and Dabo said that the extra was for whoever won the punting job. I would assume that the extra scholly will go to a senior walk on for 2017.

What about Rencher? With the depth at RB, will that be a possibility? I know the coaches were high on him with his play on the scout team.

this kind of info would have been better for Clemson before National Signing Day. I wonder why he held out this info until now. Because I can't imagine that he just made this decision.

I mean this in a nice way, but the only way I can state it where it's a vivid pic is the ol "Carrot dangling out in front of the animal cartoon". Yes, I believe he is transferring to be closer to his daughter. No, I don't think he would have transferred had he not just won the big one game.......... Not telling our team before NSD to me, and don't kill me. Selfish. ( Yes I know he may and probably didn't know then, but) It's only been one week. He had to have known before today that it wasn't gonna work out for him and he had better options to go elsewhere and play. I wish good luck to Baker but if he's "All In" when he's really not "All In", the least he could do was let Dabo know ahead of time for the betterment of the team. Hes gonna do what's best for him regardless... Would have been nice to use his Scholly for his replacement on NSD. Again, I'm All In and this is just my opinion. Nothing bad, just discussion.

this past NSD that would have made a difference. That's more of another golden ticket for 2018, and we'll need it then more than now.
Best of luck to Prime Time! Hope he lights it up for a closer to home team, preferably USF and Charlie Strong - that'd be great to see. He could thrive there and would face a lot of good competition through a season to get looks at the next level, if he's healthy.
Go Tigers!

But that would be after the 17' season is over or nah? If he left the team now (which he did) that would be the same as a junior leaving for the NFL early last year. Right? We wouldnt get his scholly until after the season if he stayed even though he was a senior. How did we already have his scholarship if it wouldnt be free until the end of the season.

we have a scholly for 17 that we can give to a walk-on
Feb 9, 2017, 3:37 AM
|

if we give it to them for only one year then it will be freed up for next year. Baker was one of 9 seniors already. So now we have 8 seniors and probably Baker's too since walk-ons generally only get a 1 year scholarship. If a walk-on gets the scholarship and earns another year, like Renfrow, then we will only have 8 next year instead of 9.

Good Luck in all your endeavors - wherever they take you and congrats on having a daughter.
If he only has one more year eligibility then it probably would have been hard for him to get playing time. Sounds like it was going to be a development situation for PT.

His scholarship will almost certainly go to a Senior Walk-On or another Walk-On with only a 1 year guarantee of scholarship. That way we keep our 2018 number the same.
