(this is for you portal freaks)
I asked this in another thread, and no one can do it.
So figured I would ask it here, and see if anyone can help.
1. Name one player Clemson should be going after right now to bring in as a transfer for the 2024 season.
2. Which current player would he replace?
3. What would this “portal player” demand in order to come to Clemson? (money, etc.)
If you were a smart coach, you would at least need to know these basics.
Let’s hear it.

Provided DJU with plenty of biscuits and fried chicken getting him to a plump ineffective weight. This led to his underperformance thus greatly reducing the odds the Tigers would hit the Bo Time point threshold. That saved 80K freebies going out after each home game.

I don't think Dabo would hire a new Portal Recruiter and ask him on day one to do what you requested. If so and the new hire could do it, he should become the new HC. It appears that Pearman can't do it after being on the job for however long he has been there. And you want a tnetter to instantly do it? Seriously?
And this is for you portal anti-freaks.

No one is hiding. You wanted a tnetter to be Pearman for a day, and do in a day what he has not done in however long he is supposed to be doing it, which is longer than a day. And then get your panties in a wad when no one wants to play your silly game.
When Dabo or you want to hire me or any other tnetter and pay me/some other tnetter what Pearman is getting paid, I and many other tnetters will take the job and produce better results than Pearman.

Unless you pay them. Then they can do better. Evidently there is magic in money. If you pay coaches high salaries they should never lose another game or miss on a recruit and always have the best transfer players. Like flipping a switch when they get that contract.

So many of y’all act like you have all these players picked out, but Clemson just won’t take them because Dabo is too stubborn and is “falling behind” blah blah blah.
As it turns out… you just want transfers just for the sake of having transfers.
Just because “everyone else is doing it”
Do you now see how foolish you are?

Well it would probably be beneficial to go after the good portal guys that were in the portal before the teams snatched them up this year. If you want to answer your question please go look up the teams that we hear about every week that have went into the portal and made there team better by doing so and you can probably find some players that would help Clemson as much as they have helped those teams if Clemson would have went after them.

Unless several transfer out, you can't really bring in OL. There are already 15 on scholarship and O'Connell is signed out of high school.
Same story at WR. There will be 11 guys on scholarship. Dabo will not let anyone get near his WRs. He only lets his minions coach them so he can keep a close grip. (Scott and Grisham)
I expect a few RBs to transfer out this year as we'll have 7 on scholarship when Eziomume comes in. But you don't portal there with Ship and Mafah as seniors.
DE makes sense to go get someone. I'm not sure that Patterson, Denhoff or Lawson will ever be game-changers.
LB makes even more sense to go get someone. If 54 and 0 get drafted, you're left with Woodaz, 3 sophomores with limited experience and Sammy Brown.
Safety and Corner are probably fine.
I can't answer number 1 nor 3.

Trevor ETN (Travis made a joke about him playing for Colorado next year, seems he is unhappy at Florida)
Dominque Thomas (Either Mafa or Shipley is leaving this year and we will need another RB, preferably with speed to actually play)
IDK but I have now until November when he actually announces to figure that out and make sure I can give him it (Or any other good runningback who enters). He is currently at about 60 snaps, which is only 8 ahead of Mafah. We could manage to get him a larger share than that as he would bring speed whereas Shipley or Mafah will bring power. If its money I think we can find someone who would pay for advertising from ETN's brother, Chipolte just did. And if its just a change of scenery and not be stuck on borderline bowl team, Clemson can offer it as well as a chance for an NFL future.

Is how much Danny Pearmam makes to manage our portal activities. $0 is how much every single person on Tnet combined gets paid to do the same.
So question for you; is Clemson getting a better ROI on its portal expenditures than Tnet?

Building and rebuilding I-85 aren't best in class at their jobs. However, I'm not a structural engineer or construction PM so I can't tell you what they should be doing instead. Our portal execution is a liability that's also clear. It's not all Pearman's fault there is no institional focus or dedication to improving the roster through this new talent acquisition avenue. Danny could work 247 he'll never be successful if the program doesn't want to use the portal

but you are qualified enough to know exactly who to blame?
So based on your assessment, an incompetent construction company has been allowed to toil on I-85 for 60 years, with no consequences. Authorities have just blindly allowed this to happen, oblivious to our struggle as commuters and tax payers, probably making more money than they should while doing nothing. But you, someone who admittedly is unqualified to solve the problem, or even fully understand the problem, has picked up on this and feel your assessment is accurate?

Not the red herring.
No I'm not qualified to tell our coaches who to target in the portal or how to work the NIL inducements; which is why i never have. I am blessed to have the sense of hearing, and have not heard a single person who is qualified say we're better off from a personnel perspective by avoiding the portal. I guess you'll say that all of these former coaches, players, and administrators who are football analysts who say we should target SOMEONE are all unqualified to evaluate our roster and it's deficiencies. If Dabo is the only person on the planet who can have a valid opinion about the roster then we better hope like hale he's perfect and never makes a high school recruiting mistake. Since there's only been one person who's ever walked the earth that was perfect; I'm thinking that hope ain't a good strategy.

The portal. The problem is he's the only coach in America who believes that. So which is more likely Saban, Kirby, Day are all wrong; or is Dabo maybe off on this one point?

The QB who used to be here, Bear Bryant's grandson, and quadzilla. That doesn't seem like fully embracing the portal. I'm guessing it's like everything else a half-hearted effort leads to half-hearted results. The impression I get is any activity we engage in is begrudgingly, so it's not surprise we haven't yielded any fruit.

If patients go in for surgery to have their left kidney removed, and the surgeon keeps removing the right kidney, it doesn't take a trained kidney surgeon to figure out that the idiot doesn't know his left hand from his right hand.

Who said Dabo was an idiot. The subject was surgeon.
Since you don't like any examples anyone is using to show that it doesn't take an expert to know when something is wrong, have you ever known when anything is wrong with out calling in an expert to tell you it it is not working or something is wrong?

No. Absolutely not. Dabo is no idiot. He is the GOAT Clemson coach.
The comparison was to your assertion that it takes an expert to know when something is wrong and needs fixing. If that was not your assertion, then your reply re. I-85 example was misunderstood by me. Then if so, my bad.
My assertion is that you don't have to be an expert in the subject at hand to know when it is not working or may need repair or could be improved. How you fix it, may take an expert. Why it quit working may take an expert to diagnose. If my tv quits working, I don't need an expert to tell me it is not working. I may need an expert to tell me why it quit working or to repair it. If a surgeon botched my operation, I don't need an expert to tell me it was botched. I may need an expert to tell me how it was botched or how it can be fixed.

You have assessed the offense is not working

You have diagnosed it is the portal. That’s my point with the majority of the comments we see. People say “it’s not working” then throw
out a reason why that is nothing more than a guess.
I appreciate you and am glad we are able to discuss this while keeping our heads. The boards need more of it.

We have to wait and see who all enters the portal at the end of the season. There are going to be starters at others schools leaving. They just haven't announced yet.
Some coaches will get fired and many of their players will transfer out.
Some coaches will leave for other jobs and many of their players will transfer out.
And then the scholarship numbers have to make sense as well. We don't know who is returning yet. We will have some players declare early for the NFL or transfer out.
But you knew all of this already. So why even ask such a stupid question?

You are asking us to choose who we are going to vote for in an election before 90% of the candidates have announced that they are running.
We don't know who's going to enter the transfer portal in December. Therefore, we can't tell you who we would want the coaches to pursue. So why ask such a stupid question?

We all know…with the current absence of rules, we can go ahead and recruit players from other teams.
Why not be proactive if we’re gonna do this.

Most of the key acquisitions in the transfer game happen

well before they officially place themselves in the portal. ITs due to the use of "3rd Party" meddlers. So in order to be efficient you would need to have said "3rd party" send out feelers to players currently on rosters. The guys currently in the portal usually are guys that are not desirable due to whatever circumstance.
So Pearman would need to employ someone to start making phone calls and sending direct messages to players. This is why, I believe, Dabo hasn't done much with the transfer game.. He knows how it works and views it as unethical and he has stated he wants to do things the right way. And the guys in the portal currently probably wouldn't help or play much anyway.

The question isn't really relevant for doing anything imminently because the portal doesn't open again until early December. At a high level we should:
1. Evaluate the number of scholarship players we expect to return next season, including incoming Freshmen.
2. Look at the bottom 10% on scholarship and determine if they are going to provide any usable depth for the foreseeable future. If not, consider pulling those scholarships.
3. Evaluate the needs and depth of each position group to assess gaps.
4. Subtract from 85 to determine how many slots you could have open.
5. Evaluate from the portal or from your HS board that you are recruiting for Feb. 7 final signing day.

A couple of rebuttals…
First- I’m guessing if I brought this same question up in December, a lot of the answers would be something like “well we waited too long, and the best players are already taken…shoulda been calling guys in October…”
As for your item #2:
Without researching the numbers…I’d be willing to bet if we took away 10% of scholarships, that would likely include some guys who were recruited out of high school to be scholarship players.
So are you suggesting if there’s a guy we awarded a scholarship out of HS, he’s worked hard and done everything right…but he just hasn’t panned out…
Then we should pull his scholarship?
Are you in support of that?

Yes.
Pull his athletic scholly and replace it with an academic scholly.
If he wants to continue pursuing his free Clemson Degree, great. If he wants to pursue FB, he can enter the portal. Either way, wish him good luck and thank him for whatever he decides.
I recall something about BEST IS THE STANDARD.

If you had donors willing to pick up the tab to get transfers and pay NIL millions Why not as part of the package pick up the tab for the player being replaced if he wants to remain a Clemson student. Not impossible. Dabo is the coach. If he does not want to take a scholly away from a player due to performance, and wants him to remain on the team, fine.

I'd like to hear your stance on the portal

Do you believe there are never any players in the portal that could help the team? Do you just trust what the staff is doing? I'm genuinely curious because I don't even know what I'm arguing against.
I'm not a radical that wants us to run off players and build a roster through the transfer portal, but surely when 129 teams are doing one thing and 1 team is doing another, you have to be skeptical that the 1 team is doing things optimally. In order for that to be true, every else has to be wrong. Given our results on the field have also slipped a bit in the last few years, its difficult to accept the logic that Dabo is correct here and everyone else in CFB are doing things wrong.
So are you open to the possibility of taking a few transfers here and there to bolster certain positions - something even the elite recruiting programs are doing - or are you completely anti-portal?

well first I would have to get me a third party money man that has no clue as to who I am, then have said man go to Ohio St, USC and maybe Oregon and find out how will it take to get me some mercenaries at WR, OL. DB and a few LB's!
With the exception of LB's where we could use some quality depth, other than the OL and WR's who would you replace that is currently starting? A kicker would be great, but you have the best in the country coming next season!

Since we don't use the portal, being the Clemson "portal evaluator" has to be the best and easiest job in CFB.

"I would dive on a grenade for that job. The Clemson PROTAL Looker is hands down the greatest job in America. Better than congressman that work less than half the year, better than QB2 in the NFL behind Peyton, Brady, or Mahomes. I would even put that above being Bill Dance and my love for fishing rivals all other pursuits.
Here's to this dude figuring out how lucky he is and producing some studs that fit Dabo's criteria and want to come play Where the Blue Ridge yawns its greatness."

Easy Day, Very Easy Day

Mid morning round at the Walker Course, then cool off at the '55 Exchange with a double cone. Peruse Bowman Field for a pickup game, anything to get the blood pumping. Head over to Esso and shoot the bull with the old timers there over an extended lunch. Go home and bother the wife. Then head out to go fish Lake Hartwell. Probably consider going home to pick the wife back up depending on how the earlier bothering panned out. Catching the sunset from the water either way.
I guess at some point I would check my email from the phone. No need to check the PROTAL though.

I will readily admit that I have not done the research necessary to properly answer your question but
If Dabo Sweeney has not identified our 5 weakest positions on the field, then he is not worth the millions that we are paying him.

I'm not a portal totalist but here is what I would be doing.
Tigers have 14 Sr/Grads.
I believe another 8 or so leave for the draft or transfer.
The incoming class sits at 17. That leaves 6 open scholarships, 14+8=22 - 17=5+1=6
The 1 is Dudley's vacated scholarship.
Based on where I think that attrition is, I make it known Clemson is looking for a speed RB, Outside WR, IOL, Edge & LB
We'll figure out the numbers based on interest.
I'd rather take more OL and WR. To bolster the roster bc we need difference makers on offense.
But that is dependent upon Dabo buying in to those positions and numbers. There should be an on-going conversation with the position coaches that works a lot like NFL training camp but in reverse. The conversation is about who is moving on and not developing rather than who we are making a case to keep.
Adding a pinch of Dabo for a second, these conversations are NOT about who is losing a scholarship. I don't run that type of program. What I do is continue to inform players of their likely PT and role going forward and let them make their own decisions.
Back to being a fan, I believe this largely already happens and is why there have been the transfers out that we have seen and what kind of role MOST of those players have at their next stop.
But that would be my plan and my job/role. That avoids any need for an illegal bagman. It may not compete with the programs that are using bagmen but I'm out on that. However, I do make sure the agents have contact info for our NIL collectives. I might also mention the sweet Beats I got from Cade and the Beaux Time commercial I really like. I'm not a Chipotle fan. Do they still serve everything in those recycled paper boats?
