Our coaches are excellent judges of character.

I’ll let them decide if he is a good fit for Clemson or not.

Sustained!
There are two sides to every coin. I would love to have seen the guys celebration when he broke Delp’s QB’s collarbone.
Not right by any stretch but I have done dumb ish in the defense of friends. Live and learn.

This is the first time I have had reason to doubt their judgement. I do not lightly make the statement. This is the worst incident, but it is not isolated. Over the last 6 years I have seen multiple instances of his bad judgement, temper and poor sportsmanship. I’ve taught my sons to fight if necessary to protect a teammate. My sons would never play another down of football if they laid a cheap shot like this.

You just want the best for Clemson, and that incident was not what we expect from a Clemson man.
Just don’t call him a d-bag. That will get you in trouble here.

I’ve often wondered if Chad Kelly was in high school now

if we would have gone after him. He never fit in here. Kind of a head scratcher. Was Chad Morris the main reason we took him in?

I’m pretty sure Dan Pearman’s new job is to scan message boards for recruiting tidbits. So it actually may be helpful when we have our “2 cents” to toss in.

Since he admitted to doing this on purpose with the intent to injure I agree. Apparently his coaches on the team agreed he wasn't worthy of being on their team and booted him! Clemson does not need this type of player at all.

Our coaches recruit character first. If Delp is a potential bad apple, he can forget being a Clemson Tiger. Dabo won't take him.

Sorry, I know that this will be unpopular, but we need a bit more nastiness on our team than what we have been seeing the last few seasons. I'm proud that many of our lads are good Christian men, but we ALSO need an edge and nastiness to them. Dudes like Christian Wilkins that would smile and then go on the field and light them up. For the two times Skalski was ejected, the dude played with FIRE. We need some more guys with Dog in them. If the coaches think this young man is worthy of being a Tiger I for one love it and hope he commits. Go Tigers, be at UGGA!

That video is not good. Glad it was MCL and not ACL. I did both years ago. ACL still bad 32 years later.
Not a good move by Delp. Could have left that guy with an injury that lasts 32 years plus. Not good.
Are there other tight ends out there?
But I trust the clemson staff. I hope this was an extremely isolated incident, i.e. the only incident of it's kind by Delp.

They don't have to take a commitment from him if his character is not good.

I’d prefer Jaleel Skinner. He seems to be growing into TE and not WR.

You smell of incredible ignorance due to the fact that you call someone a gamecock fan due to the fact they have an opinion you do not agree with.
Whether the guy should or shouldn’t be at Clemson, I have no idea. Seems the OP has been closer to the situation than you and I. If he’s a bad dude and does bad things at Clemson, Dabo and the staff will be the ones to have to answer for it.
I will say there’s roughly 100+ on the team and I’d bet there’s a few that you wouldn’t want to know everything about. That’s with everything in life though

Maybe the kid has grown and matured since this happened. I don’t know much about him but Should we write a kid off because of one awful decision?

Attend Clemson twice, graduate, spend 20+ years on this board.. all waiting for the opportunity to keep Clemson from getting a 4 star tight end. My dastardly plan would have worked too if it weren't for you meddling kids!!
