Hope Dabo actually uses the portal this year! Can we also find a defensive coordinator in there?

Since you brought up the Charlie Brown analogy, may I offer another.
Dabo is Lucy holding the football (portal) and we are Charlie Brown, always falling for it.

Let's be honest, Hunter Johnson (2022) and Paul Tyson (2023), is not using the portal.

That’s true. Bringing in a clipboard holder in case every other quarterback on your roster goes down is not exactly using the portal.

I went to a panthers game one Sunday but since I traveled to Charlotte that Friday I caught a Johnson C Smith vs Fayetteville State game. There’s a kid named Julian Milligan (sp) that’s a running back for Fayetteville state, who’s an absolute stud. Not sure why he didn’t get any D1 offers but from his social media, he’s entered the portal. A big, fast back with hands. He’s definitely gonna play on Sundays if the right eyes see him, hopefully we consider him but I’m not sure how it works

DE is the primary need. I like the young talent of Hoffler and Mayo, but we need someone ready to go and produce right away in what could be Parker and Woods last year next season.

No doubt about it, they're gone. Would be silly on their part to stay. Pwoo definitely 1st round. Parker first rnd or early 2nd. Big $$.

When Duke was filled with 6 year seniors, all I heard was how experienced they are. Heard that argument for a lot of schools the last couple of years, in particular announcers playing up teams who don't have a football history. There's a pretty good track record of these teams pulling off upsets. They don't have 5 stars, and very few if any 4 stars. Heck 3 stars are probably their studs!
Then I hear how any good players in the portal are already called for. OK, they are out. But other players labeled as 'problems' are not worth pursuing for whatever reason. Well if experience makes a team better, wouldn't it help a team to go after an experienced 2 star or even 1 star to fill some spots?
Just my $0.02

it's definitely taken some of the fun of it. We can sit here and complain about it and not participate, or adapt and catch up with the way the game has changed. Hopefully Dabo adapts to the modern era and recruits a few people through the portal.

Enjoyed the article David especially your little jingle at the beginning. I feel now is the time for Clemson to use the portal with all these decommittments we have been getting.

I think this is the year we bring in one or two players from the portal. There's no way around it this year and something tells me Dabo feels the pressure to do so. 🤞

If he took one or two players in the portal, at least he wouldn't be the obvious media punching bag that he currently is.

Think you are wrong on Dabo feeling the pressure to use the portal. Dabo doesn’t feel the pressure to do anything that he does not feel is right for the team. He built this dynasty at Clemson and unless a portal guy comes in that fits the program he is not going to take him. Personally that is why I love Dabo and the way he does things. He is a proven WINNER. Is not going to change something that is working. He is who he is and has no intentions of trying to change himself. We have the best coach in America. He builds good MEN.

I agree. Like it or not, Dabo is going to do it his way. I'm not sure the portal is part of his plan. Not sure if we can count on any help there. Pretty frustrating for us fans, but he is the "boss", and he is pretty stubborn about certain parts of his program.

We could have been an elite team the past few years if we had embraced the new college football landscape.
Anyways, hope this year is different and we attack the portal and land a few guys.
Instead I fear we’ll hear the “well we tried just couldn’t get them to choose us” excuse.

I maybe incorrect, but we at 84 schollys now I believe. I'm sure a few enter after we win natty 🤞🏻 so numbers will be tight
1 RB 1-2 WR 1-2 DE 1 LB 1 S
in a ideal scenario that's Wat we target. I really love to have the former 5⭐ DE from Missouri

From people that are not fully informed... (including me)
The impact players enter the portal with their destination already picked, or already involved in a bidding war. Could we be more active in the bidding wars? I honestly don't know enough about how our NIL finances work. For long term consistency the portal is fool's gold right now. I think that the future is teams will need a "front office" like pro teams to scour free agency to help coaches hit the portal where they miss on recruiting each year. The problem is that the kids in the portal aren't looking to be "depth". That's probably why they left their last school. We will see how serious we are in the portal this year. We can promise real playing time to a DE or LB. Maybe even a RB. Once again though, we have to be more attractive than the other guys...

I think Dabo grabs 203 players from the portal, but ZERO starters. Which means we're taking leftovers no one else wants.... just more players with clipboards on the sidelines who will never see significant action. And that's not using the portal to it's fullest potential.
Again, just a prediction.
