Why is that?? How does that feel to you? Discuss.
Note: If you criticize me instead of responding to my assertion and questions, you are giving assent to my assertion and admitting that there are no good reasons for this to be true.

Dabo got comfortable and thought he was bigger than the change that was happening right in front of his eyes.

I truly believe if Dabo uses the portal more this offseason, still his was as far as making sure they fit the Clemson culture, he could potentially get us on the right track especially with who all is gone after this season

Not sure they have more talent. They sure play harder and more together than we do, that's for sure.

You really believe that Vandy has out-recruited Clemson for the last three years? If you compared the aggregate star value of the current players, Vandy would have the higher value??
I doubt that. This is about coaching and culture. Vandy is HUNGRY; Clemson is NOT. Vandy’s staff is getting more out of the talent they have; Dabo and Co. are squandering talent.
That is my opinion. If you disagree then list evidence to the contrary.

Louisville hasnt out-recruited Clemson either

but they have better players at almost every position. Isaac Brown is way better than any RB we have on the roster, Chris Bell is better than all of our WRs, Miller Moss has been at least as good as Cade, they've been better on both LOS despite the ratings of our DL, and they are way better at LB and DB.
I guess its evaluation and development.

Simple...portal. Vandy sucked until last year. We will suck if we don't take advantage of the portal.

They found a baller at QB and Lea has changed their mindset. Actually believing and practicing like you can beat anyone is important.

The answer is the freaking portal and NIL. Using those tools to get better players in certain positions is crucial to being competitive. Not sure why so many people are still oblivious to this.

You want to go get a whole new team from the portal every year? You think we have the pockets to just buy whoever we want with NIL money?
A lot of you have a delusional idea of where Clemson should be in the current landscape of “college” football.

We are a developmental program that isn’t very good at developing players with this current staff.

There is a lot of money in Nashville now. They have seen a lot of business migration from California and the northeast. That is driving NIL money up. Also great coaching.

It makes me sick. And it makes me pretty irritated with Dabo. Actually, I find Dabo from this decade to be very off putting.
Inject 2009 to 2020 Dabo directly into my veins. He was 1A and 1B with Saban.
I’m sure some will hate this, but I want Clemson back. I don’t care about anything besides winning. I don’t need to hear about religion, the past, graduation rates, how no one from the portal can start at Clemson, none of it. I want to get back to where we were. Period.
