Our country won't go on forever, if we stay soft as we are now. There won't be any America because some foreign soldiery will invade us and take our women and breed a hardier race.

I do too. Nobody much talks about his loyalty to his players. I guess loyalty does not mean what it used to.

Nobody is asking dabo to build a team with he portal. It woild be nice to replace outgoing transfers with incoming transfers and maybe huge positions of need like qb over the last 3 years, or an olineman or 2. Take 2-4 transfers per year and it would help out our team immensely

We’ll make sure Dabo understands what you are asking. Glad you broke it down to where he can understand it. SMH.

People wouldnt be offering advice if Dabo seemed to have it figured out.

He clearly doesn’t when it comes to this era of the transfer portal.

Top 10 recruiting classes, but not top 10 teams. We lose our share of players to the portal, but don’t get any that way. We are always a young team.

It isn’t working.

Judge, since you’re a basketball guy, I’d like to know if you’re satisfied with the basketball team’s use of the portal? Is it working? It hasn’t won a conference championship, an ACC tournament championship or a national championship. Just asking.

I think using the portal is a slippery slope. You bring two guys in for two that left. The next year the two guys on the bench that were waiting their turn decide no need to wait because a transfer is going to take their playing time. The only way a player becomes elite is by coaching plus playing time. I know the argument is the transfer is better that is why he is playing ahead of other player. But the younger player on bench may have a greater ceiling if he can get playing time. Im not sure Clemson has deep enough pockets to get the elite players out of the portal.

Get real......Clemson has the top 1-2 HIGHEST paid coach in the country.....

stop acting like Clemson is some poor farm school when EVERY OTHER FBS TEAM IN THE COUNTRY (sans army/navy/AF) uses the portal to better their roster in some way, shape, or form. Money is NOT the reason we don't portal......Dabo's approach is.

For the 15 thousandth time,just because Clemson offers a portal player doesn't mean we are going to get them. Most impact players in the portal are already bought and paid for.

We have the players we have and we're all in with our guys. If we had added two all Americans in the portal he'd be talking about how excited he was to have two new pieces.

I didn't realize there were that many all-americans in the portal

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah there were plenty of all Americans in 2023 who were transfers

Including the Heisman trophy winner; several first round draft picks as well.

Of course current players dont want Dabo to use the transfer portal.

It means less competition and more job security for them.

DUH!

With a constant stream of new recruits coming in? Not likely
