I gotta be real for a minute (long)

Every person has the right to make decisions he or she feels is best for their future, but I’m really disappointed in Tavien Feaster. When Tavien committed to Clemson, the first thing he did was petition CJ Spiller to wear his RETIRED #28. CJ had a long heart to heart with Tavien, and he made him make some promises if he wanted to wear #28. Of those promises, one was to maintain loyalty to Clemson first. Another was to put the team before himself. Now I don’t know either of these guys personally, and I don’t know anything about their relationship. But I do know the promises that Tavien made CJ. Not only did Tavien not keep those promises, but he disrespected CJ Spiller and his good graces in the process. Not only to transfer, but to transfer to your in-state rival…that’s a direct slap in the face to CJ, and a REALLY bad look for Feaster.

It’s just so disrespectful. CJ worked his ### off for the opportunity to retire that number at Clemson. And by giving Tavien his blessing to wear it, he expected him to do exactly the same. Instead, Feaster decides to go all Anakin Skywalker. Total disrespect, and that’s what I’m having a hard time getting over.

Feaster got pissed when ETN came in and earned the starting spot. He didn’t like sharing RB2 carries with Choice and Dixon. Dabo promised Feaster an opportunity and nothing more. That’s Dabo’s M.O. in recruiting, and he offers the same to everybody. He teaches these guys that nothing is ever given, everything is earned, and that you have to work to get what you want. And from day one, Dabo has said that the best guy plays. And Feaster’s not stupid. He knows how Dabo recruits, so he had to have known that he was going to keep recruiting top talent at every position, even his.

I’m afraid he’s doing this with the wrong attitude. Feaster is out to prove that Clemson was wrong more than he’s out to prove himself as a running back. If that’s the case, it’s selfish, it goes against everything that Dabo teaches his players, and it’s going to hurt him.

I absolutely agree that this is rotten on Feaster's part. Feaster is a legend in his own mind and his actions say he was not treated fairly at Clemson despite no words to the contrary. He made a commitment to Clemson and now he has backed out which makes him no different than Josh Belk in my book despite what he did for Clemson in 3 years.

By and large he was a disappointment. Feaster was a 5* that got beat out for the job multiple times by multiple players. Most of his biggest moments were caused by busted coverages. For example the play against NC State where he ran it up the middle for 80+ yards. My father could have run the ball up that hole. Rather than bear down and reclaim the spot he walks away and transfers to the coots. As bad as the coots are this move IS NOT going to help his draft status.

The success our Tigers have achieved is absolutely awesome. There are over 100 other teams that want to be where Clemson is now and has been for several years. Success that has been achieved because the entire team, staff, and school are ALL IN. No way can a guy be ALL IN with Clemson and make a stupid decision to transfer to Carolina and sleep well at night unless he was never all in. You cannot turn off the love you have for your school and team and transfer to your biggest rival unless you have a chip on your shoulder and feel cheated.

Well plant that chip on your shoulder Feaster and I will be there in November to watch you get buried in the backfield. Not sure you will be getting a helping hand up off the field from our D-line.
