He gets asked the question constantly. For some reason, people think the answer is going to change between now and next January and February when the portal will be the most active. If simply saying "when we see fit, we'll use it," worked then it would not be a continuing subject.

his answer gets more scattered and makes less sense each time he's asked.
his trading burrow for lawrence comparison isn't even CLOSE to what's being asked, but it fits HIS narrative so he'll keep going with that one.

write Dabo a letter, because...ya know, some yahoo on the internet knows better than a multi-championship head coach.
You guys never let up!

He did answer, and it makes perfect sense.

We are the 2nd best team of the playoff era, and did it without transfers.
Like he said, if we have a must-have need we'll fill it. Otherwise we'll just keep doing what's led is to heights not remotely seen in the history of Clemson football and hardly seen in the history of college football.
What point in your apparently bitter life did you more enjoy Clemson football?

Well that sorta blows the ongoing narrative out of the wate.

So Dabo is not opposed to the portal. He will use it when appropriate.
Time to start an alternative criticism

"I like who we got at Clemson"
He will ALWAYS "like" who we got........no matter who we got he's gonna "like 'em". We could have a bunch of Daniel High School players on our team and he'd still "like who we got"

Dabo and his staff recruit at a very high level, so...
Oct 12, 2021, 4:26 PM
|

they've more than earned any benefit of the doubt.
That said, Dabo is right. All you get, all anyone gets, is 85 scholarships. That's it, so if someone goes down with an injury, you can't just run out and bring in a transfer portal guy to replace them because there is no scholarship for them.
That's probably why there are currently more than 1,000 kids in the transfer portal.

college football is evolving before our eyes.
we've also lost 20 (TWENTY) players to the portal since 2019 and he's done either one of two things to "replenish" or "backfill" those spots:
-give the schollie to a "hard worker" (ie walk-on)
-depend on the next recruiting class, which is a slippery slope b/c they're FRESHMEN
the talent level of our team will slip drastically if it hasn't already doing option 1. If you depend on option 2 we're always gonna hear "we're young" as an excuse when we start out 3-2.
if he doesn't change or adapt to today's environment it will be a tough slide downhill.

I don't disagree with that...

There are absolutely players available through the transfer portal that would benefit Clemson. Schools like Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, and Oklahoma, all of which recruit at the same or a higher level than Clemson, have proven it, but you gotta have a scholarship available for them.
I also think it fair to say that a lot of these top-tier transfer portal guys are making under the table deals long before they announce their intentions to enter the transfer portal public.

walk-ons
go read David Hood's FB post a week or so ago. It's an analysis on Clemsons scholarship numbers and recruiting class size over the last few years. Very enlightening and frightening at the same time.

I know he tends to give one maybe two each year...

but those are typically one-and-done type arrangements. Not sure you could convince him to hold on to those in case he needs to go get a guy from the transfer portal. He'd rather give it to a walk-on who he thinks has been committed to the program and has earned it.
It's a hard thing to predict.

127 other FBS schools utilize the portal.
Clemson, Air Force, & Army do not/have not.............even Navy has once over the last few years, but I'm sure that's a one-off.
If Clemson wasn't losing players to the portal then it wouldn't be a big deal, BUT we are so he needs to "figure out" how to predict and utilize it........don't have to depend on it, but using it like Ohio State, UGA, Bama, etc.... would be good enough.

What part of " by far the best run in Clemson history"

[ in reply to I know he tends to give one maybe two each year... ] |

are you having trouble with? Not one of those 20 transfers has done anything to impede the best run in Clemson history, and the transfer portal is not the reason we're 3-2.
Again, are you slow? You seem slow.

Dude... why can't you make your point without attacking people? You've done it twice so far in this thread.
I sure hope this team starts winning like they are capable of soon. Every day the same 10 to 20 people come up on to these boards and rip each other to shreds because someone says something someone else doesn't agree with. This is a forum to ask questions and express opinions. 99% of the folks here love Clemson.... Having an opinion that is different from yours doesn't make them a coot or slow. Losing upsets people and causes people to question decisions. That is human nature. Winning will cure all of this!
GO TIGERS!!!

The pool of portal players is artificially inflated because of covid exemptions allowing players to play 6 seasons. Most of these issues will be self correcting. We’re losing players to the portal because super seniors stuck around. Which kind of balances out what you appear to believe the bigger problem is.
