Were predicted to go 1st round last year and all decided to come back for their senior year. Apparently Clemson paid the insurance fees for them to cover income lost if they end up getting injured and unable to go pro bc of it this season.

I know this subject is not something y'all follow, not having any players who are actually going to be drafted and all, but this is common for top players. I like the way you're trying to make it sound like this is some underhanded way of Dabo convincing players to come back.
Schools with good players do this all the time, which is why you've probably never heard of it.

Doesn’t this usually happen for draft elibgle players that come back?
I know it happened with Luck when he came back to Stanford for another year

That's a brilliant move by Clemson too. Winning a title would pay for that move ten fold.

Wilkins and Ferrell received a 2nd round grade from the Draft Advisory board. Austin Bryant received like a third round grade. Lawrence would have received a 1st round grade, but he was a sophomore. The three juniors all thought they could improve on that. Get ready.
