I thought the meme was Craig James killed 5 hookers.
Did I miss something?
Or did you kill another 2 with him but kept it quiet and the meme is just 5?

Bryant has already graduated from Clemson. Theoretically, I don't think he owes them anything else.

Come on Muschamp, stick the knife in...

I don’t think Bryant reaches out to us.
I could see Ark to reunite him with chad.
Also seeing as how he left Clemson because of PT don’t think he’d come to a place where there doesn’t seem to be a QB issue. What I’m saying is I expect Jake to stay for his Senior year

Now if he wanted to switch positions that’s another situation

In the end it was Belk who was willing to out Dabo and his tactics if he wasn't granted a release. And it definitely had to do with promises not being kept on, AND OFF, the field.



In light of some of the things KB said today about his leaving the tigers, this stands out like a beacon in the night.

Honestly i think KB sounds like a whiny bitch.
He got beat out.

Is Jalen Hurts making this much noise? Or is it because we aren’t paying as much attention to Bama because they aren’t our rival (I’m guilty with that )

Honestly if I were Dabo I would have played him this next game and done what he’s been doing all season so he couldn’t transfer this year. Just so you can have a formidable backup going later into the season. Or bring in for gadget plays and whatnot.
He’s no where close to Lawrence (and don’t give me the experience BS, we just saw a true Freshman come into a game and win a national title last year) but he’s a talented football player to have on the team.

Well sounds like clemson fricked themselves good with this decision. If anything happens to TL, they are basically shite out of luck..and backup QBs.

ETA: apparently Tucker is no longer there? I honestly don't follow them close enough to know. Reporters have latched onto this and are making it seem as if Tucker is still there.

I mean so are we though.
Sure we have a “senior” behind Jake. But he hasn’t played much.
Much rather see Ulrich or Dak had Jake gotten hurt or played so terrible he needs to come out to be honest

Dabo needs to get more Saban like.
You don’t see Bama players bitching about Hurts being benched
Can’t lose the locker room.

100% agree with this. Urich was supposed to have been more solid than Bryant according to someone who worked with them both. Dak just flat out deserves a shot. We'd have never discovered what Connor Shaw was capable of if we hadn't given him a shot.

And fwiw...Tucker just tweeted that today. Weird.

Since the arrival of Trevor Lawrence at Clemson, the following quarterbacks have transferred

5* Hunter Johnson
4* Zerrick Cooper
4* Kelly Bryant
3* Tucker Isreal

4* Chase Brice is the only QB left on the roster from the pre-Trevor era

That's a lot of talent to let walk out the door. You've heard of addition by subtraction. In this case, it's subtraction by addition.

IMO seems like addition by subtraction.
A bunch of guys leaving because they already know they won’t get PT?
Whatever happened to “team first?”

You gotta remember that it more than just a more talented player winning a position. KB was a team leader for them. Now, you devalue that leadership and the hard work they put in. How are the players supposed to feel about that? I can imagine that many of them ARE conflicted about how this transpired. Does Dabo really care about his players like he claims, or will kick a player to the curb as soon as they get the next 5* Johnny come lately?

Look you can't argue with what Dabo did from a tactical point of view. But from a strategic point of view I personally think it was a misstep.

Right or wrong, it's now the job of our staff to exploit the situation to the best of their ability. Weather that's recruiting or public perception or whatever, we need to turn it into a negative for them and a positive for us.

We have to negative recruit.
I’m fine with that.
Others aren’t.
But when you look at around the country. It’s happening.

That said you’re going to get one of two kinds of players IMO.
The ones that wanna win at the college level, or the ones just coming to showcase their talent to get to the NFL.

So they'd rather the lesser of the two play?

Trevor Lawrence led them on more scoring drives and he led them by handing off to their backs more. They are a 3-1 team with no playoff aspirations if Kelly Bryant wasn't on their roster. But if they want to be fools and show their true snake oil colors, by all means. When Brandon Mc and Leo Nunez transferred out, Muschamp wished them well. But Muschamp is a real coach and leader and that mistake by the lake may have a good bit of the former on staff (not in the HC position) but they have none of the latter.
