I'm sorry, but the old adage, "Once a Tiger, always a Tiger" no longer applies.

When you don't even hang around long enough to suit up in a real game for the football team, it is like you were never here to begin with. I wish young Adam Kissayi well in his future endeavors, but whoever he actually plays for is who he should be associated with, not Clemson. That is all.

mark on Clemson that he was ever let on campus. I guess that would have been during the Wilhelm era. I can't imagine those two associated with each other in any way

Maybe the first I have ever seen someone leaving before their first game. Makes me wonder… homesick?

Could be, or, once he got here, he saw he was physically further behind others

than he thought. The reasons don't really matter at this point, the reality is, he left before even really competing for us.

From my source, he realized where he was physically when he came in unprepared. (As a side note another star Freshman did not follow the off season plan either)
Adam did not want to sit on the sidelines for the next two years.

That's kinda like someone taking one course in summer schooll and enrolling somewhere else, being called a Clemson man.

Agree, would say “ I once thought about being a Tiger”. Who hasn’t had second thoughts as a college freshman at some point? It’s a different world indeed.

Ain't that the truth. I still remember my freshman year in Chem E, a professor

giving us the old "Look Around You" talk. As in, look left, right, in front of you, and behind you, because at the end of four years, only one in five of you will be left. And that math was almost spot on. Of 120 who started in that major as freshmen my entry year, 25 of us graduated in it. We had 26 in all, as we picked up a straggler from the year before.
