So......sons of NFL guys or rich folks don't get offered rides cause they got $$???? Check your stats. Howie Long's son paid his own way at UVA? Deion Sanders, Karl Malone, David Robinson, Ken Griffy Jr all have kids in school who were recruited by big time schools because of their ability and offered scholarships.

to live your life in a way that only thing that brings you joy is something to blast Clemson (and Dabo) about. Still butthurt cause Clemson didn't ask you who should be head coach? Get over it.

If you're an underrated player

and your parents can afford to send you to school, then what's wrong with walking on and EARNING a scholarship? That's what Clay Matthews did.

Does a greyshirt mean that he's on scholarship? Is there any chance that he can play D-1 football?

Dabo has a great record of picking up lesser players with certain skill sets and turning them into solid contributers. He must see something that we don' t. Same with the Davis boys. No scholarships invovled, so let's just stop with all the crying and sit back and see what happens. GO TIGERS !!!

And how many 5 stars have not worked out ?
Jan 5, 2015, 9:59 AM

I'm sure there's more, but a "superstar" RB, QB & LB Have all not worked out in the time a 2 star(at best) GS TE has been catching TD's at Clemson.

Based on a study of 2014 draft picks
Jan 5, 2015, 12:23 PM
|
|
"A five-star recruit had a three-in-five chance of getting drafted (16 of 27). A four-star had a one-in-five chance (77 of 395). A three-star had a one-in-18 chance (92 of 1,644). A two-star/unrated recruit had a one-in-34 chance (71 of 2,434). "
http://www.sbnation.com/college-football-recruiting/2014/5/12/5696710/nfl-draft-recruits-five-stars-two-stars
So yeah, several 5 star guys will flame out due to grades, injury, discipline problems, being overrated, etc. However, the chances of success with a 5 star are significantly(3x) higher than even with a 4 star guy. Odds of success with a 2-star or unrated player are extremely steep, which is why most marquee programs either bring them on as walk-ons with a chance to EARN a scholarship or don't bring them on at all.

Thanks forgot about him

he's been pretty solid and earned his spot. I think he actually had his grey shirt removed before his first year because there was a spare scholarship for him.

This coaching staff has shown it is terrible at developing
Jan 5, 2015, 10:05 AM

players. Vic Beasley comes to mind. They couldn't develop him as a running back, so they settled for making him the best DE in CFB...
Hope this kid shuts up the naysayers.
The coaching staff knows what they're doing, they have my trust. (I know they are sleeping better b/c of that)
