Is it possible the FFRF publicity helps our program?

Someone may have already brought up this point, and if they have I apologize, but with such a strong religious background in almost all of our recruits upbringings could this publicity actually turn out to be a positive? For example, we are recruiting a player and he (and Mom or Grandma) are on the fence about who to choose then they hear how Dabo and crew have raised eyebrows around keeping religion in the program's DNA. Could this possibly sway that recruit to come our way? Just a thought and I hope it all resolves itself sooner than later so we can get our focus back on whoopin dem Dawgs!
Go Tigers!!!

As long as the true facts are given by the media then yes. But everyone seems to want to take shots at Clemson and everyone seems to want to see Clemson fail.
I think they are afraid of what Dabo is building here at Clemson.
But I understand what you are saying.
But didn't that TE Blazevich choose Georgia over Clemson because he felt a strong religious connection with the UGA staff

I think it can do nothing BUT help. Recruits moms and families want to know that their sons will be watched carefully , taken seriously and moreover given the tools to thrive beyond the college fields.
Dabo being seen as standing up in his particular beliefs ( which are shared by about 99% of his recruits) just places the Tiger program in a very good light and I think improves a recruiting angle .
FFRF has helped Clemson Football inadvertantly and in doing so I say thanks to the non-believers that they are

..it should be so engrained in what they do - I have no problem with it and appreciate what Dabo does. I appreciate and believe they tell kids this is part of the program and as long as he continues to make it voluntary and it has no bearing on football decisions, and no evidence it does, then this can only help as you say.

Aha! It's the old "everyone seems to want to take shots at Clemson" and "everyone seems to want to see Clemson fail" conspiracy theory. Who's afraid of what Dabo is building here? ESPN? The SEC? Maybe the ACC? The White House? Putin? Jimbo Fisher? Spurrier? I do agree that this religious controversy might help recruiting, in some instances, but Dabo will be forced to back off in his open religious dealings with the team. Surely a statement from Dabo and the University addressing said topic will be released in the next couple of weeks.

"The whole world hates, and unjustly picks on, Clemson". Heard that maybe more than a few times this week?
