I wonder why he’s leaving?


Nov 30, 2022, 5:00 PM

Sure doesn’t sound like a “culture fit” issue. What could it possibly be? ?

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Certainly not a playing time issue either....


Nov 30, 2022, 5:01 PM

I am curious too.

Overall lack of WR targets...We had a game this year where


Nov 30, 2022, 7:40 PM [ in reply to I wonder why he’s leaving? ]

we only targeted the WRs SIX times...Not in a quarter...not in a half...an entire game where we only threw the ball to the WRs SIX times...He was a big recruit, he has a limited window to audition for the next level...Why would he, or anybody with pro aspirations, waste it in an offense that doesn't even attempt to get their position group the ball?

2024 white level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Targets, or completions?


Nov 30, 2022, 7:51 PM

Which game?

Fact remains, we don't call a ton of downfield stuff because,

1. The QB is not good at buying time in the pocket to allow plays to develop

2. The QB us not good at seeing the field if his primary WR isn't WIDE open.

3. The QB has accuracy and decision making issues. Sometimes a 1:1, 50/50 is the directed call, and he still holds it. When he does throw it, whether it 50/50 or wide open, he often has trouble getting it on target. For example, even on directed 50/50 balls, when he's told to throw it and actually does, he's more often than not putting it somewhere where the WR can make a play.

Hence we've scaled things back to emphasize TEs and short passes to increase efficiency.

Yet again, we don't have a scheme or playcalling issue. It's not that we don't sometimes try to stretch the field. The problem arises with execution at the most important position on the field.

I'll give you 1 guess, is that you WR's coach Grisham!!!

It’s unfortunate that we lost him.


Nov 30, 2022, 5:07 PM

I was eager to see what he would do here.

Re: It’s unfortunate that we lost him.


Nov 30, 2022, 5:18 PM

As you already know he left back in September, and we did see what he could do here. He was a good backup who stepped in when our receiving corp was banged up. He did a decent job but was passed up on the depth chart once the corp was healthy.

Nov 30, 2022, 6:00 PM

I agree he left but compared to the rest of our WR's, he was just as good if not better. He will get picked up at Alabama and become a 1st draft pick watch!!

Absolutely he will. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out and kids need a fresh start. Blessings to this young man

Good Lord, you wrote him off after his FR year? Why did we


Nov 30, 2022, 7:43 PM [ in reply to Re: It’s unfortunate that we lost him. ]

even bother signing him? Seems like a wasted scholarship if we had no intention of developing him

Did he have to wait until after the season to officially


Nov 30, 2022, 5:36 PM

enter the portal or something? Why didn't he just play the year and then enter after the season. WE needed help this year and he could've be the star receiver. Kinda odd to announce you're leaving before the season and then re-announce that you're leaving after the season...?

Saves him a year of eligibility.

Yes but didn't he quit after game 2?


Nov 30, 2022, 7:21 PM

He could have played 4 games and still redshirted...

If you have already made your mind up to leave in September and your head and heart are not in it why would you even consider doing that??

Re: TNET: Former Clemson WR releases statement after entering portal

First, you need someone that can pass the ball, not manage a game. Second, we have wasted so many Wide Receivers. Lastly, DJ needs to be in the portal too!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You actually have a great point. We can't judge these

Nov 30, 2022, 8:00 PM

receivers unless we have a QB who can deliver the ball on time, on target.

It's utterly ridiculous to blame WRs for DJs issues, like Walt Deptoola does.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: TNET: Former Clemson WR releases statement after entering portal


Nov 30, 2022, 5:58 PM

We really need to examine the WR coach. As bad as the WR's have played this year, you mean to tell me this kid could not hit the field. Come on man! It seems likes its becoming a popularity contest with the coaches for playing time (just see DJ as an example) and not talent.

Who is better than DJ at QB right now? Give an example. Some proof.

Re: TNET: Former Clemson WR releases statement after entering portal


Nov 30, 2022, 6:04 PM

He saw what was coming. Another year of playing with a QB who can't identify (quick enough) open receivers or hit them often enough when they are open.
Why ruin your reputation with coaches talking about poor receiver play (dropped passes) instead of poor QB play.....

Hopefully his scholarship goes to a speedy receiver (re: Amari Rogers) who can actually get some separation and not just another tall who can jump. We need speed!!

A very classy departure. I am sorry it did not work out for him, and I wish him every success elsewhere.

Re: TNET: Former Clemson WR releases statement after entering portal


Dec 1, 2022, 12:11 AM

Wish him luck - so much to unpack here.
Unfortunately our offense will probably make the UNC defense look like the 85 Bears, like we do everyone else, but hopefully we can get the W and maybe sort things out before the Orange Bowl which will take a much improved effort from us to be competitive.
No matter what, a huge off-season is in store for us as we either turn things around or continue the slide from elite status.

He’s a quitter. Quit on team when they needed him most. Sure we all understand his frustration offensively it’s a shell of probably what he expected to be a part of but no excuse to quit in middle of season.

Unfortunately next adversity will be even easier for him to quit.
