Good job Big John taking up for his buddy. Amazing how fans can jump on a player so quickly, they were singing praises for him when he was MVP of their Mayo Bowl win over UNC last year.

We now know why they were so successful in that bowl. That Defense is still trash.
Joyner really should have listened to our coaches when we recruited him as a DB.

DB?

As I recall they wanted him to be a TE and he would’ve been great at that position. Could’ve mixed him into various formations and even trick plays.

Joyner was never going to be a TE from what I gathered. Dude isnt near big enough.

I believe you are thinking of Kelly Bryant moving to TE after TL16 took over.

No but honestly coaches missed on Bryan Edwards. We took Overton over Edwards and Edwards turned out to be the better WR. You win some you lose some.

Still had fun watching Overton put it in the endzone three times against BC during homecoming. He was a good one for us at times and sat behind some stellar talent for a while. Hindsight is 20/20 but I don't think either receiver was a miss.

Pretty sure we wanted Edwards and would have taken him from what I recall. We were disappointed when we lost on him. I think he was Coot bound from the get go. I could be misremembering this though. It has been some time.

We originally recruited him as a QB, but unfortunately he did not improve as much as expected from 8th grade to 12th so at some point in his junior year we told him he would get a shot at QB, but we were recruiting him as a DB. We would not sign him as a QB, he was not going to beat out TL.

Clemson coaches could only get him in at DB

He decided to chose the Lamecocks because they were able to offer him as a QB.

I remember Javon Kinlaw once called them the worst fanbase in the country because of how disrespectful they are toward their own

Maybe some of our fans should remember this before they post about our own players current and:or former

I have to disagree with John on one thing

in that it’s not that cola fans are trying to get clicks as much as sooth themselves for the de-cootment. They honestly believe they recruit the best and if they leave it’s only because the player actually ended up not playing to the potential they recruited…

everyone with football knowledge (Not Tnetters) but real coaches told him he was not. He should have come to Clemson where Dabo told him the truth. Move to safety.
