So do we think Johnson transferred because TL is that good


May 21, 2018, 7:39 PM

or because he’s tired of the B.S. with Bryant still being ahead of him in the pecking order?

I don’t think Johnson would have transferred if he were first or second at this point.

I can’t help but wonder if the staff’s loyalty to Bryant played a role. Remember last year at Syracuse? KB could barely walk and was mostly ineffective. Rather than pulling KB, the staff left him in and basically sent the message that KB on one leg was better than a full strength HJ. Then, after a concussion forced KB out, the staff played Cooper who missed wide open receivers by 15 yards. HJ still didn’t get to play.

Fast forward to the spring game, when KB was clearly the worst QB on the team. If the staff maintained to HJ that KB was still ahead of him, after KB looked awful and HJ looked great, perhaps that signaled to HJ that he needed to find a more reasonable situation.

I wish Hunter all the best. I’m honestly shocked that he left at this point. I feel that he could have helped us this year, and very well been the starter.

I would think,with the ""TALK"" that he had with Dabo this past week-in -- he asked many questions from his coach -- Dabo told him the truth ( what ever it was ) and he made his decision -- I sat next to a guy from Indiana ( that knew the Johnson family well ) at last years ACC CHAMPIONSHIP game --he has a daughter going to Clemson --said Hunter's dad had told him, HJ would transfer,if not the starter this year. I just took it as a grain of salt, but now,he has**

Coaches will put the best man on the field,that gives us the best chance of winning ______only game,I will ever doubt is the 4th quarter at Syracuse last year ( still can't grasp them not sending HJ in for the 4th quarter ?? )

Thanks for the info.

It makes sense that Hunter decided to transfer if he didn’t think he would have a chance to be the starter. I’m just surprised if the coaches already knew that now. A lot can happen before August.
