Asked a friend in the HS football world in BR and Napier is working Trevor extremely hard. He believed it was between UF and CU with Napier working it more apparently.

UF can offer immediate PT


Jan 4, 2022, 8:54 AM

we can't. It's really as simple as that

isn't that why Bowman went to UF?***

And he's basically Trevor's competition


Jan 4, 2022, 9:27 AM

so both are likely to play

Re: UF can offer immediate PT


Jan 4, 2022, 9:21 AM [ in reply to UF can offer immediate PT ]

If you are good enough, you will play. His brother proved that early in his career when he supplanted more senior players above him on the depth chart.

ETN didn't have near5 the talent and depth ahead of him his


Jan 4, 2022, 9:26 AM

brother does here. ETN had Feaster, that's about it

THIS makes cents


Jan 4, 2022, 9:47 AM [ in reply to Re: 2 crystal balls for Trevor ETN to Florida ]

UF offered like 25 RB's and missed on all of them.. makes all kinds of sense that they go FULL speed ahead on 1 of their last offers

Since Trevor didn't commit early, this was the likely outcome. The longer this played out, the more likely he would have gone elsewhere. The question is, where do the coaches turn next? So far, CJ is 0-3 with RB recruits. And it is a position that we desperately need depth for. We can't go into next season with only 3 viable options, no matter how good they are (and I think they are really good). We simply cannot afford the risk of having a walk-on as our 4th option at RB.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Which means a developmental prospect


Jan 4, 2022, 8:57 AM

which was always the likely outcome. No immediate PT available barring a catastrophic injury situation

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Which means a developmental prospect


Jan 4, 2022, 9:04 AM

I'm fine with a developmental prospect, all things considered. I'd rather have a 4 year developmental guy then some RB from the portal. I just wonder who it will be. We'll have about a month to sign someone.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We won't make another offer until ETN decides on the 8th


Jan 4, 2022, 9:10 AM

that's how we work, and will continue to work. I'm sure the next guy we'll offer already knows this, just like Williams at WR did

So basically a wasted scholarship...And in a couple of years

How do you sell it to a recruit in this age of cfb?


Jan 4, 2022, 9:07 AM [ in reply to Re: 2 crystal balls for Trevor ETN to Florida ]

It's obvious they're going to be 4th on the depth chart. No kid wants to accept having to wait their turn anymore. Even if one of these kids had picked Clemson, who's to say they wouldn't just hit the portal the moment they felt they aren't getting enough touches? The game has evolved into a mess of "play me or I'm leaving." It's a tough road ahead.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I don't think anyone can argue that Bama has been RBU


Jan 4, 2022, 9:14 AM

since Saban arrived. Yet even they had to take a portal guy from Tech as they can no longer stockpile 5 star RB's. That's the future. I honestly don't think we can keep our 3 current RB's for the duration, but as long as all 3 are here, it's going to be almost impossible to recruit high end RB's until one is gone via transfer, pros or graduation

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I've said it before and I will say it again....


Jan 4, 2022, 9:16 AM [ in reply to How do you sell it to a recruit in this age of cfb? ]

the transfer portal and NIL will lead to the ruination of college football.

Jan 4, 2022, 12:04 PM [ in reply to Re: 2 crystal balls for Trevor ETN to Florida ]

But at this point, isn't a 4th option RB basically the same as a walk-on type player ? It is very unlikely that a top tier RB is going to go anywhere to be a 4th option. So you're looking at a player that has to be developed.

Re: 2 crystal balls for Trevor ETN to Florida


Jan 4, 2022, 8:55 AM

Realistically why should we be surprised if he doesn't come here?

With Pace being a Sophomore and Shipley and Mafah both Freshman and all seem to have the position locked down he's basically looking at coming to be 4th on depth chart or maybe a situational player who gets 3 or 4 snaps a game

I'd love to have him I'm just not surprised he's probably going somewhere else

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Pace has 3 years left also. All three of those guys are in

Billy Napier had the reputation as Clemson's best recruiter when he was here.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: 2 crystal balls for Trevor ETN to Florida


Jan 4, 2022, 9:11 AM

Just think, there was a time where we had Napier and Dabo out recruiting together as assistant coaches.

Re: 2 crystal balls for Trevor ETN to Florida


Jan 4, 2022, 9:11 AM [ in reply to Re: 2 crystal balls for Trevor ETN to Florida ]

Yep!!!!

We're going after that fella in Texas. 3* prospect with comparable school offers as Dukes. Love the way tnet gets behind and pumped up over getting ETN2 and what huge pickup it'd be... Then as soon as it looks like he's choosing another school, it's either we didn't want him or no PT here. Just saying, where were these responses when we offered him?

Call it what it is, another miss. Just like Dindy, just like Shaw. Obviously Oklahoma didn't have any RB's as BV just reeled in a big fish.

Re: 2 crystal balls for ETN2 to FL / ETN1 was 3* prospect


Jan 4, 2022, 9:59 AM

Uh ... Clemgalalways® ... did you know that ETN1 was a 3* prospect?

Just sayin'

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Re: 2 crystal balls for ETN2 to FL / ETN1 was 3* prospect


Jan 4, 2022, 11:50 AM

Maybe by one service but his composite was close to Trevor's 92 and 4*. Imo his brother gets a higher rating and more offers based on etn1 but that's a different discussion.

ETN1 had an impressive offer list. But you appear to automatically assume I was dising the guy from Texas. I was merely pointing out the facts.

Jan 4, 2022, 9:08 AM

bag man... errrr NIL man
afraid to compete with the big boys in the ACC
doesn't have the grades to get into a real school
too slow, too small
couldn't compete for starting position at Clemson
bad attitude and bad fit
watched his tape and he isn't as good as they say.. we got player X and he is going to be better any way


this is pretty standard stuff.. you should have read the Tnet manual better when you signed up.

Nobody even mentioned that Elliott is gone, primary recruiter and close to the family and also Travis is in Jacksonville so he has a place to stay and family member around.

I feel bad for the Clemson fans who bought one of his NFT's. The digital trading cards he's been selling to all three fanbases. Clemson bunch sold out quick, while the rest didnt move. Just made a little pocket change before fall semester starts.

Good luck to him at Florida. We have 3 backs in the system that will get the snaps anyway. Pick up another RB in the 2023 class

Hope they are ready to pull trigger on offer to Paul & hope they


Jan 4, 2022, 5:47 PM

didn't wait too late.

Think for depth or backup plan to Paul, might wanna look @ offer to Reggion Bennett (3* ATH from Trinity Collegiate School in Darlington who played RB based on film I saw on 247). Know the staff doesn't really look @ JUCO guys, but Anthony Grant (GA kid who put up big #s for JUCO national champs NM Military Institute) might be worth a look.
