This is nice. Kids coming in and grown men leaving. I don't think anything else can be said about Christian Wilkins. Look, I'm a grown man in my 40s. He is my hero. This kid just set the bar a little higher. Is it possible that he could stay another 50 years? No. It's not. But, I'm really glad he spent the last 3 years here. Grown Man.

This is what we do. This goes beyond football players graduating. This is everyone who earned a Clemson ring will make this a better world. My pride in Clemson, and how I carry myself everyday, goes well beyond winning a football game. Our integrity and family is beyond question. GO TIGERS! I love all of y'all that carry that Tiger spirit in your heart.
GO TIGERS! Roll the elephants!

The key stat for all parents of potential recruits:
Dec 22, 2017, 6:24 AM

"172 of 177 senior student-athletes since Dabo Swinney became the permanent head coach of the Clemson football program, have graduated."
Folks that is a 97% graduation rate over a nine year period and is simply incredible. The bottom line for parents of potential football recruits is that if your children come to Clemson, put in the work and stay with the program they will earn a college degree that remains with them the rest of their lives. Clemson cares about the whole person and will not treat your child like a football commodity that gets thrown to the the curb the moment a new kid comes along (looking at you SEC).

These statistics just further proves what a lot of T-Netters were saying way back when we believed that the administration were only interested in speeding money on education and not so much on sprots/FB. A bunch of us were sending E-mails to the administration and the B O T, with our claim that education and sports would work great at/for Clemson University. I don't think that it was that long after that money was being invested back into the Clemson sporting facilities!!! Some will maybe remember those talks here on T-net....
