I sure hope we sign as many decent veterans from the portal as we’re losing! It seems like a mass exodus from our program the past few days! Haven’t heard about a single player we have signed from the portal for next fall yet.

Seeing as it's only the first day to officially enter the portal, it's a little difficult to have already signed someone.

Are we losing any valuable players or are these mostly depth guys that did not pan out and are leaving to get more playing time?

Oh, please. Mutiny? Out of the 9 guys going to the portal, there is not 1 starter. These are good players who aren't quite good enough to be in the 2 deep at Clemson, but will have a chance to shine elsewhere. When you're a championship team and recruit in the Top 10 consistently, players who won't see much playing time will now leave as the portal has given them other opportunities. What do you expect them to do?

You hit the nail on the head - most transfers that we would get from the portal would be on the bench (just like the guys we are losing) - nice for depth, but we are already 2Deep. Use the open scollys for additional recruiting out of high school and develop.

I thought he was one of the guys who would get plenty of playing time (start?) next year!

Old school LB. Basically turned into a 3 8 defense anymore. Or maybe a 4 7 with a fast DE that can cover in space.

Bingo!
I like Bentley and wish him well. But, unless you are running right at him, he is a little less impactful.
Good Luck Vonta! Big 10 schools would be a good destination(Iowa, INdiana).

We were high on his list, and lost out to Oregon. That opened the offer for Trenton Simpson.
Guess we did OK

SMH.....
Ppl get hung up on the portal...and rightfully so. I still say use it sparingly (need to use it more this year however,).....BUT we need to offer MORE HS kids. Need to sign more now kids are bailing on you....you know, the same kids we were afraid would be alienated OR leave if we brought in competition from the portal. Culture isn't keeping these kids around. Better start doing what BAMA and UGA does if you want to compete in the future....
ROSTER MANAGEMENT...#1 issue BY FAR

I sure hope we've got a plan like Dabo says and we're keying on a few. Someone posted last night maybe?? That David Hood said we'll be surprised at some that are on their way... haven't heard any more about it.

Watch the dancing after the acccg. Lavonta was not only in there dancing, but he was the still shot for the post. What happened between them and now is what I want to know.

Do you expect him to be sulking in the corner?

I believe our players have the maturity and perspective to enjoy celebrating successes this year while also feeling that there is a better opportunity for them next year.

Judge, it's one thing to sulk in the corner, and another to dance like these are your brothers in arms. Then to walk away 3 days later seems a bit strange. That's all I was saying. If these were truly his brothers, I would expect him to play in the orange bowl, pending Approval from CDS of course. May I add, no opting out for the rest of the fellows would be a sign of solidarity as swell.

Good LB in short yardage. Does seem fast enough to cover RBs and good TEs

Like targeting, new rules apply. Do what’s best for the program…players doing what they think best for themselves. Recruit using the portal! Adapt and survive to thrive!

According to the article Bentley played in all 13 games so his wasn’t that much of a backup. I was alittle surprised by this.

Don't be surprised if our players land with Venerables. He needs bodies.

Ah, man. I always really liked that guy. He was a thumper and I thought he would get more run this year.
Surprising he didn’t get a lot more time against ND when we needed to be stouter against the run.
Wherever he lands, I hope he rocks the old school neck roll and does great.
