It's a real crock for the NCAA standards for scholarship players to have to be met by a walk-on. Where do they get the right to govern the personal dreams of someone who is not asking for the school to pay their way? The only standards to be met in such a case should be the school's own admission rules - the NCAA should go find a cheating school to lower the hammer on.

The NCAA doesn't regulate who gets a scholarship

they regulate who gets on the field. This hero can come to Clemson if Clemson lets him in, but the NCAA has final say on eligibility to play. 2 totally different things.
Otherwise you would get some giant dumbarse 5-star who can't get in and so they just pay they way around the rules.

Agree! There is one school right here where I live (cootlumbia) that needs to be delt with. And not the people trying to get into school. And that one person that has earned his right to go to any school he chooses in America. When you put your life on the line for these fat A$$ES to go to the bar after work while he is getting shot at. I can see if he wasn't smart enough to get in school. But that doesn't seem to be the case here. So the red tape should be green in this case. Good Luck Rodriguez with getting into the best of the best as Clemson University. Clemson Nation welcomes you. Now its just the getting through the hurry up and wait. Goooooo Tigerssssss!!!!

This kid is special. You always hear about once in a lifetime talents, well this kid is a once in a lifetime person. Can't wait to see him lead on and off the field, glad he chose Clemson.

This is the underdog story that defines Clemson football...
Mar 8, 2012, 1:05 PM

...Danny always felt that he and his teams were the underdogs, and that attitude made every player play with a chip on his shoulder. Us against the world, and that is the way I like it!
D-Rod is the kind of underdog story that fits into the Clemson history and mold like a glove.
It will be tough for this young man, and he is going to think he is in another Afghan fight for playing time survival. But I think he is up to the task. I suspect that he is a niche offensive or special teams guy, but I believe there is a place on this Tiger team for him.

With all the other despicable things going on in college sports, if the NCAA doesn't approve this man's application, they are going to have a PR nightmare on their hands.

I AGREE!!! That could be the downfall of the NCAA, if they do something that stupid! (After the last few years of "NCAA stuff"). Everyone has about had it with them.

Let's not let some silly red tape keep this guy from being able to play for us. Looks like an extremely hard worker, and we all know that somebody who's gone through martial discipline isn't going to have problems in the classroom.
