Well that's a relief... I think? Implies he will be able to play 4 games later in the season as needed

Still hurts us with depth some but glad he will be back.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Think we’ll be fine depth wise


Aug 6, 2020, 9:22 PM

Especially because I think CBV can line up Bresee at DT or DE.

Only DE on roster yet display...

potential as legit threat as a pass rusher. Skill set not on display last year as containment became his primary responsibility due to scheme change(many would have hit transfer portal 4-3 de glamour position to 3-4 DE-Grunt work, gap control, occupy blockers-worst pos on field, hoping we hit big on Murphy & early-

probably should redshirt the whole team a this point***

Congrats is certainly due if this young man graduates in December!

So he will still get to play in the CFP this year?


Aug 6, 2020, 7:05 PM

Not a total loss.

Re: So he will still get to play in the CFP this year?


Aug 6, 2020, 7:08 PM

well hopefully, he can play the 4 games. id like to see him play the notre dame game, acc championship game and playoff games , if the season makes it that far.. he will be missed and was expected to have good year.. be nice if the redshirt was pulled if he got in shape and football ready,

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

If we even have a CFP this year


Aug 6, 2020, 9:43 PM [ in reply to So he will still get to play in the CFP this year? ]

Unfortunately I think it's possible there isn't one.

I bet the ones on here who were saying bad things about him the last day or so regret it. Thats why you should probably keep your mouth shut until something official comes out, dont believe rumors.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Hey X.....just get well and get strong


Aug 6, 2020, 7:19 PM

Glad the redshirt rule will let you play 4 games if you can. We will be cheering for you either way.

He’ll play four games at year end then go to the league

Blessings for the X Man. Maybe some of the TNET non believers are thinking about changing their minds about the virus.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Since this whole Covid thing is all new (corona), we don't


Aug 6, 2020, 8:58 PM

really know what some longer term effects might be and how a body overall is affected. Hoping for the best for him and other healthy young folk that get infected.

Great to hear that XT3 is on his feet, though. Strep sucks also, and like Mono can require a lot of stillness and rest over time to let it pass, even with meds.

Sets up great for later season if there is a later season. Hoping for that too.

Go XT3! Go Tigers!

I see him going to enter draft after this season

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Might be. Especially if he's healthy and in game mode.


Aug 6, 2020, 9:28 PM

Getting that degree in December certainly opens up a lot more opportunities, now and later.

I think


Aug 6, 2020, 9:27 PM

this lets him play a few big games, see what his draft grade would be and go from there.

So TCI was right.***

"All those 'Fire Brownell' guys can kiss it." -Joseph Girard III

"Everybody needs to know that Coach Brownell is arguably the best coach to come through Clemson." -PJ Hall


So what did TCI say?


Aug 6, 2020, 9:28 PM

That he was going to opt out or that he was going to redshirt? Just curious.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

They posted yesterday that Xavier might sit out the season.


Aug 6, 2020, 9:37 PM

When someone here shared their post, several people responded and used it as an opportunity to criticize TCI.

I don't get the rivalry stuff between Clemson sports sites. They all share good content. None are perfect. If someone doesn't like a site, don't visit it.

Gotcha


Aug 6, 2020, 9:50 PM

I guess I see a difference between opting out and a redshirt. However, I never did see what was said exactly.

Wishing you a complete recovery XT! If you can play late in the season, great. If not, that's OK too.

With Bryan Bresee and Myles Murphy, we have two very capable freshmen Day 1 starters at DE. The D-line will be fine. It works out for everyone if there is a season.

I worry about the long term effects of COVID 19 on XT. I love the guy but football should take a back seat to this....
