TNET: Five-star OT recaps Junior Day visit, conversation with former player at reunion

Five-star OT recaps Junior Day visit, conversation with former player at reunion

Recruits that spend time with Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney take the measure of the man, but spending time with his former players makes and even bigger impression. Nolan Rucci found that out this past weekend. Full Story »

Sounds promising. He sounds like a level headed young man.

Hearing a recruit call him "Coach Dabo" always makes me

feel that we have a good chance.

My memory of Kenneth Page is vague, anybody remember what went on with him getting kicked off the FB team at Clemson.

Hmm I didn't catch that first time I looked. Does that mean Dabo honored his scholarship so he could enroll? Would love to hear more as I don't remember him.

Ok it seems he was dismissed at end of his red shirt sophomore year. After signing he posted pictures of stacks of money but gossip was about drinking. I read that he's a youth minister now and re-entered Clemson 2014.

Page has been coaching offensive line at Southside Christian School for the past few years. He is not an employee of the school, but he has been a great addition to the coaching staff. He is a very energetic coach and he has used his coaching position to mentor to these young athletes. Page has spoken to the team about how Dabo kicking him off the team was the best thing that ever happened to him. He said coach Swinney practices what he preaches and didnt just remove him from the team and wash his hands of him. Dabo stayed in touch and continued to mentor him even though he was no longer on the team.Page credits Dabo for caring enough about him as a man,not just an athlete.

I think the story about Page is one that should be told, not why he was kicked off the team, but because it made such a lasting impression and turned his life around. Many of these prospects need to hear Page's story and realize there is life after football, and lessons learned on and off the field will impact their entire life.
