This is not a shock but a disappointment. In today's recruiting world, we cannot get to December soon enough when scholarship papers can be signed.

It is no shock..Clemson and many other schools are now budget buyers.. Even with revenue sharing, it's not happening. Top 5 -star talent is not going to Clemson.Why would an 18yr-old take like 200k when they can get 2-3 million guaranteed. None of us would either. It's now business and I think this kid made the greatest business decision for he and his family. It's not football, family environment, or any of that. It's simply what puts them.in the best position financially in the long term. Tbe world is a tough place and if a kid can get 2-3 million dollars based on what he did in high school, then he should do it. It's an easy decision.

They think they finally have the main ingredients to put together a SEC / CFP championship.... Plenty of "now-legal" money for players.... and a good coaching staff.... They might be right!

Hard to be The Rich Texas money. Maybe they will fail again like the did a couple years ago when they spent millions. Wish Jimbo was still there.They would fail for sure. Money had to be the reason . This kid was a Clemson guy until the money showed up ! This has ruined college football.

They’ve done this before and it failed miserably. I’m not saying you’re wrong but their track record is not great. People need to take their feelings out of this whole process. I’m not denying that money didn’t play a role, but Clemson is not the only school that has a great school, fans, and opportunity. All these schools offer something different. Who are we to say that the kid is passing on the “best decision of his life” when we don’t truly know him. This a free and capitalist nation, everybody has different needs and visions of where and what they want to be. If he didn’t choose Clemson, that’s fine. We’ve survived and thrived through losing multiple players that we wanted and didn’t get, the guy made his decision, respect his choice to do that. The majority of the schools in the country, including TAMU would love to have the success we’ve had. Just have faith and confidence in what we have and are still growing. A lot of our fans need to get a grip and understand that everybody has different wants and needs. It’s not that big of a deal.

Seriously? TAMU is a Texas wannabe. They outspend everyone and still are tier 3 SEC program. Players go there for the fat check but it hasn’t worked out for the program

I think you’re over-stating the importance of this one player just a tad…. Not one single player defines a class, esp a DL, which is a position with several layers in a game. The only position that you could make an argument for that one player that could alter a recruiting class would be a QB. Besides, if this guy’s measurables are accurate (6’2”, 250#), that does not translate into a dominant, class-changing player. Wish him well. Move on….

Waaaaay overstated. No way our hopes of a great season in the future has been put on back burner because this kid will not be playing for us. If one player on a TEAM makes you or breaks you, you need a new coaching staff.

Great point - 6’2 - 250 , now he’s potentially a great player. The saddest thing about this is the NIL factor. I believe the young man wanted to be a Clemson Tiger, but unfortunately was auctioned out by “handlers” - IF $$$ is the driving factor in all of this he unfortunately won’t succeed. It happens often. His heart will win out. Go back and look at the commitment video, For a young man making the biggest decision so far in his life - he sure doesn’t look to happy.

but i dont think him being bought by a&m is a massive deal. we recruit very well at the d line position anyways. i would have been more dejected if it were a 5 star rb or qb blowing us off for the money.

First of all it's not a massive loss but would gave been great and icing on the cake. We still have a great class coming in. Second I can tell you for a fact we cannot touch them in financial resources. This is a cross the board whether it be academics or Athletics. The good news is there's very little kids we'll ever face him on the field And he missed his chance for a shot at a Natty because A&M is not going to be there His.loss over $. GOOD RIDDANCE

You are an idiot. If you believe that Clemson can remotely compete with the likes of Texas A & M based purely on money than you not only are a moron but a fool as well. It’s not an excuse when it is the deciding factor in a recruitment battle. It’s reality.

Remember a few years ago they bought Jimbo a class of studs, who turned out to be duds. I believe they have a better coach now. We shall see. I will take this 2026 as is, but I imagine a few more will be added. High quality players, who want to play here. I hope it is where he wanted to play, not money that made his decision. Too many of the kids now keep chasing the "bag" and end up no where. I wish this kid good luck.

Well said in Tigernet Article. All this BS with today’s recruits pulling the strings it is disheartening and has taken a lot of enjoyment out of college athletics.
I use to watch Braves baseball or listen to their games on the radio. I rarely watch them anymore. It’s sad that money and greed are pricing fans out of the market. I am losing interest in college sports to.
Many of you who are younger may not understand what has happened to college sports until you learn more about life.
We want really know the negative consequences of NIL and revenue sharing along with the other changes to college athletics for about 7 to 10 years.

Well said by both you and Grayson. Great Coaches all across the country are scrambling to figure out what and how to best compete in a dying sport with zero rules.
There's not but a handful of game changing players each year. Sadly they understand through agents, their worth. Unfortunately only a few teams have the unlimited resources to pay the price. Norvell is a good example. I don't think he's a bad coach, just think he's trying to carve out a niche through portal to win.
Some on here don't realize how our recruiting is taking a hit. Imo, and Grayson can correct me, I think that's mostly what this article is about. It's not about missing one premiere target. It's missing on most. People say we won championships with 3 stars. We didn't. Look at every class last decade. We'd get 3-6 top 100ish players, then a handful of 150-225ish players and a few guys we could develop. Well, wake up, development is a minority anymore.
It's a real quandary. Dabo's not going to buy a team. Dabo will pay to retain players. But imo, he's of the mindset you earn it. You show him what you're made of and we'll likely compete with any team out there to keep them.
I look forward to Grayson exploring our options further. Thanks Grayson and thanks eagle.

Excellent Post Clemgalalways. It was well written !!! When the first suit was filed by that former college basketball player I made several comments about the negative effects NIL, the TP and other outside factors would be Clemson’s drop from Elite status and that it would severely hurt our recruiting for 4 and 5 star game changers like those brought in during the years we were capable of beating any team. I am talking about players like Tee Higgins, Mike Williams, Travis ETN, Deshaun Watson, TL and a defense that could stop anybody.
Those players and other highly talented players came to Clemson because of Dabo and the unique culture he established at Clemson. Moms and Dads were help to guide their kids to Clemson. A scholarship offer from Clemson really had meaning before the courts, legislators and the NCAA allowed greed and money to consume the sport. Kids that we are losing now are literally being bought out from under Clemson.
I admire Dabo for not letting the chaos change the culture at Clemson. Cheating has become easier than before, the NCAA is just a powerless organization. The media, the players, attorneys, agents and $$$$$$$$ have had a huge negative impact on Clemson and the way Dabo built his program. To a large degree Dabo cannot compete with the big money schools when that has become the main focus of parents and their kids.
As I have stated several times we really want see the negative impact of NIL, revenue sharing and other negative impacts on college athletics for maybe 7 to 10 years. And I believe at some the non athletic students are going to have an influence on pay for play athletics at many colleges and universities.
I am proud that Clemson is trying to negotiate through all of this chaos with character and integrity.

It was all about $$$$! He didn’t even know the name of the school to whom he committed. He said he was going to the University of Texas A&M! Still wish he had committed to the University of Clemson.

I wish him all the best, but it is hard to get an 17-19 yo kid to not chase the highest dollar and TAMU has a ton of oil money to spend. Maybe if he isn't being developed and he realize it, there could be another opportunity down the road.
But Clemson won Natty's with mostly 4-stars in the line up. And to be honest, good coaching can turn a 3-star into a better player than some 5-stars turn out to be. I believe in our coaches and I know they will make all of our players 5- stars!
Go Tigers!

Every team is mostly 4 stars. Even Bama under Saban. But not all 4 stars are equal. Same with 3 star players.
While I appreciate your optimism. And last decade that was partly true. We're not recruiting like we used to.

I don’t want to add facts to the argument but you are just wrong. If you are to believe that class rankings matter then this class is right around or maybe slightly above our average rankings over the past 20 years. Do the math. We have very rarely been a top 5 recruiting school. Our national championship teams were not top 5 classes. We have a very good class this year compared to our average over the years. To say we are not recruiting the same is well just false.

Look at my post under the reply to wueagle. That gets into facts. You want to have a factual conversation, bring it on. I could give a crap about class rank. You are wrong to say I'm wrong. I'll gladly debate the truth. Our blue chip ratio has been a steady slow decline... and even moreso when you consider transfers. Facts. Bring em on.

To some extent. Coaching is absolutely critical, but having a couple of the top studs can trump that. There’s been studies on the high percent of first round nfl picks that were 5 stars, but there are stills busy. An 18 years old making 3 million without proper supervision has the recipe for a bust

Texas schools will always have more oil money to "sway" players to come their way. Pretty much this was the case here.

Kid wanted to be a tiger. Parents wanted to spend time withdrawing from with the ATM.

Maybe he wanted money and he made his choice?

It’s a different recruiting world than it used to be. If you want a 5 star you better be ready to back up a brinks truck and unload. Kids that come from lower income backgrounds are faced with some really tough decisions and family atmosphere, championships and the school/coaching staff just won’t be priority.
I feel sorry that the kids to some degree but it’s hard to have too much sympathy considering how much they are going to make.
The Clemson staff seems to be changing their strategy some and they need to. I’d rather see us try to load up on 4 Stars and under the radar kids than swing for the fences for top prospects. Tough pill to swallow but reality is we won’t be landing those kids unless the money is not a factor.
Good news is it’s hard for a select free schools to just load up on top prospects like Bama used to do. They are getting spread out. That still gives us a fighting chance.
