And he’s in the best shape of his life. This is all BS Coach Speak.
So much angst over Shaq. So many quotes about his great spring. When doesn’t a coach say a guy had a great spring? Maybe he just isn’t that good and got beat out. He’s earned the right to move on. Wish him well but we are loaded. We will be just fine.
Depending on what happens, we may never know what "kind of spring" Shaq really had. I do think I'm safe to say that anyone coming out of spring practice in P1 on the depth chart at LB for the defending national champions would not be entering the transfer portal unless the program and coaches were broken.
Again, it's safe to say the Clemson Football program and coaches aren't broken. If Shaq decides to stay good for him because he will be part of the team and contribute. If he does leave, I wish him luck and hope his dream is fulfilled.
We are probably going to have to go through this every year, as long as, great young players continue coming into the program. It started with all the QBs and is now filtering to other positions.
