New Story: Swinney blasts "ridiculous" recruiting narrative on Ryan Carter

Swinney blasts "ridiculous" recruiting narrative on Ryan Carter

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney got more than a little fired up Tuesday morning when he was asked if he thought Ryan Carter the high school player would turn into the Ryan Carter we see today. A Ryan Carter that is unquestionably one of the most valuable players on the Clemson defense. His answer was a resounding “damn right.”

Did you hear what Taylor Zarzour said today?!?!?!?!?


Oct 4, 2017, 12:02 PM

Yeah, I did. They blasted Dabo about his rant and Taylor's sidedick indicated that Dabo was lying about taking players to get other players.

Brad Brownell: Only Larry freaking Shyatt has a WORSE overall winning percentage among Clemson basketball coaches since 1975. Let that sink in. It's Larry Shyatt & then Brad Brownell.

Carter, Gallman, and Schuessler all have rings now. Gallman is has a TD in the NFL and Carter should be drafted this year. I have not followed how Robert is doing at Arizona, but it may be Clowney part II.

dabo is getting ahead of himself here


Oct 4, 2017, 1:19 PM

very little chance we even recruit ryan carter if
not for being on same team as nkemdiche

yes he turned out great, but dont "change the narrative" just cuz a guy is playing well

we wanted nkemdiche. he led us to take a look at carter. we balked for a long time. ended up opening a spot on/after signing day for him. enough with the tall tales...

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: dabo is getting ahead of himself here


Oct 4, 2017, 1:24 PM

Not knowing about a player beforehand, and offering after signing day, are not the same as pursuing one player to get another.

What was that about "changing the narrative"?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

What a load of BULL


Oct 4, 2017, 1:48 PM [ in reply to dabo is getting ahead of himself here ]

If you weren't so wrapped up in following the coots or whoever it is you follow you would know that RN said after he committed to Clemson that if Dabo would offer Carter that would seal the deal for him to come to Clemson. Dabo did not do it. Only months after RN flipped to Ole Miss did Dabo extend an official and public offer to Carter. Dabo will not be bullied or manipulated by any recruit. Dabo offered Carter stating that Carter would've gotten an offer earlier in the process but there were some things surrounding his recruitment (RN's bargaining tactics) that were not fair to him and they had to wait. All of this info was made public right here on Tnet. Get your facts together before you attempt another troll job. Stop with the ridiculous speculation that you have no proof of and constant negativity you bring to this board.

I'm pretty sure we knew of him, looked at him individually, and offered him based on that.

"The Narrative"


Oct 4, 2017, 1:47 PM

"The Narrative" is often wrong. The folks on ESPN who spin stories, the local sports talking heads who pick up the ESPN spin and run with it, and the genius guys who sit in the cheap seats and type what they heard on the radio and TV create the narrative. A fair amount of the time, the guys spinning the story are clueless and anxious to be opinionated.

Remember the moron from West Virginia who had all the inside scoop about Clemson and FSU joining the big 12? That was the expansion narrative. Remember a year ago when the narrative had Alabama 2017 with the greatest defense of all time? That was the narrative. Recall when THE NARRATIVE was all about how great the SEC was, how that league was so tough top to bottom?

When the narrative is that Ryan Carter or Adam Humphries or J.D.Davis can't play and they all end up playing the narrative was wrong. When Claussen was the can't miss pro QB can't play, the narrative was wrong.

Don't believe me? Believe Dabo. Believe your eyes.

“poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”


I guess I haven't been paying attention


Oct 4, 2017, 2:42 PM

I didn't know the recruitment of Ryan Carter or the Davis twins was being called into question by anyone. All I see are great football players. Nobody wanted Ben Boulware but CBV saw the potential in him and that worked out pretty well for the Tigers.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: I guess I haven't been paying attention


Oct 4, 2017, 3:45 PM

Lots of people questioned the offers. The Davis twins were about 180 pounds when the graduated but they had grey shirt offers, they were 16, they went to tech of a year in the bridge program and transferred to CU. they might have redshirted? They are grown men now, I think both are in the 220 range.

The worse noise from the crowd was Adam Humphreys and Ryan Carter, neither should have been offered I do not thing Humphreys had any stars? I remember as a freshman they did not even consider redshirting him, the coaches said they needed him on the field, think he is starting for Tampa Bay now. A lot of those long runs that Sammy made from the bubble screens was because Humphreys was blocking a corner or safety. I bet he set a record for knock down blocks by aWR! :)

Our coaches can evaluate talent. They see not just the talent but the heart. Grady Jarrett, Beasley, Humphreys, now Renfrow, Ryan Carter, I hope there is a long line into the future at CU of these young men who far exceed the nay sayers expectations.

Go Tigers!

Re: I guess I haven't been paying attention


Oct 4, 2017, 4:05 PM

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I do think the Davis twins were a littler bigger than 180 though!

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We recruit and develop


Oct 4, 2017, 4:03 PM

I hope the uncommitted recruits see this and understand how special a Clemson offer truly is. Can ANYONE here pull the stats on the number of 3* or lower players that graduated from Clemson in the past 10 years that eventually played in the NFL? And then do the same for the other major programs?

If my suspicions are correct, We develop these kids into NFL-ready prospects more than just about any other major program. (Vic Beasley was a 3* when we signed him). Would be great recruiting trail information to share with both recruits and their parents.
