I think he will

Even if he doesn't I think he will outwork some of the others players with more "??'s" and push those ahead of him to be better. If they don't put in the work then he will more than likely take their spot.
I'd take a player with more hustle any day over the person with physical talent but not the heart.

Re: It doesn't matter if N. Turner ever plays a down...Dabo is

First, this young man is a senior in high school, he doesn't deserve the ###### internet scrutiny of a "pro player...."
Second, not all of our recruits have been four and five stars and based on the recent results our program has achieved, recruiting has been pretty danged good.
Third, has everyone forgotten Stanley Seckinger, Daniel Rodriguez, Adam Renfro or Adam Humphries? All of these players were not in the ESPN top 300, but were very, very (Adam is and will be) important part of this team...
Do not lose sight of the fact that Alabama offered him as a "preferred walk on...." I think Renfro and Seckinger might know something about this...
While I do not know what his career at Clemson will look like at the end, I do know he will be wearing our Orange and be part of our family... Give the guy a chance, but love him as a family member non-the-less...

The Bama Game Proves Your Point
Jan 22, 2016, 6:43 AM

Our starters were "outclassed" (in terms of theoretical potential as defined by the rating services) by Bama by an average of half a star. Comparing the backups must provide a much, much greater gap.
Bama's starters and backups were outplayed, with a few (albeit important to the game's outcome) exceptions by Clemson.
Stars don't mean everything. This world is literally filled with failures who had tons of potential. You can't look into the future to know what will happen with a recruit and some things, like injuries, are out of everyone's control. That said, our recruiting staff has been impressive in spotting undervalued talent and, once our recruiters put on their coaching hats, they tend to turn head scratchers into sure things and sure things into first rounders.
I'm no different than most people in that I really want our class to be stacked with 4 and 5 star recruits. Winning the class rankings trophy is worth a ton to a guy like me that needs something to hang on to and talk about for another 200+ days. I'm in NM and have Bama, LSU and UGA coworkers so an unranked player hurts my ability to win the "my team can beat up your team" between seasons battle. But that is the only reason that I will be upset about this recruit.
Good job, Dabo. Welcome Nolan. Go Tigers.
