Great question, and one that I am sure he was asked by both Dabo and Venables. Coaching changes can be a big reason for a loss of interest in a place, and it can be loss of interest by the player who committed to a particular coach, or maybe the player didn't fit the system. It didn't sound like he was dismissed, but if Dabo offers, I imagine he and BV see him as a good fit. Time will tell. We need studley LB's on the field, but he only had 10 tackles in 12 games, so I wonder, myself, about his talent level. He may just have been a special teams guy which may also speak to talent level.

And he was a 3 star coming out of high school. His performance on the field and his already having left 2 schools...I don't think he is worth the trouble.

...Coty Sensabaugh was a 2 star prospect and was hardly recruited. This guy is much needed and would be an absolute stud

His former DC was turned out at Michigan, now his former DC at Oklahoma left him behind.

With 3 left to play with 3 transfers. That just doesn't make since. Is he only staying a couple months at each school. Something certainly sounds fishy with this guy.

He never played at Michigan. In fact, he didn't enroll.

OK was his first season. so, he'd sit a year here and have three left.

This is an odd story. Something doesn't feel right about a guy that has transferred from two schools already.

I think you are over thinking it. His DC left at Michigan, he went to Oklahoma, his DC left there too, but came to Clemson. Now this guy is interested in Clemson. Makes sense to me, and I don't think this in anyway reflects on his character as many here seem to be implying.

Thank you for being the voice of reason. The only question for me is whether a former 3-star has the talent we need. Since BV was involved in bringing him to OK, however, I'm sure he wants him at Clemson, too.

True. Since BV knows him, would think an offer means he fits for Clemson. Don't see Dabo just wasting a scholly on a ??? kid.

He's also 2 years older & has a season under his belt since
Apr 3, 2012, 1:16 PM
|

he was a HS senior rated a 3-star prospect by Rivals (which I personally trust a lot more than Scout)...
If Brent V. sees him as someone who could fit into the Clemson defensive plans down the road ... well we have to trust his judgement. That's why we hired him.

Another odd part to me is that he said he got to meet Coach BV...shouldn't he have already known him if he's a former sooner?

it said he got to "meet with" BV. I didn't read into it that he didn't know BV, just that he was able to spend some time with him.

information. It says he played 12 games. If you play one snap in 12 different games.....you played 12 games. Let's say he played 48 snaps.....10 tackles in 48 snaps is not all that bad.
