The portal argument lacks any depth. Look at the offensive game plan, coaching and execution. Those are the problem. The portal argument holds no water when you look at FSU or Colorado. It comes down to coaching and execution.
It is a chunk of it, but the bigger one is Dabo's bad NIL policies. If you disagree, could you post your reasons why? 63% of all starting D1 QBs are transfers this year. Do you know the most important position? I think you can win a few of nil players especially if it is just offensive lineman which Clemson needed badly.
@@jussiesommelier this is such a piss poor argument. I’m arguing Clemson should taken few offensive lineman wide receiver and maybe a qb. 6 players top. Not to build your team around it.
@JohnSmith-bq6nf They tried to take some linemen, but lost out on the ones they wanted. 247 Sports ranks Clemson as the #5 most talented team in the country. The truth is... they recruit so well that it's hard to find better talent in the portal. Add in the fact that Dabo emphasizes character when picking players, then that makes for a very small player pool in the portal. The brutal truth is this... if you quit on your previous team to make more money or get more playing time, then Clemson doesn't want you anyway. If we lose, we are going to lose with team players and players that want to compete and earn a spot... not those that can be bought.
@@jussiesommelier That is idiotic. Georgia recruits better and STILL uses the transfer portal buddy. Dabo making a few phone calls isn't trying to use the transfer portal. Insiders said Clemson won't use nil to persuade them either. No Dabo is paid to win football games and if he keeps losing he will be replaced. If you have that mentality go watch highschool football. Clemson going from top 4 team to top 20 and even worse is sad. Truth is every top 25 team has used transfer portal but Clemson.
Noone can factually equate not using the transfer portal as the reason Clemson has dropped competitively. It's obvious the reason for dropping is coaching. Olince coach, O coordinator being the major ones. Clemson has NEVER recruited top 5, it's always top 13. Dabo is a traditionalist and when he doesn't conform to the societal trend they hate on him. Let the parrots repeat the slogans you be you Dabo!!!
Everyone thinks correlation is causation when it comes to the transfer portal. The quality of the players is not an issue at Clemson. It is the lack of an effective and efficient offense, and it is a lack of player development on the offense. Hiring former players with little to no coaching experience is killing the offense.
Some players move because they want to make more money. Some players leave because they want to be on a winning team. Doesn’t really matter, this is football and you should try and do whatever it takes to win as long as it’s not cheating.
All these schools using the portal more than us. How many national championships they got? Kirby and Dabo is tied for most in the NCAA since saban retired. So why y’all keep talking so hard about this portal man?
FSU JUST FAILED USING DJ UIUNGALALEI A FORMER CLEMSON PLAYER FOR 2 YEARS WHO QUIT AND WENT TO OREGON DUCKS THEN QUIT NOW HES ON HIS LAST YEAR AT FSU AND HE LOST TO GEORGIA TECH AND FAILED !! TRANSFER PORTAL IS A FAILURE
yeah he’s mentioned that a couple times the past week, 10-15 is a disservice, clemsons usually in the 5-12 range and like you said they usually take less recruits
Dabo doesn’t have to, because he’s in the ACC. Clemson has 9 automatic wins before the season starts. Clemson AD wants to change conferences, come to the SEC, I bet he changes or he won’t be able to compete.

People who think the transfer portal is the thing holding Clemson back are just making themselves look silly and stupid

@@JohnSmith-bq6nf Ask FSU how that NIL return on investment for DJU is working out

Dabo will always do what he thinks is best and I will always support him.
You are a fool
Sounds like they need to put Dabo in the portal.
This a good Debate show
I never thought id see Uncle Lou vs Jason Priester
Jason you should be ashamed for your comments. Uncle Lou is vindicated.
Im ready for this to be unnecessary to say after actually watching, but he doesnt need to
I hope Dabo never changes!
Then he won’t have a job soon

They were top 5 in 2020 and 2021.

I would rather have a player that is committed than a player that is looking for what he get.. lol you are wrong bro

Every team has gotten better and caught by using the portal. Gotta get a key free agent qb. Ol. Wr. Rb defense still elite

Sup fellas .... Go Dawgs
Clemson recruits VERY well Lou, c'mon. Forget the ranking look at the average rating per recruit. They're typically top 5-6.
yeah he’s mentioned that a couple times the past week, 10-15 is a disservice, clemsons usually in the 5-12 range and like you said they usually take less recruits
10-15 isn't good enough when dealing with other teams why can pull good players out of the portal
Being stubborn will have him losing and fired soon 😂
I don't see anything funny about that, U don't have a lick of since
Coach....... Yabba 'DABO' Do.....
FRED FLINSTONE....
He better chnage his stance or clemson better fire him
2025…. 😘 Bye Dabo!

That's just plain ignorant!
Why do you think Clemson is suing to get out of the acc it's money, the sec and big 10 get a hell of lot more money than the acc
