Garrett Riley . . .

[stech81]

Great move but I’m not sure Clemson personnel fits with what Riley wants to do especially at WR

Clemson offense has not been the same since Trevor Lawrence

How when Dabo doesn’t use the portal?

In the last two years I don't know the story, but Clemson has only taken 2 players last year Hunter Johnson QB and this year Paul Tyson also QB

Dobo has said he doesn't like the Portal.

Obviously Dabo is a great recruiter but does he have a weakness in evaluating QB talent? It's a mixed bag, Trevor Lawrence and the QB before him that played for the Texans were good ones obviously, but some of the others did not have the mental part it seems. Any thoughts?

Eh, it'll be a 1year stop gap before getting a HC gig. I ain't worried.

This. He’ll have better talent than TCU if he can develop a QB. That’s been Clemson‘s weakness the past couple of years.

Some of that recruiting prowess may fade now that everyone (with money) can pay players. For now he is ahead of the curve due to Clemson's recent reputation, and they have competitive NIL money, but he doesn't have as much of a recruiting advantage as he had before. He needed to hire Riley to try and offset the new disadvantage. We'll see what Riley without Duggan is like. Riley is a good OC, but the Big 12 is an offense driven league. I would not put the great label on him yet.

I bet he does this year! 3 bad losses and Dabo will adapt!

Clemson also misses their anchor point DC, Brent Venables.

Tajh Boyd was real good QB, Bryant was good, . Collin Harper was not big time recruit, Dabo offered and Harper developed to point he played good for them

That can change pretty quickly these days. Especially at a place like Clemson.

You would think so but it’s looking more like a trend than blip. The high end WR Clemson was getting now are going to Ohio St & Bama
