Written on Remember the name: Swinney says DE Kevin Dodd has made 'amazing progress':

I hope to see a relentless pass rush as we showed vs LSU...our O will give us a lead and all the D-Line has to do is pen their ears back and rush the passer

Written on Nuk Hopkins throwing out the first pitch at Houston Astros' game tonight:

Good luck this season!!! I'm a Panther fan but I will be rooting for Nuk & the Texans to do well too.

Written on Is tonight his night? DeAndre Hopkins poised to become Tigers' 23rd 1st-rounder:

The best "Hands" of any receiver in the draft

Written on DeAndre Hopkins is first Texans' pick, youngest 1st-rounder in Tiger history:

Congrats!!! Now it is time to work even harder and we all know u can become a great pro

Written on No surprise: Tigers ready to move on following Dalvin Cook's de-commitment:

in response to MyTwoSENSE:

Actually, the ACC has had 184 players drafted in the past 5 years. That's second only to the SEC by 3 players and way ahead of third place Big10 (159). As far as degrees, Tyler Shatley is majoring in civil engineering.

You are correct...the ACC places plenty of talent into the NFL each season. We all know the SEC rightfully gets the hype but ACC produces plenty of Pro Bowl players

Written on Optimistic outlook: Swinney says Tigers' D going to be 'much better...pretty good':

Good to know the D is trending in a positive direction...we will need them to be stellar. The coaches have recruited the talent.

Written on Draft stock rising, Nuk Hopkins leaves Clemson with good memories:

It would be amazing for the Panthers to draft him at 14...they have many needs and WR is one of them. Whom ever picks him will gain a good player. GO NUK!!!

Written on With core of Shuey, Anthony, Steward, Christian, Tigers building something special at LB:

Hope to see those guys make a lot of tackles near the line of scrimmage in the run game and defend their zones well in the passing game

Written on Website tabs DeAndre Hopkins as No. 1 receiver for 2013 NFL draft:

He will prove to be the best WR in this draft class...if he falls to Carolina I hope they take him

Written on Swinney says Sammy Watkins has grown, matured in response to 2012 travails:

"There's no question that he helped Nuk have the kind of year that he had. Because Sammy Watkins draws a lot of attention."-Dabo Swinney

Truth be told Nuk performed better when Sammy was out. Morris designed the offense around Sammy and often neglected to design plays for Nuk as the #1 option. I think that played a part in him not returning for his senior season...CU coaches recommended Nuk stay in school

Written on Scouting Report: Hopkins 'may be the most complete receiver in this year's class':

CU fans know all about Nuk!!! I have said it since the first time I seen him play, he had the best hands on the team, all 3 of his seasons.

Written on Three Tigers receive ACC postgraduate scholarships:

Job well done by these STUDENT-athletes!!!!

Written on Dabo Swinney on SEC's aura of superiority: 'We don't buy that':

Great job of recruiting...8 SEC schools are upset CU got higher rated recruits than them including SC. Just shows the strength the program is gaining. Keep it up Dabo!!!!

Written on Aiming high: No. 1 QB Deshaun Watson, No. 4 RB Dalvin Cook on Rivals Top 100:

Great salesmen (recruiters) sell the benefits of their organization until the sale is complete...I don't think CU will look at any recruit as a sure thing.

Written on Aiming high: No. 1 QB Deshaun Watson, No. 4 RB Dalvin Cook on Rivals Top 100:

If these young men are smart they will continue to listen to their Mother's advice...rather their Mama wants them to come to CU or go elsewhere.

Written on Under the radar coup: Swinney predicts 'tug of war' for signee T.J. Green:

He has the size to be a BIG DB but CU has loaded up on DBs with this incoming class...may be he finds his way onto the offensive side of the ball

Written on Swinney says Grayson DB Ryan Carter 'earned his scholarship on his own merits':

Can not wait to see how well the defense will play in 2013...GO TIGERS!!!!

Written on Countdown to Signing Day: Clemson has some ground to make up:

It would be great if we could steal some top recruits who flipped on us as well as get one or two who had us as their "dark horse"

Written on Dabo Swinney closes door on possibility of Mike Bellamy returning to Clemson:

I hate to see young people throw away their talent

Written on Looking ahead, position-by-position: linebackers:

The talent is coming to CU...coaches just have to fit the scheme to the personnel

Written on Dabo Swinney says Ebenezer Ogundeko's early arrival 'like winning the lottery':

D-Line should be stronger next year with those guys who are returning and the new comers...Venables coaching shows promise after seeing how well he had the defense play vs LSU

Written on Shaq Lawson gets NCAA approval for admission, starts classes on Tuesday:

The D-Line talent is improving weekly...Venables has some pieces to work with. GO TIGERS!!!!

Written on One more year: All-America QB Tajh Boyd returning to Clemson to finish the job:

Welcome BACK!!!! Nuk, I understand if you opt out but if you decide to stay, I would appreciate it.

Written on 'Run ragged' by Clemson offense, LSU felt the bite of Chad Morris' pushed pace:

Great job of wearing down those Bayou Tigers...glad to see the OC stuck with the run for the entire game and the D played WELL! I've been telling people for a while, CU plays well against a traditional pro style Offense. It is those spread Offenses that have given us trouble.

Written on In Dabo's Words: 'They played with love and toughness...a commitment that is uncommon':

GREAT TEAM WIN...HATS OFF TO BOTH OUR OLINE AND DLINE

Written on Tigers battle past No. 7 LSU 25-24:

in response to Tiger79:

We watched with pride as the Tigers grew up before our eyes on National TV. They played with purpose and intensity, like the rest of the Tiger Nation I am counting down the days until next season because they showed everyone a glimpse of what is coming next year. Congrats to the team and coaches and enjoy a fantastic victory.

I second that...

Written on Crunch week: Swinney says it will take 3 or 4 plays to get Tigers 'over the hump':

He is being humble...he really wants to win every game.

Written on Former Tiger star C.J. Spiller hits 1,000-yard mark with fewest carries since 1934:

Spiller has been special this year...great work!!!

Written on Recruiting Notes: WR Robinson flips back to Clemson, DB Adrian Baker drops FSU:

Good to know 4 future Tigers are SC bred...feel bad for Tramel Terry, hope he has a speedy recovery.

Written on Former Clemson DBs Chris Clemons, Byron Maxwell making their mark in NFL:

Keep it up fellas...make your marks in the NFL!!

Written on No. 1 DT Montravius Adams sets Clemson as one of four official visits:

I hope he joins our team...championship teams are built inside/out...tough O-linemen & D-linemen needed.

Written on Ben Boulware named defensive MVP as Sandlappers rally past Tarheels, 23-19:

Ben appears to be as GOOD as advertised!!!! Keep it up.

Written on Daniel Rodriguez wins FWAA Courage Award:

Congratulations and thank you, Daniel.

Written on Dabo Swinney pushing Clemson through physical practices :

Looking forward to see if the preparation pays off. Hopefully both our O-line & D-line perform well.

Written on Jadar Johnson says Dabo Swinney's honesty played big part in his Clemson decision:

Hope he turns out to become a good corner in coverage

Written on Lady Tigers lose leading scorer Danaeja Grant, two others to transfers, hardship:

It is rough trying to turn a program around but it can be done...GO LADY TIGERS!!!

Written on Chad Morris says he's content at Clemson:

Typically when someone says "it is not about the money" it usually is.

I do like what he had to say about taking a job in a desirable situation. Many head coaches want to be at school that is serious about winning football games and having the best facilities to attract the best recruits possible.

Written on Martavis Bryant debunks NFL draft rumors:

Glad to see the young man is taking responsibility for his actions and not running away to the NFL. I believe he has the most upside (potential) of all the WRs we have. He is taller than all of them and faster than all of them according to Dabo "Bryant is the fastest of the WRs running in a straight line." He is not as shifty as Sammy. But never the less he is a "big play" guy. We need to use him more often.

Written on Just two uncommitted offensive targets remain for Clemson's 2013 recruiting cycle:

Hopefully we are getting good linemen to play on both sides of the ball...building a team from inside/out is the way to go! I know the coaching staff knows this already. GO TIGERS

Written on Clemson-bound Ben Boulware taking out his frustration on Shrine Bowl teammates:

Hopefully he is as good as he thinks he is...

Written on Bowl-bound teams show academic progress; Clemson ranks second in ACC to Duke:

Well if SC does not improve their GSR scores, they will lose scholarships...good news for us. Those boys over there are not book smart but they can play good D!

Truth be told, there is a lot of pressure on college coaches to win "now" and they do not care rather their players graduate or not as long as they produce on the field for 3 years then they are encouraged to enter the NFL draft.

Written on Andre Ellington ready to finish career with a bang in Atlanta:

I liked his running style since day 1...one cut & downhill, I like those types of RBs. Hopefully we will feed him the ball along with the other two RBs. Often times our OC will go away from the run while it is being successful.

Written on Texas Tech hires Kliff Kingsbury over Clemson's Chad Morris :

Time to focus on LSU!!!

Written on The Tajh Boyd paradox: 1st-team All-American ranked No. 22 among draftable QBs:

in response to Bigboots:

I would love to see how some of these guys play without their little earrings and dreadlocks.
Discipline. Mental toughness. Gone.

I see a lot of "dread heads" helping both Saban and Miles win championships. SEC has no problem with recruiting disciplined and mentally tough guys who wear dreads. Some may even wear earrings.

To make you happy CU should stop recruiting the type of guys you mentioned and then we will see them become a national power. GO TIGERS!!!

Written on The Tajh Boyd paradox: 1st-team All-American ranked No. 22 among draftable QBs:

Miami-Ohio's Zac Dysert, Georgia's Aaron Murray, Fresno State's Derek Carr, Boston College's Chase Rettig, Southern Utah's Brad Sorenson, Missouri's James Franklin, Kansas State's Collin Klein, North Carolina's Bryn Renner and Washington's Keith Price...of all theses QBs rated ahead of Tajh I only see Renner as being more talented. James Franklin & Collin Klein? James Franklin, really? Klein can barely throw an accurate pass.

Written on Dabo Swinney has a plan for potential staff movement:

I like our chances to win this bowl game as long as we can stay balance on offense. I felt like our guys were able to run the ball vs FSU and SC but in both of those games the OC went away from the run game. It seems as if Morris becomes impatient and does not want to take what the D is giving him.

SC was having a difficult time stopping our running backs and our O line seems to be better run blockers than pass blockers. I really hope we pound the rock with the run game. Even if we only avg 3yds per run play we should continue to run the ball to set up play action.

Written on Goose Creek's Tramel Terry tells Clemson's coaches he's sticking with Georgia:

Dang...can't get them all. Wish we could always keep the top in-state talent in-state.
