Clemson elite D-Line stays Ours.........

Advertisement
SH*T is straight sad! Top players from other schools stay, and fringe middle round guys can't be convinced to return to improve their stock.
 
The number 1 DT on the board comes back and ******* Norton and McIntosh bounce?? What in the actual ****
 
I'm all for school spirit and all that but he's nuts for going back to school. Anyone who could go top 10 and returns is making a HUGE financial mistake.
 
Anybody using the bagmen excuse is a moron. Ain’t no **** bag man paying more than a prospect will earn as a first round pick.

These are guys that are just invested in their programs. No other way to explain it.

Wilkins graduated in like 2.5 years or something crazy like that. Looks like he'll get his masters. Good for him.

I know you’re half kidding.....

But Ferrell is a projected first rounder.

Amazing that kids would turn down millions.....

Maybe they just like playing college football, in a small town where they’re treated like royalty, and they’re assuming the money at the next level will always be there.

Who knows....

It’s super interesting to see other schools can keep first rounders in schoool but we have folks getting itchy the moment they’re projected as a 5th rounder.

Yeah...I can't believe these kids didn't pay attention to what happened with Kayaa...unbelievable...but I hope they get drafted to their satisfaction.
 
For anyone that just finds this crazy its situations like this every year, not that often but its always guys who are projected to go high in the draft that go back for their senior year. The allen kid from Wyoming and chubb from NC state pop in my head immediately. Now were talking about a guy at a better program that has a chance to legitimately win another national championship. Of course as outsiders we scream crazy cause we see millions involved, but at the end of the day he went to that school to win and he wants more of it.

Wilkens is probably the first tackle taken and he was definitely a first night selection regardless.

yeah he definitely looks like a first round talent, I'm not sure if who was his particular advisory i think they got it wrong though. here is the quote from the clemson website

"In terms of football, the NFL Draft Advisory Committee also played a part. As hard as it is to believe, David Hood mentioned that no one, even Wilkins, received a first round grade for the 2018 Draft. That uncertainty likely played a part in Wilkins’ decision.

With this decision Clemson’s scholarship numbers for 2018 remain tight. Going into the decision Clemson had 15 commits for the class of 2018 with 9 players classified as seniors, 5 players leaving early or transferring, and 2 walk on scholarships given to younger players. That gave them room for 1 player. The problem with that is Clemson’s desire to sign Justyn Ross, the WR from Alabama, and an OL prospect in Richard Gouraige. Clemson will need at least one player to transfer if not more to get under the 85 player limit come August.

As for the 2018 season, Clemson absolutely has the best defensive line in the country. And that is without adding guys like Xavier Thomas, KJ Henry, Josh Belk, and Justin Mascoll. It’s going to be fun."

Ridiculous. Not only do they bring back their front four but they also add the #1 , #3 , and #9 DE.
