Talked a lot about Venables leaving.
Also his HS coach has made the entire thing about himself.

Said Venables was his main recruiter and now he's gone

Even though he was gone before he actually got to Clemson. He said the one thing he's looking for at his next school is opportunity. That's it.
Sounds like he thinks he doesn't think he has that here, which is strange with Wiggins and Jones gone and Lucas to be very injury prone so far.

Terrell passed him on our depth chart. Exactly. In today's portal world, it is hard for these players to feel "valued" as experienced backups.
Even for schools that rotate well, which I think we do at several defensive positions.

In his words "opportunity", although he was very respectful and honest about everything. I personally think he seen the writing on the wall and knew he was going to struggle beating out those freshman. Plus he really committed to coach BV & I think that's where he'll end up.

And then earning it. Now you just transfer to somewhere easier.

It is about money. Kids don't get meaningful NIL deals as Juniors "competing for a spot" at the school they are playing for currently. They do get NIL deals going to a New School to compete for a spot if they have the potential that Pride has. The reality is he has the ability to start at probably all but 5 or 10 schools in the Country. He would immediately be the best DB on the field for Southern Cal for example.

Lukus was easy for a future NFL player to jump on the depth chart
Aveion Terrell did just that . He is the starter .
fyi Jayden Lukus is the reason we lost to FSU . Can Coleman just caught that ball so easily . it was insulting

You must have not watched the entire game because Lukus played well against Free Shoes (with exception for that play)! Tigers should have never been in that position. They should have won the game in regulation!

What play were you watching. It was decent coverage and Coleman made a play. You make it sound like the dude just dusted Lukas and was wide open.
There were a number of bad plays and decisions that Clemson made that day. This play does not even make the top five.

No stupid coaching and turnovers lost that game . Just like the Miami game no excuse we lost either one.
