It's the same people who forget the whole Travis Etienne story and "who we unseated" as a lower tier player! Per Rivals.com TE9 was a 3 star recruit(tagged at bottom of my post).
Our coaches have gotten to the point where they can be picky as to who they bring in. Trust/believe if a kid is on the roster whether his name is Demarcus Bowman or not - the kid can play! I tell ya - Mikey Dukes is a kid I have my eyes on. He shows flashes of brilliance. Needs to hold on to the rock better; but you can see the vision. Kobe Pace(Pryor) is also going to be a beast for us! All is not lost and the two we have coming next season only cements my thought on the whole DB thing!

I missed that ETN was a 3 star!

He came in late but got absolute rave reviews from our coaches and players. They saw he was special. I don’t even remember who didn’t commit or decommited. Would you trade him for any other RB? If there was ever the perfect Dabo Era Clemson RB, it is RTN.

I wouldn't trade TE9 for any RB; no matter how many stars. I know you feel the same! I am with you on the decommit - I have been trying to figure out the player we """"mised out on""""! Be good to know, right. Kind of compare what they have done in college to what Travis has done.
Anybody know who the player was in 2017 class that decommitted late? Or not decommitted didn't commit when the coaches thought he was a strong Clemson lean?
If no one knows, I'll see what I can find later.

Cordarrian Richardson "de-committed" (I think we stopped recruiting him after the academic scandal at his high school) in December. Travis had been wanting to hear from Clemson but we were full at the position until Richardson de-committed. Elliott reached out and the rest is history in the making.

Ok. Thanks! I was thinking it was someone that ended up at FSU.

I believe you are thinking about White who went to UGA. We thought we had a real good shot, but he never committed to us as I recall.

I sure haven’t forgotten. Ever since there was mutual interest last year, I was hoping Clemson would land him. For his talent mainly, but think about how his last name lends itself to announcers and signs ??.

He is big and fast in the mold of Todd Gurley.

LOL!
Be interesting to see a bruiser type RB in our offense. Travis breaks tackles with the best; but is not what anybody would call a bruiser. I think Melussi is more of a straight line - run through or around you type. Clemson has been blessed in the RB department for certain - and God willing - it will remain that way! Looks like it will.
