Bowman Transfer Disappointment

Hate that he is leaving. I hope he ends up somewhere where he can show his talents. Feels a little like Mike Bellamy. Kid had talent but it takes more than talent. Who is the next Travis? Go Tigers!!

We seem to be 0 and forever on 5 star backs panning out since Spiller. Spiller has been the only 5 star that actually worked out. I don't get it either.
I'm gonna say it and I am sure others will kill me for it. Buy maybe Dabo could have played Darien Rencher a little less and put freakin Bowman in... And Lyn J who is also better than Rencher. I swear that kid gets more carries than he deserves.

Agree. I don't get the Rencher carries so early in the game.

He’s earned it, that’s why. He has played well.

I suspect the Rencher carries are for reasons other than football. Dabo has alot to manage and take into consideration these days.
In the end, Dabo usually gets it right.

Was looking so forward to seeing him play....Two plays later he's gone.

Have to think about the FUTURE. Dixon is the future right now with or without Travis. I agree that Rencher is over used and not nearly as good as Dixon. I sure hope Lynn J doesn't change his mind due to Rencher getting more and sooner reps. What would Dixon's numbers be with comparable carries ??

I suspect U of Fla is tampering with a homesick freshman like they did with Spiller. Urb left but the playbook remains the same

I think you are right. The fact the NCAA is giving this year back tells all in my opinion. If he loves Clemson, I think he does genuinely love Clemson. But, is worried about playing time, no worries in this unprecedented year right! Travis will be gone. You can get the playbook down and not lose a thing, right?
Unless you have someone in your ear "tampering" playing on "fear" and "uncertainty"! You have to wait your turn at Clemson now a days! If someone else is promising instant playing time who is just as talented roster wise - and so yes - is closer to home then you look to the homesick freshman. Make him promises. Promises they won't keep - I can all but guarantee it. There will be a new D. Bowman next year and the year after that! Maybe some on the roster now waiting!
I can picture people reading all that going - dummy his grandfather died. Or something like that. I get it; and on the surface it seems like a legit argument. But, no. Hard to buy it; whatever the reason. I truly wish him well though. I will keep tabs on his development like some of the other Clemson players who have transferred out. They always go: "the Clemson transfer"! Which they always have a: "so you know he must be good tone" when they say it voice. All Good! Next man up!
