Dabo Swinney talking about the "grandfathering" of walk-ons as part of the final House settlement. "I'm thankful, for once, some common sense prevailed and the right thing was done there." Says they just "designated" everybody that was a walk-on to be grandfathered in.

Swinney, continuing on about the changes under the House settlement, once grandfathering is over -- might not have walk-ons anymore. “That 10th grader with a dream of walking on at Clemson one day, that’s frustrating.”

Dabo Swinney asked if this defensive line is as good as some of the groups in the 2010s. "Their headlines are based on performance. There’s just a bunch of potential with this group." Says he's seen projections of Woods, Parker, etc. being first rounders: "The last time I saw

Dabo Swinney says he didn't consider getting a punter from the transfer portal. "No, no. So if we’re terrible, y’all can all blame me."

Dabo Swinney tries to relay that he's been talking to new defensive coordinator Tom Allen for a long time but never in person. He relates it to "Charlie’s Angels." Then ribs the 19-year-old student reporter who asked for not knowing who "Charlie's Angels" are.

LSU coach Brian Kelly may have offered some bulletin board material for Clemson at SEC Media Days. But Dabo Swinney wasn't offering LSU anything in return Tuesday. But he did hilariously text Kelly after confusing him for a country music star. postandcourier.com/sports/clemson…

Clemson WR coach Tyler Grisham said today sophomore Bryant Wesco has put on over 20 pounds. If we're going off of last year's weight, that means he's around 190 pounds. Grisham said he should be able to use his body and be more physical. Plus, "He got faster, it seemed to me."

Interesting philosophy from Clemson D-ends coach Chris Rumph: He uses the saying “don’t use a hammer to kill a fly” — and says he does the opposite with his best players (like T.J. Parker). It motivates others, who think “He used a hammer on him … what’s he gonna use on us?”

About that time Marcus Lattimore silently committed to Clemson and Coach Jeff Scott 😳 Great podcast interview with Lattimore coming soon. What a journey for him away from football, and toward true happiness and fulfillment.

We've discussed the possibility of Zac Foster (four-star guard) playing as a freshman, but thinking more and more that forward Chase Thompson could be in that convo. Brad Brownell spoke earlier this summer about Thompson's physical maturity (6-8, 215).
