Our staff offered Dukes. Does anyone know if we have room for Ealy and Dukes or is Ealy off the board ?

I get the feeling this is a "fall back" guy in case we don't get Ealy and Dukes has been made aware of his status. I don't see why we would take both.

Ealy is still mulling over the MLB draft with his agent. Not sure if he will even join us, but I'm almost certain that if he attends Clemson we wouldn't use a Football Scholarship on him. He would be a starter for sure because of his skill and athleticism, but he would enroll at Clemson on a Baseball Scholarship. Then again, I'm not too savvy on collegiate scholarship rules with the NCAA.

If Ealy comes ,he'll be on Football Scholarship

Because of NCAA rules, he'll be counted towards Football if he plays a down,gives baseball a much needed freebie.

Paul Strelow talked about this past Thursday on Wccp with Mickey. I recall Paul stating that if Clemson does indeed extend and offer to Dukes, then it would be a sign that the Clemson staff doesn't feel good about their position with Ealy.

Signing Ealy could be what drives Feaster to transfer. Then there's no guarantee that Ealy sticks with football after the MLB Draft. I'm sure the coaches would like at least 4 RBs on the roster. Signing Dukes guarantees that under the worst-case scenario.

Adding another 5* RB might be cause to reassess things I assume.

I am told Clemson will take both if they want to commit. BTW we don’t take fall back players....if Elliott and Dabo offer it is because they believe they can play

We take fall back players (Kaleb Boateng) all the time. It doesn't mean they aren't good players. No one gets all of their top choices in recruiting. If baseball wasn't a factor with Ealy. I seriously doubt Dukes would have an offer. Why wait so late to offer otherwise?

That's a lot to ingest . That a player of Travis's character and football talent was left uncommitted that late in the process . Another clear indication that Dabo Swinney and his staff are the best recruiters in college football .

Ealy and Dukes are both takes. The offer to Dukes does not mean Clemson is out of it with Ealy
Ealy will more than likely sign with Clemson in February. Whether he actually plays at Clemson will depend on how high he is taken in June’s mlb draft. Elliot would prefer to have 6 RBs on the roster so the thought is adding Dukes and Ealy would make 6

Don't know anything about him, but that he doesn't have too many big offers. How good to you think he'll be?

Unless the coaching staff thinks feaster is on his way out. And Travis probably will be gone after this upcoming year.

Looked at Dukes film.....he's very poised...fast....shifty....powerful and appears he can catch. Looks to be a hidden talent that makes 3 stars be more desired...

If both want to come, we have room, now that Mullens and Lamar made their I,mentions known. The offer had nothing to do with Ealy.

Mullens and Lamar aren't on the Scholarship Roster. We are at the max which is 85. Unless Feaster plans on leaving and maybe a scholarship is pulled. I think we offer and sign both, but one will enter as a preferred walk-on.

Mullens and Lamar aren't on the scholarship roster? Did they graduate in December?

Page and again on Scholarships. It has been updated with 2019 recruits as redshirts with total currently at 85. But I think a couple are walk-ons who might only have scholarship for a couple of semesters since they were available after Belk, Bryant, & possibly another left after the summer.

Not for 2019 because they are leaving. I provided a link to the 2019 Roster.
