'18 GA RB Lyn-J Dixon (Tennessee transfer)

[Leeleesteeth]

Fresh start. You never know. Give the kid the benefit of the doubt until he proves otherwise.

 

[bigl3327]

How big has LJD gotten since his 180lbs high school weight?
Gonna need to be over 200lbs to take SEC impact weekly.

Most recent listing is 5-10 195lbs.

I'm gonna start the Dixon heuptrain

He gon be 1b to Smalls 1a and go brrrrr into them cheggerboards for us!

 

[swchandler1988]

Kind of interesting that Tiyon was already with the team when Heupel was hired, seemed to have attitude problems based on reports when he left. Now Dixon being brought in by a coach who’s against attitude problems/locker room issues. I wouldn’t think they’d take him if they didn’t feel like he would work out

I'm gonna call him Lyn-J Skyn-J when he breaks out into the open field like a Free Bird. Highlights to the guitar solo.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

Anyone know if he’s a grad transfer?

I think he’s got a PhD and a law degree already.

He has to work out for 1 semester

Right. 4-5 month worthwhile bet

Tiyon really didn’t have issues with the staff. He had issues going to class…..any and all classes.

Well i meant “attitude problems” encompasses that. I was just trying to say i don’t think they’d bring in Dixon if they didn’t see it working out in some way

Am I correct in thinking with his RS year the year he only played in 3 games at Clemson coupled with his freebie COVID year that he will be eligible to play for us this year and next year as well?

Chuck Web was listed at 5’10 and 197 … hope we see similar play as well. Cobb/Webb we’re probably my all-time favorites.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Time is short and losing Whitehead late is what it is. Fall is here, so does anybody have a solid feel for where we are in regards to our 85? Not sure how many outside additions are really out there for this season. This could factor into any risk/reward decision about this guy.

 

[BP4Prez]

Is this a sure thing?

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Exactly. Bru showed the same way too. Think 247 is just winging it with those.

IS there an official NCAA portal site available to the public?

Dixon left Clemson because a freshman showed up on campus and was immediately given the starting role after Dixon spent 3 years waiting for his turn. I don't think that's a sign of a bad attitude.

Good point. Kind of like Ty Chandler knew the job was going to Tiyon (that was the idea anyway). No hard feelings there

Chandler left as a grad transfer before cornbread was fired and before Evans showed up - way different. Would you have stayed and played another year in the disfunctional program cornbread was running?

I am going to go with the staff regardless, and understand the CU situation, but do wish he had made a decision he could stick with as he exited. But I have had to admit to a few double OOPS situations in my life.

Well, actually, Ty left early January when Tiyon was already on campus and Cody Brown had signed his LOI. No I don’t blame Ty for leaving at all. I’m saying that Shipley coming to Clemson and given the reigns is similar to that in the sense “why would I stay here when I’ve waited 2-3 years to be THE guy” like Chandler deserved here. I’m glad he did well at UNC and pumped to see what he does in Minnesota

I think I remember hearing Heupel say we aren’t that close to the 85. I could be wrong though.

 

[Walkman]

Ainge show confirmed that it’s pretty much a done deal and we should see LJD on the practice field this week. GBO!

Really like to know the number though... As we have seen on this board there are LOTS of guys that entered the portal that have not landed anywhere. Would it be worth a couple of shots at one year guys where we have our biggest holes, or do we have some walkons we would prefer to reward? You don't get bonus points when you are below 85. Might be a situational goal line run stopper or a CB where the lights came on sitting out there.... or m aybe a misused guy that could help SOME at LB... hail mary type chances, but heck might be worth a couple of shots. Don't think we are going to find any all conference every down players, but just don't tie up next year counters.

No. Only to compliance folks at universities afaik.

Which is why I think 247 is winging those things or making best guesses idk.
