Dabo has given you the keys to Clemson’s NIL funds for the 2025-2026 season with three directives:
1) Keep as much of the current team together as possible
2) Keep as much of the current recruiting class together as possible
3) Use excess NIL funds to sign uncommitted high potential recruits out of high school (primary plan) or immediate difference makers from the portal (secondary plan).
You have $14 million to play with.
Who are the 15 most important players to keep off the current roster? How much of that $14 million will it cost to keep them? Are you spending 1/3 of that to ensure Klubnik, Williams, Wesco, Moore, Terrell, Parker, and Woods are back next year?
Are you prioritizing winning in 2025 above all or keeping the roster stocked for 2026 and 2027 (meaning are guys like Olson Patt Henry and Ricardo Jones in your top 15)?
How much of that goes to keep Jacobs, Davidson, Watford, Adams, etc? Are you making another run at Davis and Campbell? Setting aside $2 million for portal targets?
There seem to be a lot of opinions on here that Dabo is doing things the wrong way. Let’s see how you would do it.
