Van Smith questioning Dabo (SIAP)

Disgusting. These players that actually know Dabo that come after him and lie, disgusting. Smith, Rencher, any others that want to join in will be disgusting too.
 
Van, you are a former player, Dabo's door is always open and phone always on...give him a call and get some clarity if you need it that bad. You want your former program to be successful, don;t have blacksportsonline.com trying to make Dabo out to be a racist. You are not helping
It’s probably because Van is failing at life and frustrated. Most malcontents and losers throw rocks at the winners in life. It’s been going on since the days of Adam and Eve. There’s even political organizations that support these tactics. Communism, socialism and liberalism
 
This is a nothing burger.
In reality, it is. With that said, the perception will be used as ammo like last time and will influence prospects. I hate it as much as anyone, but cancel culture is alive and thriving.
 
Really think this will hurt recruiting? There are 3 comments on the damn thing and until posted on here, I doubt many views from people who gave two shits about it
Exactly, thanks for trying to give this bs legs my posting it on here

Unless you’re a democrat. Just one example out of hundreds, is the Governor of Virginia and the Canadian prime minister wearing black face. There were calls for resignation but they ignored it.
 
Whatever…this dude has had pictures with coaches all over the country. It’s not a big deal and won’t cost Clemson a recruit that weakly wants to be a Tiger
Jordan Hancock says hello!

Damn I didn’t say the sky was falling. I said that opposing coaches would use this as ammo, even if this should be a nothing burger.

The move here for Dabo is to discontinue any association with that racist from the video. Persona non grata
 
The ignorance that social media has created astounds me. People will see Van’s post and believe it 100% without any context or doing any further research. If the racist claims against Dabo and Clemson are true, why doesn’t Van or others come forward with actual facts and details of these supposed racist actions?
 
This POS has pictures with tons of coaches on his Twitter…Saban, Norvell, Harsin, Smart, etc.
You should go post those pictures in that Twitter feed before it used only against coach.

It seems like there are an awful lot of people that just want to watch the world burn now days!

This post is even worse. Look at the replies, a majority of people see this post and believe that the guy is employed by Clemson or associated with Dabo. Ridiculous

People will believe anything they see on social media. It's a sad world we live in these days where facts actually don't matter. This guy has never "worked" for Clemson or Dabo. He was a trainer for recruits
 
This world has gotten to a place that everyone is under a microscope and must walk on eggshells.

There is zero evidence of Dabo being anywhere close to racist and he has been a father figure to all races that come through his program. This crap is just that...crap
100% true.

If it were me repping closely in this business like Dabo has to, simple PR:

“It’s been brought to my attention a video created by Mark Taylor displaying deplorable and unacceptable commentary. We have worked with Mark in the past around the development of a few high school student athletes here at Clemson. None of that was ever on display for the handful of interactions we’ve had together. It’s nothing we will tolerate here or anywhere for that matter and we’ll be moving on from our working relationship.”

(Put it behind you ASAP. Took 2 minutes.)
 
Van Smith is throwing a lot of shade toward Danny Pearman for a guy who was recruited to Clemson by……..Danny Pearman. Smith leaving school early didn’t make a lot of sense to me at the time….he certainly seems to not be a fan these days. And LOL at the “no players like us anymore” narrative.

Wonder how much the UGA boosters paid Van Smith to connect this guy to Clemson rather than UGA

10 years that would work. Now, no matter what you say, it just opens a bigger can of worms. I just think you don't address it at all anymore.
