This is such bull****, stop lying.
After a long hiatus, I popped in a while ago but still debated even bothering with NT and this thread anymore. I figured I'd keep an eye on it because I like discussing college football and hearing about what other fans think of their programs as well as Clemson now that it's an elite program. When I was in school, Tommy Bowden was coach and they were mediocre at best, I sat through some rough games while Clemsoning was going down so it's been pretty amazing to watch what's happened. But it's stuff like this that gets to the point where it's unbelievable to see how some people react.
I'm not a Dabo apologist by any means, there's a lot he says and does that I don't agree with. That being said, among other things I've read on here, the idea that "Dabo told/urged KB to transfer" is easily one of the biggest lies. Unless he's suddenly changed his story (and everyone close to the program will co-sign it), Kelly himself said that when Dabo made the decision to start Trevor, he informed them that Sunday and KB initially reacted with some disappointment but like everything is fine. KB is the one who decided to leave a QB meeting the next day (Monday) and was given the day off because he was understandably emotional, not show up the following day (Tuesday) at all without telling anyone even though that morning Dabo was still under the impression he would be practicing and would still play on Saturday. That evening he texts Dabo to say he's leaving and then an article was published the next morning (Wednesday) from an interview he did with his handler's brother who writes for the newspaper, saying it was a "slap in the face" and he "didn't get a fair shot". Granted, I don't blame KB at all for being upset at the time, a text is fine to inform Dabo that he wanted to transfer but the kid spoke to and had an article written about transferring before it was actually announced on Wednesday.

Also, I'm sure you think he's lying but:
“Personnel decisions are made all the time. You just have to respect his decision,” Swinney said of Bryant. “This is what he feels is best for him, and even though you don’t agree with it, I don’t really know what else we could have done.”
With the NCAA changing transfer rules to benefit the student-athletes even more, a player who has not used a redshirt can play up to four games in a season and still be eligible to redshirt. So, Bryant will be allowed to redshirt and transfer to another school for his final year of eligibility.
Swinney gave Bryant the option to stay with Clemson for the remainder of the season if he wanted to and then transfer following the season. However, Bryant did not want to do that.
“I did tell him that if he wanted to go somewhere else and play next year, I would agree to not play him the rest of the year and he could continue to stay and be a part of it — if that’s what he wanted to do, and I would support him in that,” Swinney said. “But that’s not what he wanted to do.
“At the end of the day, he made a decision that he felt was best for him, and you have to respect that and move on. He has to move on, we have to move on and get ready to go play Syracuse.”
I'm not going to talk about whether KB should or shouldn't get a ring, I can see either side of it and I truly do not care.
