Dabo Swinney doesn't think the players in the college football transfer portal are good enough for Clemson.
Dabo Swinney and Clemson are known for not taking full advantage the college football transfer portal, and now the Tigers head coach is addressing critics of his program's approach
Swinney defended his transfer portal policy during the ACC spring meetings and again emphasized his interest in recruiting players straight out of high school, while adding that he doesn't really think any of the players in the portal are good enough for Clemson."There's three types of players in the portal," Swinney said, via SiriusXM. "It's really pretty simple. Most of the guys in the portal aren't good enough to play for us. That's just the reality of it...
"They're not good enough to come in and play for us. We'd rather take a good high school player as long as we can get them, which we do, and you develop them." "The second type of guy that goes int he portal is he's only going in the portal as a formality because the deal has already been done," Swinney continued.
