Clemson Dismisses Safety Desmond Brown

Redshirt Freshman FS Desmond Brown has been dismissed from the football team for violation of team rules. He has not played this year and wasn't mentioned much this offseason, and was expected to transfer this winter anyway. Tennessee was the other top choice for this former #12 ranked, 4-star Safety from Alabama, yet another failure in a long line of what Alabama/Auburn let Clemson take (Buice, McClain, Brown, The Clear brothers, Traylor, Darrell Smith, etc. etc.). I expect him to try to transfer to UT.
This makes 3 players who have been dismissed or are no longer with the team during the season: Bryce McNeal, Demont Buice, and now Brown. We expect to see at least 2 or 3 more transfers coming this winter as well, due to lack of playing time.

Hate to Lose guys, but
the reality is maybe half of every class ever make big contributions. May as well free up the scholly now while there is time to fill it. At least Dabo has enough sense to stay on a lot of kids until NSD, unlike Bowden. Agree recruiting Ala. makes no sense, but Region and Howard look promising. Would rather see us get back into the mid-atalntic and northeast.
Transfers
Hope we don’t lose any of our stud WRs who haven’t played as much as some expected this yr. I have really enjoyed watching Jaron step up & hold these guys off. Hes been really good this yr. Just hope Peake or Humphries, etc get impatient. Plz tell me theres no rumblings 2 this effect!

Peake and Humphries have seen the field and had opportunities.
The most likely candidates to transfer are some of the young DB’s, or maybe a young DL. Or Beasly or Parker, although I think both will play a good bit next year.

Too bad to lose a 4 star young guy
He might have turned out well. Must have really blown it to just get kicked straight off the team.
No 5 suspensions and reinstatements?
Brown was considered a miss in evaluation
If he didn’t get kicked off he was going to be leaving anyway.
This isn’t over. You’ll probably see a few more kids leave that haven’t contributed and aren’t expected to contribute next year.

I hope Victor Beasly sticks it out, because I think he will be a good one for us.
Also hope Parker sticks it out because his time will come.

I wonder what sort of team rules one has to violate to get thrown off the team for good
Seems like it would be serious. I suppose he might have broken other rules before, and we didn’t hear about it, so this was the last straw.
Another guy gets suspended from the team and reinstated, so presumably this is worse?
