Uiagalelei is in the tranfer portal as of 3:29pm
- Thread starter Permacock70
- Start date
Probably headed to UCLA....who will also now more than likely be getting his brother. Not a bad combination to walk into.
It would have been nice if he stuck around to ruin another offensive year for them.
I wish him well, wherever he goes. Actually, I'd LOVE to see him tear it up on the west coast now that he's gone from Clemson.
If he stars next year, it will really throw shade on the coaching he got this year.
I heard a National sportswriter say, “I think we are to the point where every school will lose a QB and gain a QB from the portal in the great annual QB swap.” He might be on to something. Will be interesting to see how the dominoes fall for us with Rattler and company. He also said, “expect to be surprised by several starters and even some superstars pack up and move.” I mention all of this because no one is surprised at DJ moving on. But there will be some other very interesting moves in the next couple of weeks.
Looking back at his recruiting profile, the guy only had one visit, and it was Clemson. Some possibilities on where he may land. UCLA, senior QB, the rest are kinda meh. They do have one transfer. The other is Alabama, who recruited him pretty hard. Young is gone, the remaining QB's on their roster are all freshman. But they do have two high 4-star QB's committed now. Not sure how they managed to get two 4-star QBs to commit in the same recruiting class. Going to assume one has been told he may come in and start. However, Alabama will probably not want him after seeing him play for Clemson. So my guess is UCLA. Close to home, good solid program, and weak QB competition.
I can not believe Alabama would seriously be interested in him. They have to have seen how big of a bust he is.
He might just find his groove he had vs ND and one other team his freshman year when Lawrence had the ‘rona’. He threw for about 450 yards in the close loss in South Bend. That guy has a great arm. His issues seem to be confidence, or the lack there of.
There's certainly a chance of that. But I feel like the chances are really slim given the last two years of play.
That's it. But he was the #1 pro style QB recruit that year per 247 Sports. I'll bet he balls out in practice, then can't hit air with the ball in games.
I'll bet a good QB coach could do wonders with him.
