Love KW3. Not many RBs have the ability to take it to the house on any play. He does.
That said, I got the sense from Clawson's comments heading into the bowl game that he wasn't losing any sleep over the guys that opted out. He justifiably lauded the 98% of the roster that stuck it out, and got the feeling that it was up to the guys that opted out to decide if they wanted to comeback, but Clawson wasn't going to go begging for their return. Once those guys missed the end of the season, the attachment of Walker and Rucker to WF was not the same (also, WF not nominating KWIII for all-ACC was no accident; that was sending a message). Given the relaxed transfer rules, it makes sense for both to see what the options are. Guessing everyone will want Walker. RB is a position that you can never have enough depth as even the 3rd guy on the depth chart gets carries. Rucker has size and ball skills. Power V schools will want him too.
Clawson appears mild mannered, but he is a hard ass. It's his way or go somewhere else. That's why he has been successful wherever he has gone.
Clawson doesn't give a **** if you don't like the RPO or if you want more jet sweeps or double pass plays; similarly, if a player thinks the grass is greener at another program, Clawson just moves on with the guys that buy-in. Wish KW3 was coming back, but the program will be strong with or without him.
