Getting Clelin Ferrell & Austin Bryant back was like getting two six-star recruits, Wilkins is like getting a ten star. The entire defensive line depth chart is back and we are adding some of the best DL recruits this recruiting class.

RE: Clemson DT Christian Wilkins is Returning...
I understand why Clemson fans would be excited to have that kid back because he is a wonderful player. However, I cannot for the life of me fathom why would that kid would want to go back to school? To win the national championship? He’s already done that. For the glory of the Purple and Orange? Uh, OK.
He is the number nine overall prospect according to Mel Kiper, Jr. That means he is basically a guaranteed first-round pick.
With all the money at stake, you have to go. There’s no upside whatsoever to returning and there is so much potential downside.
What could he possibly gain by coming back? Because I can think of a lot of things he stands to lose by playing poorly or getting injured or having an off the field issue. This decision stands to gain him almost nothing and could potentially cost him millions of dollars.
Whoever gave this kid this advice was doing him no favors whatsoever. I hope it works out for the kid but holy cow, this is an insanely selfish decision, IMHO.

Wow.
Kid has already graduated, AND experienced a senior day. Rated a sure fire top 15 draft pick ... and comes back.
There must be some powerful poo-nanny in Clemson. Cuz that's the only thing I can think of that would keep him in school.
