THE ONES YOU GET / Clemson Tigers LIVE 196 / ALL IN SHOW 176 Hosts: Jordan Bowman & Edward “Tiger Paw” Craven (TPC) Podcast: Voice of College Football (ClemsonVOCFB) Length: ~1 hour 50 minutes (based on transcript) Air Date: May 19, 2026 (referencing 2026 season prep)

Positive, community-focused Clemson football show with heavy emphasis on recent roster news, empathy for a player’s health battle, recruiting momentum, and honest reflection on other sports. Mix of serious discussion, fan interaction, and sponsor plugs.

1. Opening & Community (First ~10-15 min)

• Standard intro, FanDuel sponsor plug, shoutouts to regulars/channel members (David, Tiger Devil, John, Air Mike).
• Emphasis on viewer support making the offseason bearable.

2. Major News: Kevin (Heaven) Brown-Schuler (Soph DT)

• Diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma → out for entire 2026 season.
• Hosts express deep sympathy/prayers; TPC shares personal family experience with lymphoma.
• Significant blow to DT depth (already lost Courtney Kelly — ACL, plus prior departures like Peter Woods, Demonte Capehart, Stephon Green).
• Emotional but hopeful tone — focus on his fight and long-term outlook.

3. Defensive Tackle Room Outlook

• Remaining options: Amari Adams (high upside), Vic Burley (opportunity year), Marcus Strong, new transfer Marcus Strong? + Juco Andy Berbergia, etc.
• New transfer Devarick Woods (Texas State, RS Senior, 6'1-6'3, ~290 lbs) discussed as key plug-and-play depth, strong run defender, Juco grinder mentality.
• Woods committed recently; seen as timely addition after injuries/news. One-and-done but valuable veteran presence.

4. Recruiting Wins

• Jarrell Chandler (4-star S, Nashville, TN): Big commitment over Tennessee (hometown) and Miami. Fits Tom Allen’s defense (size/length/versatility at S/LB). Hosts call it a “massive” big-boy recruiting win and optics boost.
• Gary Walker (4-star RB, Fairburn, GA): Set to announce commitment the next day (finalists included Clemson, Penn State, etc.). Strong push from Clemson after Andrew Beard went to Florida.

5. Other Sports Quick Hits

• Baseball: Season ends with loss to Notre Dame in ACC Tournament. Frustrating, low-scoring, missed opportunities. “Thankfully it’s over.” Back to drawing board for Eric Bakich in Year 4 (portal + staff work needed).
• Softball: Eliminated in Athens Regional final. Tough offensive showing vs. UNCG/Georgia despite strong pitching (Abby Dunning). Young team (only 2 seniors out) → optimism for 2027 with Maness back + portal/recruiting.

6. Basketball Portal Addition

• David Fuchs (6'9", ~245 lbs, 4-star transfer from San Francisco/WCC): Interior presence, rebounding, scoring. Hosts love the fit for ACC frontcourts. Brad Brownell went 4-for-4 on portal visitors.

7. Listener Q&A / Miscellaneous

• Playoff expansion criticism (unpopular with fans, driven by TV money).
• NIL/portal speculation, roster pay (Will Shipley guessed as high earner).
• University debt discussion (~$1.15B — infrastructure-related, not directly impacting athletics much).
• Optimism for 2026 football despite losses; recruiting should land in top 10-15 range.
• Various other fan comments (Braves, Kevin Jennings hype, etc.).

8. Closing

• Promos for VOCFB website, shop, podcast platforms, reviews.
• Tease next show (likely post-Gary Walker commitment).
• Go Tigers sign-off.

• TPC on Brown-Schuler: Personal, heartfelt lymphoma story.
• On Chandler: “Big recruiting win… Clemson can still swing a big stick.”
• Baseball: “Disaster of a year… one of the worst in modern history.”
• General vibe: Realistic but hopeful — acknowledge setbacks but highlight portal/recruiting responses.
