If USF shows marked improvement, and his family really wants to see him play 6-7 times a year, just a short drive away, I think there's still a remote chance. Slim...but not zero.

Winning and creating a tangible buzz around this program has got to be a priority for this staff. Win the AAC, and things will fall in line. If after this season, he sticks with Clemson, best of luck to him. Let's go Team Tampa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he isn't going to UF. Good luck to him. UF recruiting is a DISASTER right now. They just held FNL and ended up with fewer verbals than they had before. We just took St. Louis from the pool of guys they thought they had a shot with. I look at that schedule and I don't see 10 wins. I'll be surprised if they pull 8.

I'm sure 4-8 last year, with Muschamp in danger, will make some recruits take a wait & see approach. Sadly, they are Florida, so barring something terrible, they'll still pull a Top 20 class.

I'm not worried about our RB future. : ) this kid is so overrated! doesn't strike me as a loyal type... keep saying that another local boy chooses to leave the area cwt will not succeed like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't and still don't think we have a real shot with this kid, but the aid agreement is totally non binding with zero risk for the kid. He has no reason not to sign this, even if he switches. Probably not all that much upside either since he's not the type of player who is going to get his offer pulled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I see this approach as a better tool for the borderline guys, who want colleges to commit & be obligated, rather than risk getting dumped late. Good article in the Palm Beach Post today regarding "non-commitable offers" and other gaming of the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
