Watson back in town Sunday to spend time with Morris
Clemson's 2014 QB commit, Deshaun Watson, was back in town for a few hours Sunday afternoon as he watched Clemson's basketball team. Why was he back in town so soon after his official visit? Is he All In? What did he talk about with offensive coordinator Chad Morris? Full Story » |

How can you not like this guy. He a 100% ALL IN, and he is a great role-model. I can't wait to see him and swag tag-team in 2014.

This kid has accounted for more than 150 touchdowns in three years with a senior year yet to play. That is almost impossible to believe. If he stays healthy he could have 225+ in his career .Sounds as if he is ALL IN too! Great job Dabo.

Better hope Morris stays. If he leaves i think Watson follows.

The quality of the character of the young men we are getting is the most impressive thing I notice. Sure, we have a rare few slip ups from time to time, but I would put the character of our guys up against any team in the country. There is a reason for that, and it starts with the examples and the expectations our staff sets and the accountability they all are held to. Character does matter!

I'm sure the AJseC will still find a way to hound him

no matter how committed he is. Unlike others, I think Watson knows what he wants and will stick with us! Can't wait to have him on campus!

Wouldn't it be great to have Hood in the backfield with him? Not sure it will happen but I can dream can't I? 2014 will be a great recruiting class for our team. Especially if we get the job done this season.

Canceled tickets?

That's seriously showing some commitment to throw money away like that. I'm glad we have a kid that know's what he wants and what his word means, not that I would have been against him taking the visit. Well done Watson.

this season, Morris will likely get a head coaching job, and his connection with Deshaun could adversely affect our ability to hold on to his commitment. In the end, I suppose this is a problem, but it is a good problem to have.

After his official visit to Clemson, Watson cancelled a trip to Ohio State- wasting a pre-purchased ticket- because he said he needed to stay true to Clemson.“I didn’t really think about it when I bought the ticket,” he said. “I was just thinking that I wanted to visit. After a while, I just had to think that the stuff that I was doing to Clemson was bad. It was just one of those things that I had to do. I just decided to stay home and help my basketball team try to get a win instead of taking the trip.
I hope that Coach Morris listened to this young man's comments and learned from them, or that Coach Morris told Watson of his experience in interviewing with other colleges to help the young man understand the impact "visits" make.

Time with him. We will have another good year and Morris will get an offer that he likes. Watson is turning into the glue for this class and we will get some other recruits because of him. Thus, I am extremely concerned that Morris leaves and Watson follows.
Also, did anyone watch his comments in the videos about how he would like to get an offer from the USC or the Ducks. He sounded very interested in those schools.
Get ready for some more drama. This thing is far from over. I will believe he is all in when he signs his LOI.

agreed..Watson will go with Morris...Morris is the one that made the original offer. He spends time with Morris, talks about Morris' offense. Hope he stays, but Urban has already tried to get Morris once, mainly to get Watson. He will try to make Morris the highest paid OC and asst head coach

You sir are foolish. Morris is the highest paid assistant coach and Ohio St would be paying two outlandish paychecks to get Morris because of his buyout. The only way Morris leaves is for a head coaching job at a top program.
