Zack Bailey

So Zack Bailey chose SCAR ... well, wouldn't it have actually been a bit weird if he hadn't?
His heart was always with the gamecocks, and while his head may briefly have given a thought toward the Tigers, most of these kids go with their hearts.
There are exceptions of course, but honestly, when they don't go with their hearts, I'm usually a little suspicious, because it would go against my nature to love Clemson all my life, but then suddenly choose SCAR as a high school senior.
I mean seriously. Having grown up in the Palmetto State and having strong ties to Clemson all my life, I cannot imagine EVER being on-the-fence about which school I would chose if both schools offered scholarships.
Kids make these CU/SCAR decisions when they are in grade school and changing their minds is highly unlikely regardless of how things might be going at their favorite team when commitment time rolls around.
A high school player may chose to leave the state to play, but if they decide to remain in state, they know early on where they want to go and with rare exception, that doesn't change during the throes of the recruitment process.
Zack Bailey went with his heart instead of his head when he chose SCAR. Fortunately plenty of great Palmetto State players go with their heart AND their head when they choose Clemson.
Go Tigers ... the streak ends in November!

he was always a coot, and we are not taking any more Olineman. Bailey was allowed to come to the swinney cookout as a favor and will forever be reminded what he will never have, a clemson family.

I thought he was from Washington state? Does he have ties to USC?

this one stinks!! This kid is originally from the west coast and a relatively recent transplant. He has NO connection to SC. And the good guys had ALL the advantages here. Bailey was actually living with a CU family- his best friend's family, and said best friend has actually committed to us to play baseball!!
No way we should have lost him. Caldwell loves this kid and considers him an elite level prospect. That is why we spent so much energy on getting him to the cookout after rumors surfaced that he was drifting to the dark side. Originally Bailey was ALL Clemson.Our staff went all in on him to get him back thinking straight. And they thought we had him back. But he never should have drifted in the 1st place.
Altho interior linemen are not usually as highly thought of as tackles, this kid is a difference maker and the staff thinks he is as good or better than any of our other highly rated o-line recruits.
Something stinks to hi heaven about this and I would like to know what it is

They had the major he wanted

That's the #1 reason any kid should pick a school. I like the way he handled his recruitment. You win some , you lose some. We concentrate on 2016 now. And don't forget that our oline recruits we have is one of the best if not the best already.
With that said, I hope he has the major case of diarrhea every time we play the coots.

Rablin Man..... Maybe it stinks because the ole ball coach has waxed Dabo five times in a row no matter how well Dabo recruits.

If Bailey has no long term history in SC then 5-in-a-row

is definitely a tremendous incentive.
And looky ... he may sign on with SCAR just in time to see it all turn back around again.

I don't usually use words like this, but I can't wait until we win and tell the coots to shove this streak up their ***.
Can someone tell me how many other schools are getting commits from kids who haven't even visited? I think the coots have about 2. Am I right or wrong? And why would a kid commit the next 3-5 years of his life to a place he has never been to you ask? Yeah, me too. I would think gifts, jobs, etc. could persuade one.
