JD and Judah Davis

Had to get a offer from Clemson cause of their dad. I played against these boys in HS and Im telling you they was non-exstintent, they dont have offers from any other schools.. Its like if you play for Daniel you automatically go to Clemson, Im not tryna say they dont work for it cus Nuk, Shaq, Jarvis Jenkins, and Deshawn got there cause of talent Jaleon Oglesby too they special players.. But the rest of them boys from Daniel are going to Clemson cause they got connections and ties to the university. My high school had a handful of athletes and none of us was getting looked at by Clemson, they only invited us to games and camps but no offers. Ask Daniel head coach Randy Robinson about Seneca athletes and he'll tell you hiself how many great players that have came thru there these last 5 years. DJ Greenlee is another Daniel player that got offered by Clemson cause of his DAD. He a ran 4.92 at the shrine bowl combine as a linebacker smh. Im jus tired of seeing all these Daniel boys going to Clemson because of their Connections.

Any chance Clemson didn't offer you a scholarship as a result of your grammatical capabilities?

Barely qualifying to get into Clemson would put him as a genius at usuc or any of a number of secheat teams. They (cootie pies) don't want to go there when it comes to academics.

Name a few of those great Seneca athletes that wound up playing for a D1 school please.
Seneca has not been real good in the last five years from what I remember. There was a time when they were, and probably will be again.
Just not lately.

Since Wayne Green came he made a huge difference, 2012 season was the best with 10 wins and we lost to Fairfeild Central in play-offs 44-42. Year before that we beat the almighty Lions off a FG. Then lost to Greer in Play offs.

You realize that is the same thing. Except they won't count towards the 85 in 2014, they will count starting 2015. It is a deferred scholarship for one year.
Grey shirts and walkons are different.

They do count towards 85 but the '15 class will be much larger than '14 that means they won't have as much of an impact numbers wise.

I'm sorry but you sound really bitter. It's hard to take anything you say seriously because you sound like such a whiner! Maybe they did get a grey shirt offer because of who their daddy is... Who cares?

your immaturity along with your lies to attract attention is pathetic on my part...
And many of the athletes listed on T-net are not yet that height and weight...they are often projections or sometimes just inaccurate.
There are also other factor that go into selecting recruits to offer you know...grades, character, need for position. Are you prepared to submit a bio on on these non offered athletes that covers all these bases besides saying they are good?

Chris Robinson is right behind Marcus Lattimore in touchdowns, Lattimore had 34, Robinson had 33 his senior year.
Trae Earle best athlete around here, 6-1 185 QB/CB 4.4 40, went to Charlotte Combine summer time of senior year and earned #1 CB at that combine and all Clemson did was lead him on and offered Marty Williams over him, Williams commited to Clemson. Williams never ran down the hill. That should tell yall alot
Thomas Brown 6-2 200 safety and is a good student never got an offer from Clemson even tho GA TEch offered him he commited to Furman to stay close to home.
Just to name a few former SHS athletes that Clemson never paid attention to but other schools did
Austin Hunter
TJ Boyd (Tajh's brother)
Jalen Hunter 6-3 280 DT and could play!!! (Newberry)
CJ Washington flat out speedster, Clemson never looked his way
Dorian Raines 5-10 160 WR over 1500 yards and 15 touchdowns his senior year, got invited personally by Dabo to games and camps.
Kenny Watt hard hitting CB, 6' 190 (Louisburg JC)
Casey Baldwin big O lineman never looked at by Clemson but is suppose to have breakout season at Newberry this year.
Jason Viatairs WR who commited to Applachian ST but played kicker. He played on 2005 team when they beat Michigan
Moral of story: Seneca had just as much athletes as Daniel, if not more. We just never got the Exsposure like Daniel cus their 5 minutes away. Yall would never understand if yall didnt play 4 years for Seneca. Even Daniel players knew had playmakers they just had a good run these last couple years. Wayne Green has got Seneca on the right track and their about to do something special.

So your comparing Clemson to Newberry, App State, and a JC????? Face it Daniel just puts out better players. I'm from Greenville so I don't have a team in this "rivalry" I'm just stating facts.

Yep he sure did. But at least he had a D1 offer. UCLA offered his sophmore year, Duke offered too. He liked Furman and I dont see anything wrong that my friend. He has chance to make it and that's all that matter

GT tech coaches came to 1 of our practices and asked Coach Green why is Clemson not nabbing Seneca athletes and that's a fact!! He told us that after practice, myself and a few more players got invited personally by GT to come to a camp and that's when he got offered.

Like I said if you didnt play 4 years for Seneca you wouldnt know how many athletes we had. Kenya Brooks wasnt even the best in his time. Terry Blassingame was, Chad Hughes now them boys was hell on the field. I listed ATHs we had.

So why the bias against Clemson? Just because ur close doesn't mean they have to get you. Be mad at Georgia, they're close. If you're good enough you'll be playing somewhere, point blank period. Sounds to me like you like to toot your own horn, probably sit around with all of your out of shape high school friends and talk about "man we was almost good". And alot of times those offers you hear your high school friends talk about are not offers, just invitations to come to a camp or come to school and walk on. An there is nothing wrong with that, just like there isn't anything wrong with admitting that you didn't have the size, speed, potential, brains, or dedication for major college football

Just like the Daniel boys dont have offers from them schools either.. Greenlee only offer was from Clemson, Davis brothers only got 1 offer.. Only players that had multiple offers was Nuk, Shaq, and Jarvis Jenkins.. Even Deshawn Williams had only ONE D1 offer

Na my friend... Imma huge Clemson fan, no bias at all. You contridicting my story. My story is about JD and Judah and Daniel ties to Clemson. And belive me I worked very hard for a D1 offer and you right it's my size that held me back. Im currently at Greenville tech working my ### off to make it D1. And no it was offical scholarships, I seen it with my own eyes with the Head coach personal signature on every one so dont try to play my boy.. Now go find CJ since you miss em so much... FYI: Im deff not out of shape lol

Exactly. I had buddies in school with "offers" from Standford, LSU, Colorado, and a couple other weird ones. They weren't offers though, just "we have noticed you, keep it up and maybe you will have a shot at D1 football" letters. All of those kids saw that as basically a scholarship offer and started slacking off, they all work around town at local restaurants and businesses now because those colleges didn't come calling. The players will play high level college ball, the ones that don't probably weren't as great as some people thought.

Seriously it sounds like sour grapes to me, sure SHS is decent but all those guys would have gone to another big school if they could play FOOTBALL as good as they could run.. So what if your fast or 6-2 200 pounds. Chris Macintosh would have blown the doors off of all them guys and Clemson didnt offer him. Fact is that SHS has never and will never be DWD point blank period and this is just stupid of you to come on here and hate on kids because they got something you and your home boys from the hood of Seneca didnt..

Lol I bet so, I ain't too bad myself if we having a #### swinging contest. Playing college baseball, 4 years, and never once cried about not getting looked at. You take what you get and go with it, not moan and complain because somebody got it and you don't. I ain't trying to play your boy, just telling the truth. If you were half as good, and your boy too, as you think you are you could have picked where you wanted to go. Trendon Holliday I remember was a pretty small guy, he seemed to do ok. LaMichael James seemed to be a pretty small guy, but you're rightist just against Seneca if either one of them would have been at Seneca they would be at Greenville Tech. Good luck on your journey to make it, probably would be a much better story if you didn't trash others. Who cares if they got offers because of their dad, their dad worked his ### off to get where he is and if they want to offer his sons scholarships, there is nothing you can do ab it. Sometimes you gotta stop patting your own back and just bare down. Good luck stud, if your half as good as you think you are you can get back on tigernet today and show us your NFL pictures. And all of your boys with all of the offers from everywhere, except Clemson

I would like to apologize for sounding ignorant about Seneca as I know Joe Don Reams and his family well as well as Kenya Crooks and a host of other fine football players that I played against when SHS was special and had a fine program, I just dont like the fact that you are hating on young men who put in work just like you. And If I recall those men went to the upper state championship this year so they are doing something right.

You right, I played ball with a kid from Seneca but he seemed to do ok. But good luck to you man, there's only one person that can decide how good you are and that's you. So go get it big fella. My only problem with this was downing kids for getting an opportunity. And just blaming Clemson for you and your teammates not getting the chance to play division 1 football. But by all means, good luck to you. If you're name means all in since 90 and born in 90, and I was also born in 90, you should be 22 or 23. So college football might be out of the question, depending on all the eligibility issues and where you have been at in school. But good luck to you man, grind and go get it

I would say that a kid of Jeff Davis' would be a good gamble when it comes to predicting someone who would have a great chance to play the game and be a great asset. They may be busts, but I'd bet that won't happen. We are at a stage that Dabo wouldn't take that chance if he didn't see the real potential there. Get over it. They probably will be great assets to our program.

I think most HS athletes overestimate the ability of their friends and teammates. Same thing goes for many HS coaches (I used to be one). We are naturally biased toward our friends.
The fact is, not everyone is really good enough. Some may be good enough, but never "hit it off" with coaches for some reason. The players you mention, not getting any other D1 offers, says all we need to know...
When I was in HS, I just KNEW that many of my teammates were dissed when they didn't get D1 offers and ended up at 1AA schools. It turns out they weren't even good enough for 1AA and washed out after a year. Only 1 of my teammates ended up going D1 and he did really well.
As a coach, I tried to push some kids to some D1 schools...only 1 ever got a good offer. My perception wasn't the same as a college recruiter. Neither is yours.
College coaches look at a lot of things when recruiting players and I trust that they can spot the D1 players better than I can.
