Korncoot is likely the reason

why Morant didnt come, and could be the reason why Allen doesnt.
UGA found out Morant was coming at the last minute because it was reported on the net, and then called him and likely threatened to take his offer if he went.
Now the same for Allen could happen. Lets hope not.

Morant and Allen are two different situations
Jan 21, 2010, 10:12 PM

Morant didn't have the choice to go anywhere. UGA has 3-4 other DE committed already. If his offer gets pulled, he really doesn't have a ton of choices. He pretty much has to go to Clemson.
Allen on the other hand is the best safety in the country. He could also play WR. If he was dropped, every team in the nation would line up to take him. I don't think Bama can make that threat to pull his offer. He is too good.

Morant has 20 offers man...
he could and should do what he wants to do...
I hate it when kids committed to Clemson visit other places... Clemson just told a kid not to go and he didn't, but if it were me or even my son and he was a 4/5 star kid, I would tell him to visit anywhere he wanted. I would also tell him not to commit until he was completely sure, but even if he committed early if a coach told him his scholly would be pulled if he visited somewhere else, I'd say do it just for spite...

Morant has offers but a lot are not commitable at this time
Jan 22, 2010, 8:26 PM

A lot of those schools that offered have backed off or are full at his position. He does not have his choice of schools. He is really skinny and rated just on potential. He needs a redshirt and can contribute after 2-3 years of strength training.
Allen is possibly the #1 player in the country. Everyone would take him. Can be an impact player from day 1.
Completely different situations. And Morant does not have his choice of schools.

Then they shouldn't act like they're breaking it. "Tigernet has learned..." Why give the impression it's their story if they just listen to Korn on the radio and then report it, especially if it's considered damaging???

What?

Dabo "gave" Spiller the opportunity to join the Clemson family, be a star football player, earn a valuable degree, and be respected for his contributions athletically and academically.
Allen will be "given" the same opportunity by Dabo.

.360 this year....bye bye...he is a first rounder with a major paycheck. Word on the street is he is already being projected first rounder. Be hard to say no to a 2mil paycheck.....maybe the brothers want to stay together and we will take them both

Whoa there cowboy. I have heard nothing about Parker
Jan 21, 2010, 10:04 PM

being even remotely close to a 1st round pick. In fact, those that know the deal are saying that while Parker may have a great arm, and be an above average hitter, he is a below average fielder that makes way too many errors. He is seen as a DH at this point, and DH's do NOT get drafted in the first couple of rounds unless they are super special, and while KP is darn good, he is not super special. Most are predicting he will stay at Clemson. IF you have something in writing to support this first round nonsense, please provide a link.

common. The best college hitters are typically hitting .400+
If KP is not hitting near or over .400 it will support the analysis I wrote above, which is pretty much the consensus of everything I've read about Parker.

I think long term he's a better FB player and the NFL has
Jan 22, 2010, 11:37 PM

changed some. With spread offenses so common and the success of Pennington & Brees, teams are more apt to give a shorter guy a chance IF he is a true passing QB, not a dual threat guy, which Parker is, a thrower. Height is overblown with QBs because most OL are 6'4" and up so few QBs can see over them anyway. It's all about passing lanes.
The problem is, the NFL is hung up on physical numbers, which is why you see guys that were average players move up in the draft if they do great at the combines, but guys that are true ballers move down if they don't have great numbers in the combines. Then these high draft picks become busts because they were physical freaks like some guys we've had that never end up doing anything on the field.
This is EXACTLY why the Raiders suck! They draft guys based on speed, height, weight, combine BS, versus guys that did it on the field for years in college!!
You can have a team full of freaks, give me a dozen bill bates and woody dantzlers and my team will kill your team.
