He seems like a clever young man He will fit in nicely with the other great players we are bringing in. Having that meaningful degree will be important to him I'm sure. The longer he takes the more he will realize what is going on in Columbia. Muschamps will do ok there because he has a win at all cost approach and I'm sure that this potential player will see that that only spells trouble for the program!

Tough one for sure.

Grew up a Gamecock fan but what is in his best interest from a college football experience isn't there. I am sure the pressure on him is immense.

He will do well, wherever. It is basically down to what level of team success he wants to have during collegiate career.

These statements feel like folks that want to be famous


Mar 6, 2017, 10:39 AM

but complain about the fame.

That being said, I can't imagine the pressure that folks put on top rated athletes especially now in the social media world. To me its a little creepy that growd-a$$ men follow teenagers on twitter.

Give me Stephon Wynn, KJ Henry and Justin Mascoll and we can call it a day.

Won't disagree with you on this one. Wait a minute

Wynn plays a different position.

Unlike you I hope we land him. We also gain nothing by trashing him.

Sure we do


Mar 6, 2017, 3:03 PM [ in reply to Wynn plays a different position. ]

We make ourselves feel better when/if he goes somewhere else by making ourselves feel like getting him to Clemson wasn't a big deal in the first place. Plus, if we can convince ourselves that his character is somehow lacking, then even if he's great wherever he goes, we can tell ourselves that he still wasn't somebody we wanted. And, obviously to some people, not immediately wanting to go to Clemson and/or having interest in other schools is indicative of a character flaw.

"Fans are crazy"


Mar 6, 2017, 11:26 AM

**Proceeds to spend hours digging through Twitter mentions and message board conversations from fans**

To put it as gently as possibly - you can't have it both ways. You can't desire to be in the public eye and put every single one of the musings that pop into your young mind on Twitter, and then turn right around and bemoan the fact that those public messages are scrutinized. If you don't want to open yourself up to misinterpretation from "crazy" fans, perhaps it would be best to step away from constant Twitter fingers.

GO TIGERS!!


Still Confused


Mar 6, 2017, 11:29 AM

I'm still a little confused. I know it's been discussed on tnet like a gazillion times but did someone post something to/on "his" twitter account. I can't begin to imagine the pressure he's gotten but it kinda comes with the territory these days.

But from what he posted, is he saying that NOW he hasn't decided on any school? Or is it still down to uscjr and us? Confused.

Never understood why some fans try and help with...


Mar 6, 2017, 11:30 AM

recruiting. I would leave that to our coaches and other recruits we have committed. Fans that get in his ear or online only hurt our chances it seems.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

So much this. Then they insult people who won't come here


Mar 6, 2017, 2:56 PM

It's idiotic. We have a bunch of people here who look at the statement Thomas is making and immediately count it against him, as if people he doesn't even know acting crazy towards him is his fault. It's embarrassing.

He is giving USC one last chance at a "hail mary". Go Tigers!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

If he is serious about the "Wait & See" Coot Season


Mar 6, 2017, 12:47 PM

Then he will be a Tiger.
Looking at their schedule, realistically they s\b 4 and 8, maybe 5 and 7 if they get lucky.
Or could easily be 3 and 9 too.
Their wins won't be quality either, so not even a bowl chance if they do squeeze out 5 and 7.

Good for him. Take your time and make the right decision for you XT. We would love to have ya but if being a TIGER for life is not the best choice then I wish you all the luck wherever you choose. That's what I would want for my son and I am sure it is what your parents want for you.

No dig on him but he's the one putting out tweets and pandering the media.

It's almost like a hot chick with a really nice rack wearing a very low cut blouse and showing off some serious cleavage, sans bra with her headlights on......

Oh. Right...as I was saying. Then the chick gets mad cuz a dude looked at her melons....glistening in the sunlight as she moves and they slowly move in unison with each other in a hypnotic, graceful fashion...


Anyway...my point is...don't fan the flames. Stay off twitter and social media. Don't feed the beast! Turn the headlights off! Put on a sweater! Wear a turtleneck!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Oh my! Shouldn't be that hard if it's down to those two schools!


Mar 6, 2017, 4:12 PM

Clemson national champs, USC barely bowl eligible. Clemson multiple first round draft picks, how many USC? Lol. Clemson new indoor football op center and indoor field. Graduation rate higher than any school in football. #1 fan base in america. #1 in ticket sales in ACC. Need I really go on? I could check these boxes all day for recruits. Haha
