Visited Scar March 2 with IMG teammates.
Will visit Scar this morning (March 23) for a spring practice.
And will visit Scar April 1 for spring game.
I will be the most shocked person in the world if XT chooses us in December.
If it were me and I had a favorite team growing up, I would commit ASAP and try to build a class.

Yeah thinking that may be why we offered another DE just a few days ago

Two DE's we have recently offered are WDE's , so that shouldn't factor in . I think we are his leader honestly , and I don't blame him for playing it close to the vest and taking all the time he feels like he needs . Ultimately, if he does pick USuC we will be fine because we have other elite talent available and offered ...so no worries . Just a feeling I have that he is placating the Coots , and will be a Tiger .

Yeah we are loaded. We will be fine without him. I just really want him to come to Clemson because it will crush the coots souls. They would miss out on the only type of 5* that they ever have a chance with (a SC born player who grew up a coot fan), because they will never land any other 5* players. That would make them cry for months.

There is the argument that XT is a coot and a coot lock, which he is, but if he really cared about the coots he would have committed to them months ago and started building a class there. Instead he is essentially trolling both schools.

Unfortunately for him, he has no choice. The coot fan base in Florence has threatened his family's business with no support if he chooses the Tigers.

So maybe he is waiting so long so his parents can continue to rake in money until he commits to clemson

I totally agree with you. Unfortunately some of these kids just look at the short term gains. Playing time, continuing to be one of top dogs on the team and some extra benefits (wink wink). XT is possibly overwhelmed by all the attention muschump and the numerous coots are giving him. It's like they are tripping over themselves to get this one kid. Many kids don't like to compete and they don't like like not being the top dog anymore so they sale out themselves for all the wrong reasons.
I hope he can see through the all the fluff and unattainable expectations at SC.
If XT wants to learn how to play football improving his skills, have a chance at the NFL, receive family atmosphere, a top notch education, and coaches who genuinely care about turning him in to a good man with good morals obtaining the tools to he will need to be successful in life he will choose CLEMSON.
I pray he makes the right decision. The decision has lifelong consequences or rewards. More important I hope XT is praying that he makes the right decisions.

... his family's business can survive 3 years, then it won't matter.
Because it stands to reason he will receive a very large pay day from the NFL.

I keep reading this on our boards all the time. Can anyone help me understand where this comes from? Are some of our Tigernets posters living there and have heard this being said? Personally, I think making a threat like this would drive a recruit away. I have a hard time believing this is anything more than a rumor that won't go away.

I live in Florence and it's the stupidest BS rumor with zero truth to it that I've ever heard.

that makes sense. I think he is either going to enjoy all the "love" or he is waiting to see how uscjv does against Clemson. If there is no improvement at uscjv then Clemson stands a chance. He may opt to commit to another school and not have to play against uscjv.

He will not make or break what Clemson is doing here, and there is no shortage of options. For me, getting a guy like... TE MUSTAPHA MUHAMMAD Would be just a big!

I don't really give a rats rump what he does. If he's determined to spend the next three or four years of his life playing for a perennial doormat, having zero chance to play for any kind of championship whatsoever, spending his holidays at home or in popular destinations like Shreveport and Birmingham, and losing to Clemson, we will be more than happy to accommodate him.

Missing out on Nkemdiche didn't hurt us one bit. If he wants to play for a loser, I ain't mad at him and I'm not concerned missing out him, cause he will be the one missing out on us.

After reading some of that Twitter stuff, I am so thankful I never use that. And I thought Pig-Latin was bad enough.

Honestly we should just tell him hey man, do what you want but we're gonna win with or without you. I'm looking at this like when rashan gary bolted for Michigan over us. Dexter Lawrence makes him look like a bum so it really isn't going to matter in the grand scheme of things

I think we lead, honestly.
It's almost as if he's looking for a reason not to pick SCar. They'll have another sub-.500 season and that'll seal the deal.

One player does not make a team and he will not make their defense into a formidable force. XT should not make the same mistake Zach Bailey did.

Our Coaches are pretty good at Recruiting and understanding most underlying circumstances. He has said it will be them or us. Many things can happen between now and signing day. It might turn out that we are not "All In" for XT either.
