Question: ok settle it... spiller to Clemson?
Answer: Clemson has done a great job. We think Clemson is a strong player with Spiller, but nothing will be settled until he sends in the LOI tomorrow Question: Spiller update ... any and all info???? Answer: No concrete, I will say his FSU visit did not go as I thought it would Question: What is your gut feeling on Spiller? Answer: He will keep me very busy tonight and tomorrow. He will also make the fan in me toss and turn in my sleep tonight Question: Where do we finish in the rankings if we land Spiller? Answer: 13-15 Question: will coots pull any last minute surprises? Answer: The ball is not bouncing their way right now Question: mick: we waiting on anyone other than spiller? Answer: This is Trey. Spiller and Sims are all that is left Question: mick: where does this class ranki w/out spiller and w/spiller? Answer: w/o 18-21, w/ 13-15 Question: Sounds like Sims didn't have a great FSU visit either. Answer: We have dug and dug with Sims, but the Sims family handles everything very close to the vest. I said Sunday I would be shocked if he didn't go to FSU, I will downgrade that to "surprised" Question: Do we keep Sapp? Answer: YES! Question: Any surprises tomorrow minus Spiller? Answer: Tomorrow is NSD anything can and probably will happen Question: Does the ball ever bounce South Carolina's way? Answer: It did on their little winning streak Question: What's with the Rivals' rumors about Sapp changing his mind? Anything to those rumors? Answer: No some people just will not let things go Question: Might Sims wait and see what Spiller does and then possibly commit to Clemson? Answer: No, Spiller will not affect Sims. Sims and his family know where he is going Question: Who will decommit from the coots tomorrow? Answer: I would watch Captain Munnerlyn closely Question: What went wrong with Spiller @ FSU? Answer: Nothing necessarily went wrong, but if you tracked their weekend, he did not come away sounding as overwhelmed as the kids that committed Question: How much does Spiller play next season if he signs with us? Answer: Thats an if question I'd rather answer around lunch tomorrow Question: Does Clemson REALLY have a shot at anyone left? Will there be the 'Clay' shocker or could we get McIntoshed? Answer: No indications of a McIntosh, and Clemson is a factor with Sims and Spiller Question: so in year #2 spurrier still having problems? losing stock must have hurt Answer: Stockstill was a major factor in their recruiting, and his loss has hurt. There is no way in my opinion Adam Patterson goes to Michigan if Stockstill is at South Carolina Question: Spiller? Answer: 10:30 in the morning, Clemson has done everything it needed to do Question: trey: which former or current tiger rb would you compare cox to? Answer: Reggie Merriweather Question: Is Kornblutt on suicide watch? Answer: Nah Question: What's the deal with geathers? Answer: The school did not release his transcripts at the request of the family. He was not able to take any official visits. One of the strangest scenarios I have ever followed. Question: So, other than the Spiller stuff in the morning, should be an uneventful signing day for the Tigers? Answer: That is the hope. Uneventful outside of Spiller would be a very good day for Clemson Question: Is losing Stock hurting the Gamecocks ability to close the deal with recruits this year? Answer: Yes Question: Where will the coots class end up ranking? Answer: 34-37, just a guess Question: Trey: Why is UF having such an incredible year? Is Meyer that good of a recruiter? Answer: Yes, and he has a much easier sell in Gainesville Question: If Sims signs, ultimately where do you see him in 2 years? RB or LB? Answer: LB Question: What type of back is Spiller? Compare and contrast his abilities with those of James Davis? Answer: Davis is the thunder, Spiller is the lightning Question: How do you like our junior commits so far? Answer: The junior commits are great and they are just getting started. The momentum is continuing Question: Chances that Spiller WON'T sign an LOI tomorrow? Answer: 5% Question: how good is chambers? Answer: Sadat Chambers will be the second string cat safety the first day of spring practice, he is Jamaal Fudge Question: Already 4 commits for next year? How many should we expect by summer? Answer: as many as 12 Question: Tough question without them on campus, but who do you see on our verbal list that is not even close to being able to contribute (ie lots of potential, but raw)? Answer: Medlin needs to be coached, Campbell and Alexander will take off in about two years with Blackwell. Ogren will be thrown into the fire sooner, but he will develop nicely under Swinney Question: Does Tommy finally win 10 in 2006? Answer: If I made my final prediction today, yes Question: OK. Enough is enough. Quit beating around the bush and tell us where he is gonna sign so we can all get some sleep, Answer: LOL! Sleep is overrated Question: Did Louisville have to sell off any campus property to afford Whitehead? Answer: No Question: So Stevie Superior can't close the deal without Stock? If Stevie can't, who can? Answer: It is difficult to recover losing your RC in December Question: Would Spiller and Davis ever be in on the same play? Answer: Possible Question: Mickey Plyler -- tigernet.com . . . . 9:11:21 PM Then what's Jocby Ford? Answer: An extremely fast player who will contribute immediately Question: Is membership to Augusta really worth all this to Spurrier? Answer: Some ppl would give up their first born for that membership Question: What effect can we expect the Nike camp at Clemson to have? Answer: Great exposure. No telling how many kids will see the campus that might not ever have gone to Clemson Question: I am a Red Sox fan, and hubby is a Yankee's fan..will our marriage make it? Answer: No, but you have all the power Question: How good is Ray Ray? Answer: The best NFL prospect Clemson has at corner on campus right now. Question: More speed than Fudge? Answer: I am guessing you are talking about Chambers, and he is a little faster than Fudge Question: Top 10 class for 2007? Answer: Within reach, 10 wins on the field would help a lot, I know that is an obvious statement, but its true Question: who will stand out the most at spring practice? Answer: Murchison, Thomas Austin, Will Proctor, Chambers, Kavell Connor to name a few Question: gonna be in clemson tomorrow watching the faxes coming thru? Answer: no Louis Garmendia will be the lucky man by the fax machine Question: Anymore talk of Hines leaving? Answer: I think a decision could be reached very soon. Watch for maybe a young guy, like Billy Napier to be mentioned if there is an opening Question: How much will having Korn committed now help next year's class? Answer: Its huge, just like Cumbie was for 2006 Question: sleep is overated?? what is sleeps ranking then? Answer: LOL, I'd give you a point if I could Question: XM or Sirius? Answer: XM Question: Will Ford play any RB or WR only? Answer: both, Question: Most underrated player in this class? Answer: Kendrick Johnson Question: Are our punting woes solved with our recruited punter/kicker??? Answer: Hopefully Question: Offer sheet for DB Chris Duvalt ?? Answer: Not sure Question: Hell freezing over or Tiger win in Chapel Hill... which comes first? Answer: I really like Clemson's chances on Wednesday and Saturday, but I could just be delirious from focusing on Signing Day Question: Has Thomas Austin gotten bigger? Will he see the field in 2006? Answer: Not sure on weight room numbers, he will see the field in 2006 Question: how good is chris chancler? Answer: Great ball skills, he is undersized, but he makes plays. He could make some noise in the spring Question: what about perman? Answer: Not sure the budget would work to get Pearman Question: just got in, wtf did i miss? Answer: Not much, just a lot of anxiety Question: Is the sophomore Bowers a lifelong tiger fan? Answer: No, but Clemson is in good shape Question: Chances for Barnes and Caleb King next year?? Answer: Clemson will be in the mix with both, probably will get official visits with both Question: Jack Hines annoucement by the end of the week? Answer: Most likely Question: Will Rendrick Taylor be a big impact player this year? Answer: He will be a be bigger factor, but Stuckey and Kelly will get most of the passes Question: AJ green.... any chance a tiger? Answer: he is only a sophomore, nobody is out Question: Getting rid of Hine's would free up at least $100K for Perman. Answer: from my people, if a change is made, I would look for a young coach who would recruit his rear off Question: Where do we stand with Junior Hemmingway? Answer: in the mix, but he may be headed out of state Question: from what you know who is the worst at negative recruting? Answer: probably NC State just from what I know, programs that negative recruit aren't good enough to just sell themselves Question: Has Godfrey answered his phone yet? Answer: No, congrats to the network who reached him, they must have went to his house or picked him up from school Question: Is it true that Mickey is a big Brokeback fan?
