The reason Clemson is recruiting you is to help prevent the

opponent from scoring. Please reconsider Clemson's thinking on defense. You can come in and play as a freshman along with Ben Boulware. One heck of a LB corp.

This kid is good. If our D has a good year, it might help his decision some. I will show him that CU is serious about,playing quality D. GO TIGERS!!!!

Can't tell if this is a dig, or him saying he could help.***

I think it is a good thing...


Aug 27, 2013, 10:37 AM

It should be appealing to him that we have a great offense and a weaker defense. He can come in and make a difference right away. We are getting looked at by higher rated recruits these days and the future is looking bright.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Guess we should assume the latter. The writer didn't

sounds like he isn't sure what 2 do.


If we don't land him, no big deal...Bring on Elijah Hood-RB...David Sharpe-OL and Quinton Flowers-WR plus Andrew Williams-DL

Aug 27, 2013, 10:32 AM

lol that really does make no sense. Well we can prove that theory wrong this year with a better season on D. Idk where he gets we're just loading up on offense, we got top rated LB's all over the place, Blanks and Alexander were highly rated DB's. We got a solid D-line depth now. Nothing we can really do except put up the results that our talent shows on paper.

The D can't be any worse than last year, he will surely see improvement to help guide him with his decision.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Now we know what other coaches are saying


Aug 27, 2013, 10:36 AM

though we aren't only loading up on offense. We took a ton of DBs and LBs lately.

Re: Now we know what other coaches are saying


Aug 27, 2013, 10:55 AM

Yeah that's without a doubt the words of other teams and coaches right their. Hopefully he takes a real close look at what we have brought in on D the last couple years.

His comments make perfect sense. He does not want his talent to be "wasted" on a bad defense. We have to prove to these impact defensive players we are for real!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Football Recruiting Update: 5-Star LB talks Clemson and Milan Richard


Aug 27, 2013, 1:02 PM

For sure. Let's hope our defense can make strides this year to show him Clemson isn't a one trick pony.

If we can step up this year on the defensive side of the ball, then I believe we can provide a great atmosphere for McMillan to thrive early. We had some great LB commits in the current junior class which haven't performed up to their potential yet, and I firmly believe that was because of their youth paired with the lack of leadership on defense. When guys like Stephone Anthony came in, he was expected to be one of the leaders on the defense which is so much to ask of a young defensive player. Now it seems like we've got a veteran core (which includes Anthony) with strong leadership.

Freshman can thrive on defense when leadership is already in place and they are allowed to focus on their own growth in the system and showcase their physical abilities. Next year's defense could provide that opportunity.

This young man gets it.

You win with Defense.

It doesn't matter how many Sammy Watkins we have. Yeah we can pretty much win 8 or 9 games that way each year but until we load up with talent on D (and I think we are getting close at certain positions) its going to be hard to go all the way

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Somebody needs to


Aug 27, 2013, 12:01 PM

Show this kid that 15 out of our 23 recruits last year were for defense. To stop teams from scoring 70. We also have 4 defensive players this year in a class where we needed to load up on offense. This kid is a beast and well worth an oversign.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

McMillan


Aug 27, 2013, 3:35 PM

Yea,
I was abit confused by his statements. Its like, well..they're going after offensive players so, they don't need me.
But then, if you had ALOT of verbals from defensive players, he would probably be like, well, they don't need me cause they have too many others.

Confused there. Anyways..
if we get him fine, otherwise..no biggie. I like the 2 LBs we have committed.

You could go a long way in helping Clemson load up on


Aug 27, 2013, 12:07 PM

defense as well.

Other are using the prolific O against us. Alexander


Aug 27, 2013, 12:17 PM

mentioned it specifically when he signed. Guys like M. Adams, RN, Clowney etc were "sold" on Clemson being an offense first team. We need to change that quick!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

well maybe the so called...


Aug 27, 2013, 12:18 PM

big time hot shots should come in and help change that.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

This is the 2nd time he has said the same about the defense


Aug 27, 2013, 1:26 PM

It is obvious he is hearing it a lot from recruiters.

I'm still not clear on why a high scoring offense wouldn't benefit from a stingy defense...

in a new system and mostly underclassmen. Most teams weren't exactly lighting it up against us even though our style of O gives them extra chances over the course of a game and leads to some heavy subbing in the blowouts.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That's what opposing Coaches are telling him about Clemson.***

Same old smoke, imo, the mirror is pointed right back at


Aug 27, 2013, 8:23 PM

himself.

Large D class last year at the needed positions of concern, most LB talent will be upperclassmen, which gives the 2013/2014 LBs plenty of early playing time next year and so on.

We all know we have the top paid DC, whose scheme is a true LBs dream.

Coach V gets it done, with the aid of Coach Reed, an experienced front 7, plenty of depth in the secondary, then add in Milan Richard/other "Choice" GA commits.

If RM doesn't chose Clemson, then I will be the confused one.
