Robert should follow his heart and his original plan. I don't see him backing out of his commitment to us and his 3 other friends. I believe he is too big a man to do that. His Mother, though a very special lady, I'm sure, won't be a factor in the visits he gets from family and friends. She lives 10,000 miles away. Robert needs to remember that.

That said, I hope he honors his commitment, as it is time for him to be his own man.

its just irritating she keeps making news and says crap like this. she sounds like "if its not convenient for me I'm not gonna do it". It's only the biggest decision her son has made to date but all she wants to do is be negative.

Also, she let one son choose on his own so why be so vocal about this one when he has ALREADY made his choice.

“I’ve never been to Tigernet. I’ve not talked to anybody from Tigernet. I don’t want to go there because that’s out of my virtual way. There is nothing that would take me there. What took me to Ole Miss's forum was not a place for informative football discussion. I haven’t been to any other forum. Honestly, if Denzel was not at Ole Miss, I wouldn’t have registered an account. My No. 1 team is Alabama. That’s one school I truly love, Alabama. Tidefans is the ####. But I don’t have a child in Alabama to take me to Alabama. But my son is in Mississippi at Ole Miss. Rebel yell. That’s what took me to Mississippi....that and the movie the Blindside. So I’m not going to travel all over the place just to talk to coaches. Thats ignorant. No, I won’t. I’m not being Spurrier or anything. It’s just not in my schedule. I just went to Ole Miss to visit with my son. I had a wonderful opportunity there to talk with the coaches and the academic people on their football forum.”

I can't imagine not wanting to check out the schools my kid was considering.

Based on the the stories and the articles about RN's recruiting and homelife, it seems like he's having alot of pressure put on him. That's alot of crap to have to deal with as a 17 year old kid, along with his mom basically living full time in another country. Lot's of craziness that he has to deal with.... alot more crap than most normal kids.

I think we should all just chill out and ease up on RN. Hopefully, he decides to stick with Clemson, but I think we should all try to put ourselves in his shoes before making comments about him.

Yea I agree, this is extremely strange. Whenever I hear her talk, you would think Robert had never visited Clemson or even considered it really. It's almost like she's dispelling rumors...yet he remains committed.

He seems like a good guy and obviously he's an incredible football player...I would love for him to come out and just give us the vote of confidence, but I don't see that happening. I can't imagine the sh*t storm of media he gets from every direction, and it sure doesn't help that his mother is openly lobbying for other schools in the media.

The worst part of it is the longer he stays committed to us and the more his mom talks about how she doesn't care about Clemson and will never visit Clemson, the more the media is going to invade the situation in order to get the latest sound byte.

It's really just an extremely strange situation. Hopefully him and his boys are just laughing about this in the locker room while listening to Tiger Rag...but I don't expect that's the case haha.

a loud mouthed, selfish person. I have no idea what she is truly like, but so far... yuck.

And this honestly has nothing to do with Clemson. She is much more interested in running her mouth than considering her thoughts and words.

Her having an outspoken opinion on Robert's choice IS putting the most pressure on Robert. The opinions of the media, coaches, and fans do no hold a candle to the opinion of the mother. However, a mother is not right to hold their opinions over their children's head because of their status and emotional ties. People can stuggle their whole lives fighting for the approval of a parent and it is usually due to the parent deciding to voice every criticism and never letting baby bird fly out of the nest and make their own decisions.

Also, she doesn't even seem to care about the fact that she is basically letting her son Denzel, make his own indepenant decision that has the caviat of also being the other son's choice. When Denzel goes to the NFL, will she expect Robert to follow him to that team? She needs to know that her sons will grow MUCH more if they are allowed to branch out. They'll always be brothers but they will not always be football teammates.

It sounds like Nkemdiche's mother is bent on having her son go anywhere but Clemson. She seemingly is not looking at Clemson or giving the Tigers a fair shot. I'm not gonna knock her for it because to her, she's looking out for her son and that's understandable. However, based on this interview, she's not feeling Clemson at all. I ultimately think that Nkemdiche will end up at either Ole Miss or Alabama because that's how his mother wants it. I'm hoping that I'm wrong, but it looks to be the case.

I have to say that if my son made a commitment that and I thought he was "pressured" into anything (regardless of what he told me), I would be on the phone to that school to find out what was going on so fast it would make your head spin. How can a mom NOT get involved in learning everything she can about this school that impressed her son enough to end his recruitment by giving a verbal commitment to? Do you honestly believe she is willing to talk to the Clemson coaches (DS) and HE has NOT called her? I guarantee that he has tried to talk to her and that they are constantly in touch with RK. I am sure there is more going on here than we know. I also know that if my mom was telling me where to go to school when I was 18 (and I could go anywhere) I would tell her that it is my decision, not hers and I would go where I wanted to. That is what growing up is all about...cutting the apron strings and making decision on your own...good or bad. I'd like to see this young man come to Clemson because I know how special a place it is...but then I want everyone to go there for the same reason. I think he will play on a bigger stage at Clemson than he ever will at Ole Miss. Ole Miss is years and years away from being a dominant team...Clemson is on the cusp right now. But go wherever you think is best for you Robert. This isn't a decision your mom should make for you...it was your hard work and dedication that got you here...not your mom.

Since when did Ole Miss become the Duke of the SEC on the academic side? Come on Mrs. RN...do some basic homework and grab a copy of US News and World Report Academic Rankings.
