4-star DT commits to FSU

Read Update »

So will we still pursue him?


Jul 20, 2014, 1:36 PM

Or will we move on to someone else? I was wishing we would get him but honestly I would rather have someone who can play 4yrs rather than 2

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

he has 3 years left & is all grown up now. that's a nice


Jul 20, 2014, 1:41 PM

pick up for fswho.

i've seen some say he won't stay all 3 & will look to the nfl. i'd be interested to know if this was another loss to "academics" or dj choosing fswho as his best option to the next level?

Jul 20, 2014, 1:51 PM

He has three years but he can only play two years of football.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

3 to play 2 is a world of difference between 2 to play 2,


Jul 20, 2014, 1:58 PM

which was my offering.

it's a big pick up for fswho & i'm more concerned with his process. hopefully some light can be shed on the "why" a clemson fan growing up made this choice, if it was solely his to make.

Jul 20, 2014, 2:32 PM

And there's a world of difference between 3 years to play 2 and 3 years to play 3.

Does DJ Jones have 3 years to play 3 or 3 years to play 2?

I thought he had 3 years to play 2, does he not?

I guess it depends if he plays this year or not.

hopefully with speedracer's post it's clear, cause honestly, i didn't think it could be anymore so.

now maybe someone has something to offer as to the 'why' he chose fswho and if clemson's troubles with juco transfers was at the root or he thought fswho offered him the best chance at the next level or other?

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


All I can think is maybe our coaches think we have


Jul 21, 2014, 12:03 AM

better prospects. So was Jones a Clemson fan? If so, I didn't know that...bagman strikes again...

Jul 20, 2014, 1:52 PM

Suck for both of us. I really thought he would end up with us or y'all. Thought if went out if state it would be Tennessee. Guess FSU blew him away. Our site saying he still plans to take visits so maybe it's not over. Y'alls DT recruiting is going well so not a huge loss. We really need to sign a good DT this class, though I think Wideman ends up a DT if he ever gets in. What's the deal with Huggins? Is he pretty much a lock to Clemson?

Clemson coaching staff must of backed off of him

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

yep - wasn't going to fit the mission


Jul 20, 2014, 8:28 PM

good for the coaches for letting him go with respect.

2024 purple level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Clemson is only going to take three more


Jul 20, 2014, 2:33 PM

Players 4 at the most and the 4th has to be the right player. Clemson has been focused on those few players and that's it and Jones wasn't one of them. Clemson will not get players they aren't pushing hard for at this time. Just like Campbell at WR they aren't going to get him and they aren't pursuing him.

Re: Clemson is only going to take three more


Jul 20, 2014, 3:54 PM

I also agree we are not pushing for Campbell or Hines for any of the others out there who seem to think we will get him. Unfortunate side to all of this recruiting is that when the bus is full, no one else can get on board, we are not SEC.

For all the Tuttle lovers he's about to announce for UT

This guy gave Clemson's coaches all the reason in the world to back off him when he made the selfish statement of "playing one year and entering the draft". Seem to be on a one man mission to the Promise Land. Who can get me there the fastest.

Wasn't he quoted a while back as saying he was 1 & Done ??


Jul 20, 2014, 3:00 PM

I thought I read that in at least one interview.

He may or may not be good enough to come straight from JUCO to FSU (or Clemson, etc.) and make enough noise to move directly to the NFL.

Guess now we'll see without having to use a scholarship on him.

This kid is a stud he's a sign and plug right in there. Having him and Huggins would've been huge. Imagine how Jones and Pagano would've caused havoc inside. Hopefully Clemson earns a visit from him. Settle has struggled at camps and with grades chances are he red shirts even if we were to land him. Settle needs good coaching and tutor.

NEXT!!

Tim Settle and Shy Tuttle!

yep, Got to be that Clemson backed off him, has to explain why he committed to FSU..no other sane reason

Re: NEXT!!


Jul 20, 2014, 3:50 PM

FSU is a great school and I am happy he chose a good school especially being from here. I despise FSU like South Carolina, but I honestly feel like we backed off of him somewhat. Whether it was for a red flag, did not feel like we would get him or we had him lower on our board than prospects we think we can get still. Hate to see his talent be used against us, but feel coaches felt like there was a better possible fit available.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Pickings just got slimmer....FSU was probably the second


Jul 20, 2014, 5:27 PM

worst team he could have chosen for us...coots obviously being first.

Oh well, I'd be worried if we weren't recruiting lights out on our oline...but we are ;)

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Hate seeing one of our LOCAL boys go elsewhere........


Jul 20, 2014, 10:13 PM

Now I realize how Jawga fans must feel about us. :)
