do you think the odds are? How any recruit not droop over our new Player's Facility is beyond me.

We have a great chance with him. He came to FSU last year and Louisville this year, and left very impressed both times. We're a premier power offering a top-20 education and our main competition for him, SCar, is an absolute dumpster fire.

I think HE favors Clemson, unfortunately...

it seems his family and friends are strongly pushing him to USuCK, so we'll see what happens.

I have him around 70/30 towards South Carolina. He grew up a fan, family wants him to go there, only an hour away, he could go there and be a Day 1 starter, "Next Clowney" lure. I'm at the point now where I don't think their successes (failures) even matter that much to him.
With Clemson, we're obviously the better program, with better facilities, play on a national stage almost weekly and almost guaranteed a Gameday visit at least once a year, a better staff, and a proven position coach that can pump out 1st round talent. But we're also three hours away, grew up hating us, probably not a Day 1 starter, and Florence is around 70/30 towards South Carolina as well.
It's an uphill battle but with Venables/Hobby and the trajectory of the program, it's possible but I wouldn't get your hopes us too high.

I suspect he'll take it into his senior year and possibly NSD 2018.

I heard from a birdie that scar coaches frequently visits his parents car wash in Florence. Don't know how true it is though,but I wouldn't doubt it.

It is very true...some fans were asking where it was so they could contribute as well.

If he wants to win then he will choose Clemson. If it's not his first priority then that's on him go to usshe
