you can always count on the AJC for anything negative about Clemson. They revel in it.

Whats wrong with it?

He was very complimentary of Clemson and coaching staff. He just chose a different opportunity.
If anything, it probably hurt the AJC to have to publish something from a recruit that was praising Clemson so much.

sounded pretty positive to me. There wasn't a negative Clemson statement made. He mentioned the mass exodus of commits...but, it's true. Thought Jenkins was very complimentary and stand-up about it.

There is nothing "complimentary and stand upish" about turning your back on a school that was committed to you when no other big names were at the table. Then one comes a long and you ditch out leaving us in a bind that late in the process. He should have decommitted months before he did so that we could find a replacement. He didn't and used us as his fall back.
Im not even mad about losing the player. By all accounts he was one of the most overrated players on our board.

Coty Sensabaugh did the same thing in our favor. Nobody complained.
We try to talk committed kids out of their commitments every day. Nature of the beast.

He was a huge Tenn fan growing up

and he didn't get an offer until the coaching change. Sounds like the coaches were kept up to date on the whole thing.
If you were a lifelong Clemson fan and they didn't offer you until the last minute would you turn down the offer?

That's exactly what it sounded like - he was holding out hope for a chance to go to the school he grew up a fan of, and just couldn't turn it down.
I thought the kid did an outstanding job in that interview; I dislike him a lot less now.

what Jenkins says isn't bad at all...

but I can see how some people would be pissed about Carvell's focus on the decommitment in the article, and about Carvell's talking about the other decommitments. All in all, though, it's nothing to get upset about.

I dont think anything nefarious went on like what did with RN and Demarcus Robinson.

He wasn't going to be a star for us anyway.

We got a better one instead (Priester) and Jenkins got to go to his dream school. Everyone wins.
As for changing his mind late in the process, I don't think he was being dishonest with us or trying to be a jerk. His circumstances changed and he made the best decision for him.

The way that program is going, if we play them in the next few years that means we have slipped to a weaker bowl. No more Music City Bowl

Why does he keep saying it was a "business decision"?
Apr 29, 2013, 12:29 PM
|

I don't get it. Sounds like it was a sentimental decision, not educational, not title-achievability, not developmental.
But he keeps repeating "It was a business decision."
What gives?

You know what he means. He made the decision that he felt was best for himself. That decision isn't a reflection on Clemson, the coaches, players, and fans.

Hello? If it had been a real "business decision" there would have been a contract and he wouldn't have been able to weasel out of it without a judgment against him. That's how REAL "business" works.

Never heard of this kid. If he goes to UT nobody else will ever know who he is either.
