Re: New Story: Jordyn Adams breaks down Clemson and UNC, ready to make a decision

One thing I see a lot of on here and it's pretty childish tbh but as long as a good recruit saying or possible coming to clemson he's good but soon as they say something like they might go somewhere else, it's he wouldn't have played or overrated. This is life guys we don't get every recruit we want, we get a lot but no one can get them all! So saying that this kid is definitely good enough to see the field for Clemson so don't take that away from him bc he said UNC has a family atmosphere TO HIM like one person said might have to do with his dad aka family working for the team so yes it's going to feel like family more, just like I'm sure our coaches think of our players as family his dad prob does too so not that mind blowing for him to say that!

Family Atmosphere Comment (and other considerations)

Jun 30, 2017, 10:04 AM

I think everyone is over-reacting to his comment about UNC being more of a family atmosphere. I read the quote as "To me, UNC is more of a family atmosphere." His dad is a coach. It doesn't get more family than that.

UNC is a great school, has a beautiful campus and they seem headed in the right direction as a football program.

That said, if I am a highly touted football recruit as a rising Senior in high school, I would strongly consider 3 points.

1) Do I want another 4 years of my Dad following my every move and knowing my every social interaction? I found that a little distance between me and my father during college was a very good thing. It helped me grow up and learn how to make decisions on my own.

2) Do I want to play football at a basketball school? He may be Big Man On Campus at his high school, but at UNC he'll be playing second fiddle to their roster of future NBA 1st round gazillionaires. The reverse of this argument is made annually by UNC basketball to recruits considering Clemson.

3) Finally, do I want to be a champion? UNC Football was last relevant in the ACC 37 years ago in 1980. Clemson has won 9 ACC titles since that time, including the last 2 (in addition to winning the Natty last year). If winning championships is a factor, then UNC is not.

Should he elect to play at UNC, then those 3 considerations were not important to him. And, that's OK. He is a very talented player and I'd love to see him compete at Clemson. But, it's a personal decision made by a 17 year old young man and it won't bother me at all if he plays for UNC.
