Interesting note on Xavier Thomas


Feb 20, 2017, 12:10 PM

He states he's going to make his decision before or during the season.

Gamecocks believe them winning a certain amount of games will help land him. Problem is it may be too late.

If Xavier Thomas makes his decision before the season, then I agree with those predicting Xavier Thomas to Clemson.

$CU will struggle to win 5 games in 2017...

Of course, as bad as the $EC Least is, I suppose anything is possible.

I don't think the Gamecocks are overly improved anyhow.

They're still terrible up front on both sides of the ball and that really limits your ceiling.

Plus they lost some starters on defense and a starting offensive lineman.

Tony Morrell thinks 8+ games is what it will take to land Xavier.

It's pretty easy to see why 247 CBs are all pointing towards Clemson.

The only "advantage" SCar has is XT grew up rooting for them.

With Momma on board and XT seemingly be a bright kid, Clemson has an excellent chance to land him.

He'll probably go pro wherever he goes as long as he stays healthy. Losing Brooks & Hobbie hurt more than people realize.

Feb 20, 2017, 12:32 PM [ in reply to Re: Interesting note on Xavier Thomas ]

Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas A&M, Arkansas and Clemson are all likely losses for them while the Vandy, LaTech and NC State are all toss-up games for them at best.

I'd like their chances better if Dayes were returning...


Feb 20, 2017, 12:53 PM

but they do return their starting QB and the four top receivers, and the $CU secondary is very weak.

I just think Doeren is a mediocre coach on his best day. Of course, so is Boom.

Re: Another note (momma)


Feb 20, 2017, 12:44 PM [ in reply to Another note (momma) ]

I'm ?? on board. I would love to have him. I'm just not going to lose my $h:t over him, if he pulls a Kmendiche. I almost expect it now days. The recruits who really want to be at Clemson, usually don't cause or want the drama & commit early. Which is why this year was full so early.
I doubt Dabo will hold a scolly until signing day for XT, if he doesn't commit early. We don't want another situation that almost happened with this years RB.

Trayvon Mullen and Christian Wilkins come to mind.

Wilkins, yes. But we had an inside track on Mullens!
I get what you're saying though. I'm sure Dabo/Venebles will have several options(back up plan) if XT doesn't work out.

Re: Interesting note on Xavier Thomas

I don't think winning or losing any certain number of games by either Clemson or Carolina will have a thing to do with XT's choice. He is a life long Gamecock fan. Dabo is going to have to convince him to change over, or he is going with Carolina all the way. Clemson's National Championship and new facilities seem not to have impressed him in the least.

I don't either to be honest. But that's what SCar is saying to feel better.

Re: Interesting note on Xavier Thomas

If this guy didn't grow up being a diehard coot fan, then there would not even be a discussion about him. Coots don't really get very many recruits that CLEMSON wants. It's like a no-brainer for most recruits.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Interesting note on Xavier Thomas


Feb 20, 2017, 3:01 PM

If SCAR gets a really great recruit t is almost always a kid who grew up a lifelong fan who is willing to pass on the right decision in his head in order to follow his heart. When the state has several of these kids simultaneously then SCAR usually enjoys a couple of years of success on the field. The Lattimore, Clowney, Gilmore group is a prime example.
