New Story: Five-star OL and Vols commit has a lot to think about after Clemson visit

Five-star OL and Vols commit has a lot to think about after Clemson visit
Five-star offensive lineman Cade Mays has a lot to think about after Saturday’s visit to Clemson. Mays is the nation's No. 2 tackle prospect, a Tennessee legacy and a long-time commit, so getting the Knoxville (TN) Catholic product to go somewhere else would be quite an achievement. However, Saturday’s visit gives Clemson the chance it needs with Mays. Full Story » |

I really hope so too. Help guide him to a winning program, Clemson. TN, well, while butch j is still there,seems all you'd end up as a champion of life, winning few ball games. Hope Mays comes and wins with Clemson.

Seems like a great kid and would fit the culture well. I wish him well no matter which side he eventually chooses.

Yes he does sound like he is a good kid but, he will never win a NC at Tennessee if he sticks with that commit. The NCAA won't let kids stay the amount of time it will take for Tennessee to get back to a NCG!!!

I hadn't forgotten. We need to get three good ones every year. Getting a couple of great ones is even better. We're probably going to lose Mitch and we know that Crowder is gone as well as Hearn and Facinelli.

Hyatt is a true junior that likely would be drafted in the 1st round this year....
Simpson is a sophomore but likely would be drafted as junior if he wants to go early.
We have a few others.... we are not slack anymore on the OL... maybe we need to do better recruiting kickers.... At the moment it is the only hole in our team and hopefully spence will get it together... he has the tools... he needs to get his mind right....

I agree. We don't suffer from lack of numbers on the OL any more. We have plenty of "beef". But, the 5-star guys and the really coveted 4-star guys still seem to be hard for us to land. I'd hoped getting Hyatt would be the beginning of a new era in that respect.

Flipping this guy from Vols would be a huge get this kid is a monster and a heck of a lineman. I think he could start day one and if wants to win championships Tennessee dumpster fire is not where you wanna be. Come to Clemson and help Lawerence win a title or 2 or 3 Haha. I've seen some tweets by Jones saying they were all tiger bound and he was in photo might be messing around but I really think we have a 75/25 percent chance of flipping him, I would say higher if he was legacy. Let's real this big fish in Dabo and staff haha Go Tigers!!

Coming from Tennessee heritage myself, I hope someone took him around the lake area. He looks just like my family members in TN and they live to reel in the fish. If he knows fishing is out the back door.......

I've seen Cade play his whole HS career at Knox Catholic. He's

a special talent and has unbelievable drive!! I completely respect that he is a Vol legacy but times have really changed since his dad played at TN. There are a handful of programs that are WAY ahead of all the others with their entire program (Facilities, fans, coaching, NFL prep & Academics) and Clemson is one of those that is WAY ahead. The others would be Bama, Oh St, FSU, Michigan & ND. It will take TN 6-10 years to come even close to the program status of these other programs, even with a coach similar to Saban or Swinney. Cade would fit soooo much better into Clemson's program, Facilities and NFL development vs the deep problems at UT. The issues at UT run much, much deeper than the current coaching staff....it involves the Board, the AD and the entire athletic training protocol...very much behind and out of proper focus to compete in the SEC East, much less on any kind of National level. The only proof one needs of the serious problems is to look at the coaching problems over the last decade: FB = Fulmer (run off), Kiffin, Dooley, Butch; Bball = Pearl, Martin, Tyndall, Barnes....8 different coaches in less than 10 years. It is an absolute mess throughout the entire athletic program! Programs like Clemson have their sh*t together and will continue to attract & develop the best athletes, period

You are right. My brother has lived in K Town since the 70's and is a huge Vols fan. He says the problem at UT runs all the way to the Board.
Vols aren't going to get any better any time soon.

Kid should read his own comments....

His heart is in Tennessee because of his dad but maybe his brain will guide him to create his own new legacy. Tennessee is gonna be a cluster eff going into the next decade....just a continuation of the last 10+ years.

As much as his Dad loves Tennessee, he loves his son more and wants what is best for him to get prepared for the next level. Hopefully he will direct his son away from that Train wreck of a program.
Mike Jones is our Ace in the Hole!

Based on the comments from both Cade and MJ in this article, I think he’s already decided to flip. Don’t see how anyone could blame him. The Vols are a real mess right now. Would love to have him in the Clemson Family!!

Seems like a good country boy and good family. I saw an article that said Cade likes to bass fish, bow hunt and duck hunt. I posted on another link, I hope the coaches make him aware what a sportsman's paradise Clemson is. Over 17,000 acres of Clemson Forest for trophy buck - bow hunting, Lake Hartwell for bass fishing. The Bassmasters - World championship of bass fishing is on Hartwell next year. He can fish in Clemson's many Simpson Station ponds, Issaqueena Lake, or in the Seneca River canal at the practice fields and football facility. Duck hunt all he wants on watershed road, trout fish in Chattooga. On second thought maybe Dabo better not tell Cade all of this. He'll be skipping class like I did while at Clemson. Man, those were good times.

A five star OL could really make a difference - and put/keep Clemson over the top. Dabo is doing a great job.
