Why does John Simpson say Ft Dorchester HS & not Clemson

Nuke does the same thing. I thought Nuke does it because he has not yet graduated. I am pretty sure Big John graduated.

School. He said it means more for those kids calling attention to their school than saying what university he went to. I thought that was pretty awesome. It’s just not that big a deal. I like to know where these guys went(but honestly I know where many of them went) but as far as prospects go, they are getting info about who amour players are in the pros and what they are doing. We also play the videos in DV when they are their on their visits.

Because it helps Clemson recruiting when a bunch of players list a certain school. It helps to show recruits that we put a lot of guys in the NFL. It's just basic marketing.

Whoever gave a thumbs down to that is clueless. I am pointing out the obvious. Recruits and kids and look at that.

No, Nuk does it because he is still butthurt about Sammy Watkins

getting more passes thrown his way. Which is stupid since Nuk got tons of opportunities and set multiple Clemson records.
Nuk has also said that he doesn’t say Clemson because Clemson is racist for having Calhoun Honors College and Tillman Hall.
So I suppose it depends on which day you ask him.

It’s a big deal for all that helped these guys along the way. It doesn’t have to be a slight every time it happens

It certainly helps recruiting if they say Clemson. The high school matters but it didn’t really get them to the pros.

High school got them to the college which got them to the pros. So high school got them to the pros. Transitive property of football.
