I'm starting to have concerns about Xavier Thomas. Dabo and
Jan 19, 2017, 8:15 PM

his staff are really good about evaluating player's and their attitudes. Jeff Scott told the Greenville Luncheon Club this past year that, "after the first 20 minute visit with a recruit we know whether or not he will fit in with the Clemson family." The more Xavier talks, the more he sounds like Clowney. As much as I would hate to lose him, maybe we should just withdraw his offer and move on.

You have been around this site way too long to make, or believe, the statement you made above.

Maybe we should let the coaches recruit and worry about it

Yeah obviously a great talent but I feel the same way. Seems too much of an attention guy that likes to play games to be a Clemson man. Besides Rashan Gary we have had very little drama with our recruits. If they start acting like that we usually cut bait example Jamyest Williams

Nah disagree. I try to keep in mind that he's a 16 yr old kid. Kinda sounds to me that he's torn between his head and his heart. Lots of people putting pressure on him to go here or there.
Wouldn't surprise me if he ends up uga or fla etc.
Something make u think clowny wouldn't been good at clemson?

You sure are reading a lot into a couple of tweets. Trust the coaches. I know it's hard to believe but they know more than we do.

You know lurking coots Screenshotidiotic posts like this and take them to twitter and Gamecockcentral.com
Please, no more posts about recruits unless it's in a good light. You can't control a kids decision. No one cares to hear how you think he "might be" .

XT is just playing the mind game that JC did as well. Let's just move on knowing that our OL will block him for one game a year.

Let it play out. Thomas won't make or break us. I think we'll be fine regardless. This hire is very important but I trust Coach.

So did Dabo seek your advice on this player? Didn't think so.

The coaches know within twenty minutes? Well that twenty minutes passed a long time ago and they're still recruiting him so there you go.

Considering the staff has spent that 20 minutes with him
Jan 19, 2017, 8:51 PM

and he has an offer from us, perhaps, maybe, the coaches feel differently about him. With their unheralded success in these areas, I think it might be best to chillax and let them do what they do extremely well.

I can assure you he is a good KID but a young KID he is. If he were to come to CLEMSON and the first game you see him play , you will change your mind.

This^^^ he'll be loved if he comes to Clemson

And villified if he goes to usuck and vice versa for usuck. We all can see his potential and he will likely play on Sunday. I truly believe he'll be better off as a person, man, player, etc if he goes to Clemson but you can't blame him for being disappointed hobby wont be there. Likely looked up to him. Just wish the kid the best and if he plays for Clemson, my bet is we all sing his praises once he's on the field.

I don't see much to worry about, but if he or any player has issues, we'll be fine. Great leaders like Dabo don't fail to make mistakes, they recognize when they've made a mistake and correct it swiftly. That's exactly what happened with Chad Kelly and will happen with similar players in the future. And I'd say we did #### well when Kelly hit the happy trail.

Either way, Clemson will be in great shape and the Coots will continue to be...well...Coots.
