Tigers get big visit from 5-star recruit and his brother this weekend

Tigers get big visit from 5-star recruit and his brother this weekend

The Clemson will get a visit from 5-star prospect Keenan Allen this weekend, a DB out of North Carolina who has committed to Alabama. Also coming along is his brother, who just happens to be a quarterback. Full Story »

Korncoot is likely the reason


Jan 21, 2010, 7:13 PM

why Morant didnt come, and could be the reason why Allen doesnt.

UGA found out Morant was coming at the last minute because it was reported on the net, and then called him and likely threatened to take his offer if he went.

Now the same for Allen could happen. Lets hope not.

If I was a 5-star recruit and was told to not visit another


Jan 21, 2010, 7:28 PM

school or else, I'd say..."SEE YA"!

That is exactly what I said when the Morant story


Jan 21, 2010, 9:01 PM

Tell them to shove off....I have plenty of offers

Morant and Allen are two different situations


Jan 21, 2010, 10:12 PM

Morant didn't have the choice to go anywhere. UGA has 3-4 other DE committed already. If his offer gets pulled, he really doesn't have a ton of choices. He pretty much has to go to Clemson.

Allen on the other hand is the best safety in the country. He could also play WR. If he was dropped, every team in the nation would line up to take him. I don't think Bama can make that threat to pull his offer. He is too good.

Re: Morant and Allen are two different situations


Jan 21, 2010, 11:42 PM

Morant has 20 offers man...

he could and should do what he wants to do...

I hate it when kids committed to Clemson visit other places... Clemson just told a kid not to go and he didn't, but if it were me or even my son and he was a 4/5 star kid, I would tell him to visit anywhere he wanted. I would also tell him not to commit until he was completely sure, but even if he committed early if a coach told him his scholly would be pulled if he visited somewhere else, I'd say do it just for spite...

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Morant has offers but a lot are not commitable at this time


Jan 22, 2010, 8:26 PM

A lot of those schools that offered have backed off or are full at his position. He does not have his choice of schools. He is really skinny and rated just on potential. He needs a redshirt and can contribute after 2-3 years of strength training.

Allen is possibly the #1 player in the country. Everyone would take him. Can be an impact player from day 1.

Completely different situations. And Morant does not have his choice of schools.

Why blame Korny, Crumpy is reporting the same thing

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Crump isnt breaking the news


Jan 21, 2010, 7:20 PM

Korncoot broke it already, it wouldnt be out there from Crump/BMeist

Re: Crump isnt breaking the news


Jan 21, 2010, 7:31 PM

Then they shouldn't act like they're breaking it.
"Tigernet has learned..." Why give the impression it's their story if they just listen to Korn on the radio and then report it, especially if it's considered damaging???

What ever you gave Spiller Dabo, Give to Allen***


Jan 21, 2010, 8:54 PM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

What?


Jan 23, 2010, 11:33 AM

Dabo "gave" Spiller the opportunity to join the Clemson family, be a star football player, earn a valuable degree, and be respected for his contributions athletically and academically.

Allen will be "given" the same opportunity by Dabo.

"Gamecocks aren’t ready to take college football by storm just yet. They’re not even ready to compete in their own state – Clemson will still own the territory. Gamecocks fans would be smart to keep their heads buried until that time. Avoid talking trash to a much better Clemson program.” -Dustin Tackett


There is potential in this, we need another QB. If KP hits


Jan 21, 2010, 9:05 PM

.360 this year....bye bye...he is a first rounder with a major paycheck. Word on the street is he is already being projected first rounder. Be hard to say no to a 2mil paycheck.....maybe the brothers want to stay together and we will take them both

Whoa there cowboy. I have heard nothing about Parker


Jan 21, 2010, 10:04 PM

being even remotely close to a 1st round pick. In fact, those that know the deal are saying that while Parker may have a great arm, and be an above average hitter, he is a below average fielder that makes way too many errors. He is seen as a DH at this point, and DH's do NOT get drafted in the first couple of rounds unless they are super special, and while KP is darn good, he is not super special. Most are predicting he will stay at Clemson. IF you have something in writing to support this first round nonsense, please provide a link.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

And FYI, hitting .360 in college is very good, but pretty


Jan 21, 2010, 10:07 PM

common. The best college hitters are typically hitting .400+

If KP is not hitting near or over .400 it will support the analysis I wrote above, which is pretty much the consensus of everything I've read about Parker.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Fair enough. I would like for him to stay but hope he has

the opportunity to get rich.

I think long term he's a better FB player and the NFL has


Jan 22, 2010, 11:37 PM

changed some. With spread offenses so common and the success of Pennington & Brees, teams are more apt to give a shorter guy a chance IF he is a true passing QB, not a dual threat guy, which Parker is, a thrower. Height is overblown with QBs because most OL are 6'4" and up so few QBs can see over them anyway. It's all about passing lanes.

The problem is, the NFL is hung up on physical numbers, which is why you see guys that were average players move up in the draft if they do great at the combines, but guys that are true ballers move down if they don't have great numbers in the combines. Then these high draft picks become busts because they were physical freaks like some guys we've had that never end up doing anything on the field.

This is EXACTLY why the Raiders suck! They draft guys based on speed, height, weight, combine BS, versus guys that did it on the field for years in college!!

You can have a team full of freaks, give me a dozen bill bates and woody dantzlers and my team will kill your team.

very good player but he's got work to do. I'm not saying he doesn't have the talent, but he needs to improve on last year.

Quit worrying about KP! Tajh is going to make him sit anyway.

No way. KP is a Gamer. He's not sitting, ever.
