Update: Clowney in his own words from ESPN the Magazine

"it's a big thrill when coaches like Nick Saban and Steve Spurrier call. But by the middle of the year, that feeling wore off. Now I just let the calls go to voice mail. What else can they tell me? I would say, though, that Alabama and South Carolina have done the best job of recruiting me. I'm comfortable with them, and it's probably because they keep calling every week."
Not good press for Dabo and CU I would say

Do you not get it?

The kid has never been interested in us. He is a coot with Bama as his second choice. Chickens never pass up the opportunity to get in a dig on Clemson. Dabo and company may have busted their ##### to recruit him and done a better job then either the Old ######## or Satan but a chicken would never admit that. Not sure why folks on here have a hard time grasping these situation.

Let me try and help them. CJ Spiller, DaQuan Bowers, Peake, and the list is long. Dabo has always been a good recruiter since he has been at Clemson. And to say anything different, just shows how little you do know....

Checked out the video accompanying the article. He sounds like a really good kid. Really hope he gives Clemson a chance.

Honestly, the video irritated me. And then in his article he talks about number one recruits turning out to be busts... well, I can think of one that didn't and just happened to play the same position he'll be playing and that is Mr. Bowers.

You guys are analyzing this too deeply. He doesn't even

know what he's saying. First he says it stopped being cool having coaches call every week and he let them go to voice mail, then in the next breath he says he's comfortable with them because they call every week.
These kids got no idea what they're thinking. It's a mix of gut instinct that changes monthly, a whole lot of good and bad advice from a whole lotta good and bad advisors, and often some shady under the table deals.
His words about this process are wall covering, and to try and do some in depth analysis of them is futile at best.
