Friend from Michigan
Jan 31, 2016, 8:12 PM

Said Gary will commit to them Wednesday. I asked why so confident, and he basically said he has been Michigan lean from day 1 and even heard he was a silent commit. I told him I felt like he had a good weekend with the Tigers and maybe his eyes were opened a little bit. He basically said no way and he would be in blue. I told him that we will find out Weds.
I'm not sure where Gary will wind up but I truly believe it's between us and Michigan. Signing day can't get here fast enough

His former high school coach is their recruiting coordinator. Honestly, if Michigan doesn't land him that guy is probably losing his job. I think that's part of the reason why they are so confident. Not to mention the fact that they recruited all of his friends.

They just added Tom Brady and Derek Jeter to NSD so I don't think they would be doing that for all their other signings.

Like his mother said "why not Clemson... I'd say Rashan is closer to his uncle than his high school coach."
And Unc loves Clemson.

Reasons not to doubt Clemson 1. Academics are pretty highly regarded at Clemson and probably was better than they thought going in. 2. Michigan has had a run of de commits and their coach has shown some moments where he has been immature and disrespectful. While Dabo has fun is always seen as a mentor figure who loves family and grows kids. Character is factor #1 for both the Gary side and Clemson. 3. Weather is nice. 4. Family is a stones throw away that isn't tied to the school like his former coach is. 5. Lots of games will be close by for his mom and she has a place to stay when she comes to Clemson. 6. Clemson has had the lost shot. 7. Clemson just played for the national title 8. He won't get lead poisoning. 9. He can literally make history and shock everyone. 10. Similar to another point but I'm not sure that they have the same level of trust that maybe they used to with the Michigan coaches. If Clemson came through on all its promises and with no de commits this class it should at least even the playing field and truly let all the facts and feelings bare out.

I'd like to think that but the fact that he almost didn't even take an OV here brings me back to the reality that we probably aren't getting him.
Sucks the way it's been overblown on here overshadowing arguably our best class ever with the highest ranked recruit we've ever landed.
I wouldn't think twice in picking Trayvon Mullen over Gary.

Very interesting article I am the uncle and what this person is saying is even news to me, Rashan may go to Michigan he may come to Clemson, but there has never been any quiet commit. That's just plan crazy talk, my sister has been above board through out this process, at the end of the day the final decision will be made this week like they said they would. Wow just so unbelievable what I am reading tonight

but I want all the players to chose the school that's best for them and their families. He's going to do well no matter where he goes--just hope he does it as a Tiger! Go Tigers!!

I think the young man and his family have been forthcoming in all they have said and done. I hope the young man chooses a school where he will grow and receive an education that will benefit him for the rest of his life. I hope it will be at CU but if he chooses to go elsewhere then the best of luck to him.

A lot of words get twisted between people, even though some of it is hard to believe. All we can do is wish Rashan and the rest of the family well in his recruitment.

jayfrederick, as you know i am sure there is quite a difference in the coaching styles and personalities between coach swinney and coach harbaugh. he did not leave san fran just to take the michigan job. your sister seems like a very grounded lady. i know she saw those differences this weekend. hopefully that was enough. either way good luck to rashan. seems like a very good kid.

but there is no application process to be a fan, or a member of this board. The strength of Rashan's celebrity will bring all sorts of crazy. Probably need to get used to it for most likely more is to come.

I hope he comes to Clemson. It is a special place to grow as a man. I have never been to Ann Arbor, but it appears there are built-in friends and advisors there.
I look back on life and family and my college connections are what are closest to me.
I think he'll make as well researched decision as possible. He sees something in Clemson or they would not have visited.
Good luck on the decision.
Thank you - Rashan's uncle and cousin.

There's a lot of talk going around and most of it is craziness and cockiness. You and your family have been incredibly transparent throughout the process and I'm hoping fans of whatever school isn't chosen will recognize that and respect Rashan's decision.

Fans on here that disguise themselves as Clemson fans and say some pretty crazy things to try and make recruits and thier families upset. Just know that about some of these people.

Most of the crazy talk is South Carolina fans posing as tiger fans. They do that to stir crap up. We believe we have as good a chance as anyone. We would very much like to have this young man playing for Clemson.

A couple? Yeah, maybe. But most of it is Clemson fans simply not thinking before they post. It happens everywhere unfortunately...

I agree with you; too much crazy talk on these boards. Your nephew has a good head on his shoulders and good people who love and support him to advise him. Let's leave him alone while he makes this important decision and support him no matter what decision he makes.

I was surprised he was so confident but I still thought we have a chance. When he said silent commit I was very skeptical but like I said Wednesday is the day and I'm excited! We already have a stellar class and Mr. Gary would be icing on the cake
