Good height, speed with moves, and an open positive attitude. Let's have him and his family come meet ours!

All of out scholarships are going to filled by the time this kid makes a decision. I know that he wants to hold out until signing day, but he is not that highly ranked and will end up at some big name school with bigger named players. Probably at Ohio State because of how Meyer works his recruiting. This kid waits to long and he'll never see significant snaps. Example Qunishad Davis, or ______ insert Florida State receiver name. Kids are making their choices now and before signing day. It's a safe bet to do that so you can walk through your last playing year with no stress. You also get the popularity of being known as the kid in school going to Clemson or whatever U. I think Jeff Scott was hoping he could talk him into an early commit and a visit. Regardless I feel that with the 8 scholarships that we have left, it would be nice to get. D-End Robert Nkemdiche (Loganville GA), D-End Jaylen Miller (Gaffney SC),RB Dontre Wilson (Desoto TX) Better than CJ speed, ball control like a pro, check for yourself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zCiuvj0aLw, Corner Kendall Fuller (Olney MD) teammate of Clemson commit Dorian O'Daniel,Corner David Kamara (Loganville GA) Teammate of Clemson Commit Wayne Gallman and future commit Robert Nkemdiche, D-tackle Michael Hill (Pendleton SC) Huge guy with tons of upside, Athlete Mykal Moody (Conway SC) He can play just about every position his size and speed makes him a good wideout/H-back type or any D-back spot. Wideout Marquez North (Charlotte NC) Big Fast and "Nuk" like, Any questions about other recruits? Ask me and you might get some low down info.

we didn't fill our class in 2012 did we? i thought we had a few extra schollies to throw towards this year's class.
funny that in a lot of these interviews with the recruits that they mention Sammy. and when asked about their visits a lot of them have said either they are looking forward to meeting Sammy, or excited to have gotten to hang out with him some on their visit. seems to me like Sammy is one of our best recruiters lol.

We have more than 8 scholarships left. We will end up taking about 18 by signing day. We have a huge number of underclassmen right now and not everyone will get a chance to play. I hate to see guys leave but I expect a few transfers before the end of the season.

We had 12 Scholarships left then we lost Sanders, and Lewis, which freed up some spots. We got Ellington and Brown to come back which kinda hurt us but their veteran leadership will help. Kellen Jones and Jerrod Williams took up some scholars as well. We had 18 coming in but we added a few transfers and lost a couple. From what I know, Jones would have given us 16 but coming in we only had 16 scholarships left to give. 16 is the magic number this year and we were looking at maybe 10 if things didn't turn out the way they did. With Spencer Adams and Carlton Lewis leaving.

Track coach wouldn't let him lift as much and he valued track and field over football. Dabo told him that his services would be better suited for track when he weighed in at 160lbs. He came to Clemson at around 175lbs, and they wondered about his ability to tackle then, but he is fast and I believe he is our best in the 200 meters.

Guy is a Big Michigan Lean..need to get him to the Valley

Guy is a big Michigan lean at this point but he has a long way to be flipped. Apparently UM has been recruiting him real hard and believe he's been on campus at like 4-5 times already. Urban Meyer tried to make a run but still think the kid likes UM. Have to get him to the Valley to have a chance.

us but their veteran leadership will help." SAY WHAT? DO YA THINK? Can you possibly be considering two extra scholarships for unproven HS prospects as being more valuable than Ellington and Brown? COME ON, MAN!

Well like real a ####### Solos you read to much into someones comment without reading it for the context. Hurt us in in relation to the amount of scholarships we would have not that their staying hurt us. I was explaining to someone else, why we have the amount of scholarships we have. Not that having Ellington and Brown were a problem in general.
