great disrespect to Clemson and I am getting to the point that I don't care where he goes as long as it is not here. The latest with RN saying that he hasn't been to UGA in a long time, who knows I might fall in love with it, his mother not even speaking with Dabo, but is planning on speaking with Richt, no visit to Clemson when Ole Miss had an off week and Clemson was playing GT at home on a big weekend. It is all blatant disrespect to a school that many in the Atlanta area would love to play for and have played for.
I can't wait to click on Tigernet and find that Dabo has announced that we are no longer recruiting Mr. Nkemdiche. And the same goes for Demarcus Robinson, Darion O'Daniel and any of the others that don't know the meaning of the word commitment. Do it now Dabo, and lets try to find a good DE that knows he wants to play for Clemson and a top-15 program in front of 81,500 fans in one of the best atmospheres in the college game.

deal with it like the players or coaches. It's tempting to break ties like you say, but I think that's the rule Paul Johnson has...GT isn't looking good these days. Part of that is the scheme obviously, but this is how the game is played. Not following recruiting until after the season is the best thing all of us can do.

It's not disrespect to our school at all. It's how recruiting works in this day and age. Teams try to secure commitments as quickly in the process as possible. We are extremely fortunate that we will likely get these great players to attend our school and play on our football team. Unfortunately, most of these guys didn't grow up as huge Clemson fans, unlike most everyone on this board, so it's not like they have had ties to the school for years and years. Instead they are encouraged to commmit early, even though they are still given the opportunity to travel the country and see great college football games for free. If they say they have no interest in the school, there free trip goes away, so they have to say they are going in with an open mind. Sometimes it's hard to know where these recruits really stand, but to say you hope these great players don't come to our school is crazy. These guys are our future, and we need to continue to recruit the best players we can get.

Completley agree! Bring on all these great players!We want them we need them and after they get here all these misguided fans spouting all this nonsense on this board will be cheering them on as they win a national championship. If they dont they are either stupid or a coot!

We go after commits from other schools hard as well

Its about who you need most and even if they are not committed you but someone else you go after them. RN is a #1 recruit, you can't expect other schools to backoff on him.
I do however think that he should really make up his mind soon and focus on his senior year and let the whole drama dies. Either he should show Clemson coaches that he is firm or he should just decommit.
This extra attention he is getting from media specially AJC is negative not only for himself but also for Clemson.

Yes, so get real folks, no one is committed or safe until the papers are signed. If the process bothers you, then sit back and wait for that day.
If Robert and others read this stuff,these negative opinions and reactions to the hype will not help him to make the right decision for him or Clemson.

If you were a recruit and could basically go anywhere in the country for free, why wouldnt you take that oppurtunity?

I cant agree with the original poster. Yes it is frustrating at times but I truly believe that he will and wants to be a Clemson Tiger.
You cant just back off the #1 recruit. If anything we need to have a coach at every home game of his.
We need this young man.
It is frustrating that he did not make the GTech game. But you know, these kids get up early, go to school, stay after school for practice and then play a late night Friday game. And to make it to a 12:00 game from Atlanta, they would have to get up early. I know I enjoyed sleeping in on Saturday mornings.
If Clemson just keeps on winning, shows him a great time and gets a big win in front of him in a loud Death Valley, then all will be well.

it's a little more complicated than that. I think we have to face the fact that a verbal "commitment" doesn't mean much in the college football world these days.

The only advice I have for the OP is to NOT run his business like he would run recruiting.
If you stay in business long enough, you'll find out what I mean. It's called "stick-to-it-ness" in the South. Hang in there fella. It'll be fine.

Come on man, this stuff happens every year. We have a great shot a signing RN, who seems to be a great kid and will represent our university well once he gets here. Robert, WE want you to be a Tiger! Go Tigers, Demolish Duke!

He signs the paper on Feb. 2nd.
He has to live with the decision, not his Momma or Brother.
The question is, will she come to the BCS game next year when we play Oregon?
Not worried at all, they can look around. We have nothing to worry about, we're the best there is to offer.

I totally agree with your post. I wonder if there are other really good players out there that crossed Clemson off when RN committed?

What an idiot Dorian O'daniel has been a solid commit since committing and has been trying to get Kendall Fuller to come as well.

other day that Clemson is the place he wants to be. He's the #1 recruit in America, and he's garnering a near unhealthy amount of attention. He's 18, and of course he's going to get a little caught up in it.
But regardless, as it stands right now, he wants to come to Clemson and Clemson still wants him, as they should.

He's 18. He's not a long time fan of Clemson (like us) and has an unbiased view of colleges (other than ole miss). I think he sounds honest when he says he might fall in love with UGA. He might. He is essentially standing against his family right now. I assure you he feels a stronger allegiance and commitment to them than he does a school he is just learning about through the recruitment process.
This is a big deal and he's a young man. Young men make mistakes. Sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders and believes in Dabo.

There is no news in he is solidly committed so the media find an angle to make news.
Sadly, that is now the way of the news media.
Thrust our staff and thrust Nkemdiche.
