Yeah, he really needs to decide if he wants to be 'romanced', or live the dream he and Shaq have supposedly had for years now.

I'm sure we've already answered those questions he has. What we do with pass defense? Only #2 pass D and #1 overall in the nation in 2014...not too shabby. Put guys in the league? Two of our guys signed over 80 million in contracts (Gilchrist, Maxwell) and we have plenty in the league as well as one of the most famous guys to ever play in the NFL at DB (Dawkins). We play man coverage which every DB likes.
We get him if he doesn't take too long. Not sure who all else we're after at DB as I haven't followed closely with it being so early. We can play him our own videos lighting up Ohio State and Virginia Tech's dbs (although VT is up there with LSU as DB U)

Shame this kid doesn't read the Gamecock Boards

he would have found out that Clemson is a dump and there is nothing to do, and wouldn't have embarrassed himself with this quote:
"It was one of the best campuses that I've ever seen,” he said. “Their campus is amazing and it's a lot of fun there. Obviously, there are other factors that play into a decision, but it's definitely a wonderful campus."

Hopefully he gets it in his mind that the former has to come before the latter latter at Clemson, but get the 1st 2 right, and the latter is a definite possibility with the right skills and work ethic. Get that down, and we stand head and shoulders above the rest.

Felder would be very nice, if he really wants us and our value system and core philosophy. I don't want another Nkimdiche "goat rodeo". We have done our part, and now it's up to him if his childhood dream of playing with Rahshaun is what he really wants. He will get a chance to play for championships at Clemson, too, IMO. We have at least as much going on as the others he cited, including OSU, who we handled pretty well not too long ago.

We have only been a couple of plays or few from a national championship the past few years. Self inflicted wounds both times. Just a play or two away from a national championship recently. An opportunity to prove that he can be the one to help put Clemson over the top. Matter of knowing whether "Am I ready to meet the CHALLENGE?" or riding on the over coattails to get there.

Maxwell and Gilchrist say 'Hi'...so does Sensabaugh...and Breeland...and pretty sure I'm missing another, or two.

Seems like we've got a lot of good DBs interested

Are we pursuing him that hard? Seems like he would only decommit from the Hokies if we guaranteed him. And going after a number of backs and better ones, I'm just guessing we are about as cool on him as he is on us right now.
We certainly have been attracting top talent there lately with Alexander, Van Smith, Fields, etc.

Sounds to like a ME ME kind of guy. That just isn't who we recruit these days. If he doesn't already know what Clemson's D has been doing then he just hasn't been paying attention. I think he needs to sell himself to us, not the other way around. As he sounds like Clemson needs to hard sell him on why he should come here. And yes holding a commitment to VT over Clemson or Oh St is mind boggling.

Seem to read alot into the mind of 17 yr old highschool kid.
Mar 29, 2015, 2:53 PM

It's really a shame all the scrutiny the these guys are exposed to at such a young age. When I was 17 I had the mind of a pea. I thought there nothing more important in life than what was under Mary Jo Rottin Crotch's undies.
I say we give him the benefit of the doubt. Reed's been recruiting since camp. He seems like a good guy and if he wasn't, I don't think Reed would have offered.
IMO

Yep i agree

He's young, we shouldn't judge what a 16 or 17 yr old kid says. I do agree with some other posters that if he doesn't commit early, we may move on. Hopefully thay doesn't affect Smith's decision, i don't think it will but you never know. If the kid does his homework, he will see that the last 6 or 7 yrs we have put many DBs in the NFL. Justin Miller, Maxewell, Sensabaugh, Breeland, Meeks, Gilchrist, I cant remember his name but the DB that went in the first round to the rams in 07 i think, and im sure there are more that i have forgot.

This kid soundsMUCH more like "duche" than ANY part of how you'd spell NkemdITCHY! "KIM (CARDASHIAN) ITCHY" WAS THE perceived BEST player in the nation, not the best athlete, but PLAYER! Don't forget, we didn't WANT that African reject, we LUSTED after him ( until his ##### of a mom ((NOT MOTHER)) lower case "mom") (which translates once again into "whatever it takes" "#####") auctionioned him off...we FEIGNED for that kid as THE #1 overall...kid WILL be a beast, but not here...now back to the OTHER kid. Not that good. This kid will get lost in an upper tier depth chart, and CLEMSON has that...let HIM dance on his own, because CLEMSON dances TOGETHER...that's all...kid, IS an APAPPROPRIATELY appointed 3*, and in college, he'll be lucky to PROVE himself 2* worthy...anyone who's ever read MY posts should say that I'll call it as best I can without, any bias (c.j.fuller, nyheim hines, ALEXANDER, WATSON, Ellington, McDowell, Bryant, shuey, smith...)...I'm no analyst, and while he IS more athletic than me, he's still OVERRATED as a 3*!...WOW! I never expected such a long rant...now I feel like a child abuser...sad...
