Crawford has great speed for a man his size. Beasley, I love this guys drive. He is like a human sled machine plowing and plowing.

Defensive end Tavaris Barnes said that Florida St. head coach Jimbo Fisher, wide receivers coach Lawrence Dawsey and defensive ends coach Darin Eliot came by his house on Thursday in an effort to get the 4-star player to swing back to the Seminoles, the school he originally had committed to.
“Basically, they just wanted me to come in on an official visit,” Barnes said. “They told me how they didn’t just want me, they needed me. They were talking to me about Tallahassee being close to home, and telling me about summer jobs they have there. They were just trying to sell me on being so close to home.”
-- Summer jobs?
Barnes said that despite the hard push from Seminole coaches, he told them he was still firm with the Tigers.
“I told coach coach Dawsey I was going to stick with Clemson,” Barnes said. “He asked me why, and I told him that is what my heart is telling me to do. I told him that when I had committed to FSU that I did so for all the wrong reasons. I feel that going to Clemson is the best move for me.
“Before, it was a lot of people telling me I needed to go to FSU, and that it was close to home. I like FSU, but it just isn’t for me. Just because you like something doesn’t mean you are supposed to be there. Clemson is the right place for me and for my family.”
-- Again I'll say, I know that there are plenty of fans on here that have nine of their top ten things they want to see at Clemson as "win the games", but the more I read these comments from these kids the more I enjoy cheering for them in the fall regardless of the outcome. Dabo is clearly selling something at Clemson that is a different mindset than the other big-time programs out there, and it resonates with the kids and their families.

That does sound fishy. Remember we had a booster.....

almost get us in trouble with NCAA a few years ago over some summer jobs for Gaffney recruits. We ended up dropping their recruitment and disassociating ourselves with that booster to stay clean. Wonder if this is a similar arrangement?
