Re: LOL, "don't want him to play for us"

How do you know he's made peace with Dabo and Chad. He lied directly to Chad, too, as per the article I read, and I didn't see anything in the article that said he had spoken to either Dabo or Chad since coming clean about the visit. He did say he regretted the visit, and that's good, but he will have to earn their trust again, IMO. I will be interested in hearing their responses to his revelation. I imagine a good show of remorse will go a long way in regaining their trust. I hope he learned his lesson.

on tigernet. Here I am just a simple football fan with no psychic powers surrounded by recruiting experts who can read minds. Dabo gets paid a lot of money to know more about this than you, and guess what he does. Every kid is different and sometimes they don't always do what you want. The way one kid acted last year has absolutely nothing to do with this one.

I trust Dabo's judgement on this type of thing. I think your attitude toward the young man is despicable. The young man lied and he should not lie, I think all the coaches invloved are making that clear to him, that is part of growing up.

May 28, 2013, 11:26 PM

is different, and how he is not the kind of kid that would lie; "If he did, it would be the first time".

I'm sure Deshaun Watson IS a great kid, and I believe this is out of character for him, and I believe it is the first time he has lied to his coach.

But he did.

This only reinforces two things we already know:

1. Recruiting and the pressure that goes along with it is out of control.
2. When a recruit commits, it doesn't mean they are committed. Even if they honor their commitment, their "word" often doesn't mean anything.

May 28, 2013, 11:29 PM

This is a black and white issue.

He lied.

Now, evidently he's talked to Dabo since and they've made their peace about it, and I don't think any of us simple fans should feign outrage.

But this isn't one of those situations that is murky. He did something spontaneous, then was stupid in the coverup. It happens, he got busted, and now he's got to re-earn the coaches' trust.

So be it. I'll wait until signing day to really care.

May 28, 2013, 11:34 PM

Cut ties with him? You don't want him to play for us? Are you out of your mind?

I understand he went to Auburn, and lied about it. Not a good decision. However, he had the guts to admit it was a mistake. A MISTAKE. If his biggest mistake is visiting another campus, then we should consider ourselves very lucky. Keep in mind you are talking about a 17 year old kid. Quit acting so high and mighty.

The kid made a mistake. Big deal, let it go. He apologized to the coaches and admitted it, and thats plenty good enough for me. And no there are not "plenty just as good." He is the number one quarterback in the country, and he has broken just about every record he can break in the state of Georgia (pretty talented area). I don't know of many high school QBs passing for 4000+ yards and rushing for 1500 yards and racking up 60+ touchdowns in one of the hardest regions in the nation.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Amen! But that won't

appease the small minority of "purists" on here. The kid made a mistake and owned up to it. Good for him - surely he's learned a lesson on integrity.

May 28, 2013, 11:39 PM

He confirms his 100% commitment to Clemson University. He tells everyone, including coaches and the media, that his recruitment is now over and that he will not entertain any additional offers. He states that he will not take any recruiting visits. His only discussion from this point forward will be about his senior season, his family, and Clemson.

Makes sense to me. If he's the great young man I believe he is, he will have no problem with this.

May 29, 2013, 12:02 AM

Dabo told Fuller to shut down his recruitment and not take anymore visits.

"Today after practice, I called Coach Swinney and told him that I was 'All In.' He got really excited," Fuller said. "He was happy and proud. He was just telling me that commitment to Clemson was like a marriage, and that I would have to end my recruitment. He said that I can't take anymore visits and can't talk to anymore coaches. I told him that that's what I wanted to do."

This is how I know


May 29, 2013, 12:55 AM

According to TigerIllustrated article:

Watson reached out to his recruiter of record for Clemson, offensive coordinator Chad Morris, earlier this evening, and also talked to Dabo Swinney, and shared the news with them about his visit to Auburn.

"Both coaches realize he is a 17 year old kid... They realize it was a bad decision."

"The only way he doesn't (end up at Clemson) is if Clemson tells him they don't want him back. And I know Coach Morris and Coach Swinney won't do that. But I do think he has to earn there respect back."

I love this kid but this wouldn't be happening if he'd shut


May 29, 2013, 8:35 AM

down his recruiting. If he'd just tell everyone to "leave me alone", it wouldn't be this bad. He's left the door open. I understand he's young and being pulled in God knows how many directions, but he's done it to himself to a certain extent. Also, why has the top recruit at Clemson the last two years been wavering on his commitment?

Bottom Line: kid is a gamechanger and I hope he keeps his word and comes to Clemson and has a great career. However, it bothers me that his first instinct was to cover this up. Not exactly a trait I'd look for from the person that is supposed to be the leader of the team, the field General, but he's a kid and kids do dumb things sometimes. I hope its a one and done incident. I think he's going to be a great one at Clemson.

Some fans get too involved emotionally with the recruits but that mess goes away after signing day. Don't let the negative nancies with their panties in a wad make you feel unwelcomed. They have nothing better to worry about than every move you make. Why somebody would rather give up a good recruit than deal with drama is beyond me.

You do realize he said he wished he could have left Auburn as soon as he got there (didn't have the transportation to leave). You are all acting like he is "wavering" on his commitment. He said he wishes that he never went, and that he is a 100% Tiger.

I've come to the realization that a lot of posts on here are coot trolls trying to make our fanbase look classless because they know they have no upside after next year. However, for those Clemson fans on here bashing him, you should be ashamed. You are (I'm assuming) a grown man hating on a 17 year old kid who says that he truly loves Clemson, and honestly you are not much of a fan at all.

Kudos to those on here who have stuck up for him. Go Tigers.

I did nothing but bash people for criticizing and shunning Watson. I called those people losers. Unless your reading comprehension is very bad, you replied to the wrong post.

They think that the other teams are going to roll out the red carpet and let us stroll pretty and cleanly into the National Championship Game without a spot or blemish. Hello this is the real world. Temptation gets the best of us. Thank God for his GRACE AND MERCY.

DW got pulled into this trip by an assistant coach at his high school; an adult inside his inner circle that should have been trusted to do what was right by DW that convince him to take a trip that DW himself said that he wouldn't take. he is a 17 year old listening to an adult mentor, and any coach on the high school team staff is a mentor.

the real question is how will the high school head coach keep this assistant on his staff when this staff member clearly undermined his influence and authority??

too often you knuckleheads want to blame an immature teenager when a lot of times adults are the culprits behind these kind of situations. adults gave Nkemdichee leeway to act the way that he did, i.e. his mother. in this case, an assistant coach influenced and prodded DW into taking the trip. children (teens included) only behave the way they are taught or allowed to behave...

DW is and always will be a CLEMSON Tiger!!

I think that Watson understands and see these coots on here as well as all of us Tigers on here see them as soon as they pop up and show their UGLY heads.

Lets please refrain

From bashing our recruits on here. Despite what you may think, they do come to this site and read the content on here. I would hate to lose such an awesome recruit because we were saying negative things about him. Sorry just my 2 cents

This kid has the best football sparrow I ever seem. His pass looks like it is on a robe. Its so crisp that some of those high school receivers can't handle some of his passes at close range.

I would hate to think of all the mistakes I have made in life . Just 17 alone is enough for two people! So who am I to judge!! He made a mistake at 17 and confessed to it that is the sign of a great man in the making!!!!! Now the thing about mistakes is do it twice and it becomes something else all together! Go tigers

Someone should light up that..

Assistants ### for dropping him in Auburn with no transportation. Who's paying the assistant for setting this up?

Nothing but support should be given to Watson and our Coaching staff. Don't be blasting him for allowing a mentor to guide him in that direction. Blast the sucker that took him to Auburn.
