I am not gonna throw out click bait on you to get hits, I am just gonna tell you like it is. XT has always been up front with me, and we have a good relationship and that's why I've been able to get good stories when no one else has. Right now, I haven't heard anything from him, but I have reached out to him and a few other people to see what kind of truth there is to everything.
As SOON as I hear something, I will pop it up on the board so you will know. Until then I will keep texting and calling.

Thanks David. Really hope it is just a rumbling but hey if he wants to join 100 years of futility in Columbia. Have at it. One player does not make Clemson

This is not originally my idea but

I could easily see XT contacting Clemson to let him know he wanted to go on a visit to SCar while in SC only to get push back on the whole "no visits" policy. I could see something like that coupled with the fact that SCar has actually been winning games as well which further would pique XT's interest in reconsidering his childhood favorite team.
I have no insider knowledge, but it seems pretty plausible and I'm sure there's more to it than that - if anything. I just hope it's a temporary spat and that it all gets sorted out before signing day.

Remember that tweet from a few months back, "to those who think I'm going to flip... NO CHANCE" with the Arnold gif?
He deleted it from his feed earlier today.

Remember him recruiting his @ss off for our other top targets? Yeah, that can't be "deleted."

about coming to clemson. hit up asa martin with the yards we held auburn to. saying it's not to late to change your mind. let's not forget is uscjr winning games or being handed games? 104th in the country on offense and 115th on defense. that's pretty bad.

Every tweet of his before 4/20 appears missing
Sep 14, 2017, 6:18 PM
[ in reply to Re: Xavier Thomas ] |

except for the pinned one from 4/8 for his commitment. Either they are inaccessible due a twitter glitch, or he's deleted a bunch of history. I'm not a twitter expert. There might be a way to do this in an automated method.

reading between the lines with teenagers, it does seem a little odd that he has changed that Clemson twitter header, and the profile pic he posted last weekend in the uniform.. It is what is is tho.. The kid has amazing talent and I definitely want him to be a Tiger.. But something about all this has me pretty pessimistic about that happening right now...

I think he may want to take some OVs (SCar this weekend among them?), and as per Dabo's policy, he'd have to decommit to do so. This might be a Shaq Smith 2.0.

If anything this is probably what might happen. It doesn't make sense to be on campus and see a dominate performance by our defense, even tweet that you can't wait to play on that D line, and then all of the sudden decommit.

He has been and continues to be an ambassador for Clemson Athletics.
But give the young man his due, he wants to be courted, given the preferential treatment and told he's awesome. Which we already know.
But at the end of it all he's a Tiger, a Clemson Tiger!

To keep with the spirit of looking into every little recruiting detail.. I remember watching this and thinking it was interesting that he almost said USC.. At first I thought it was just a slip up, but now all this is coming out and it just seems that much more interesting...
Check out 3:13 of the video..

Or just a well planned buffer... with this dropping, he knew coaches, media, etc. would be blowing his phone up.

He took down "Clemson Commit" on his Instagram page
Sep 14, 2017, 7:21 PM

A few mins ago for whatever that's worth.
I guess he wants to visit which means he can't really call himself a commitment.

The bottom line folks.....
Sep 14, 2017, 7:26 PM
|
|
Is that XT can take visits and do whatever makes the young man happy. But barring injury; it will be Trevor Lawrence that continues the Natty tradition for Clemson during the years XT will be playing college ball. QB's like Trevor bring home the bacon!!! As good as the Clown was he could't do much in the way of titles for the Coots. One DE does not a Defense or team make no matter how exceptional but a QB like DW or TL can make it happen especially with the talent and coaching that Dabo surrounds them with. If I were a recruit with aspirations to win a National Title and get recognized on National TV regularly (like every week) then I wouldn't want to miss my seat on the Clemson bus because it is going places unlike those found in Cootville; Athens; Gainesville and Knoxville. Don't see XT giving up his seat especially after what Venables threw out on the field against Aubie. Just saying......

Any chance you guys could merge all XT topics into this one. The mange freaking out and creating 50 topics about this could make us all look like insecure adolescent girls.

I have a bad feeling we could possibly get Nkendiched. Maybe the Nkemdiche deal is the biggest reason we are worried. I don't want to lose XT- especially to those chickens.
