Re: so why would he visit all 4 schools again before announcing?***

Free food... it's a vacation.... why not? I mean who wouldn't want to travel to different colleges with some buddies?... He may really like Clemson but a friend going here wouldn't put us from off the map to number 1

It's funny because Kamara will never get an offer from Bama and he has been so high strung on playing with him. I'm sorry but I'm not buying it either. I've heard all signs pointing him at LSU if anything but I'm still hoping he picks Clemson.

Work on setting up the last visit Dabo and make sure Kamara and Gallman are with him when he visits.

The fact that he's waiting actually really helps us.

If Kamara commits soon (really hoping he does), Nkemdiche may wind up visiting Clemson alongside his two teammates and good friends.

expect him to commit then. TCI is saying that he is all Clemson but is waiting to show his mom the campus before he commits.

ive never been in his situation
Apr 17, 2012, 3:44 PM

but i dont see how committing early puts pressure on him? I would think getting it done leaves less to think about later on and he can focus on other things, like his last year in high school

Well he's been saying for so long he wants to pick a school and get it done with so he can focus on his senior year and senior season of football. I don't see that changing. I'm no expert but I expect a commitment before September and I don't see Ole Miss being the team, it's down to Clemson, LSU, and Alabama I think.

I don't see why his coach wouldn't encourage him to commit early, so he can focus on winning ballgames in the fall. Unless, perhaps, the coach knows that if he committed today it wouldn't be to the coach's alma mater?

I think Mickey Conn wants Nkemdiche at Alabama and if not there, Clemson. Because he will be out of the SEC and not having to play his alma mater and also because him and Dabo played ball together at Bama.

his decision a good bit. Leaving for college and completely changing your lifestyle can be intimidating, so why not go with some people that you have grown up with, and to a school who has a good reputation of putting Defensive Lineman in the NFL? Anybody who is counting Clemson out right now might just get a shock of a lifetime.

I hate to sound like a pumper but I have heard he's a silent to LSU and Alabama. That said, I don't believe it. I honestly think Clemson is top 2 with one of those two (Probably Alabama).
I mean, you can call me what you would like but just based on the chain of events, things I've seen on twitter and through recruiting sites, that he is up in the air and Clemson has as good a chance as any.
Gallman has been saying he's trying to get the other two to commit. I think Kamara will commit and that might be the icing on the cake that gets Nkemdiche to give us the "All In", just my feelings though.

I think he's using Clemson to get his friend a scholarship.

I don't get the impression he is seriously considering Clemson.
But, any time we can get a visit, I feel good about our chances.

No you're thinking of Alvin Kamara who is #79 on ESPN out of Norcross high school. His friend is David Kamara, also out of Grayson High School.........

and less a fan of package deals.
Daniel Andrews for Jamie Harper, and then Harper (better in NFL then college) never lived up to hype. There were a couple others we took a class ahead of a stud, then struck out on the stud.
As SOME point the program needs to rise above that and be good enough on its own to say "come here or don't, no special deals".

Seems Clemson has some appeal.
Dabo is ex-teammate with coaches. He would start as a freshman. His other teammates will be at Clemson.
I think we have a decent shot.
