about nuk's statement. I'm posting it here for a reason.

Didn't he say a couple years ago that he used his high school in intros for some other reason or did "we" interweb people just make that up until we believed it.

No he definitely said that


Jun 10, 2020, 11:04 AM

It had to do with us focusing and promoting another WR more than him (Sammy). The more he talks, the less I like him.

Re: No he definitely said that


Jun 10, 2020, 11:17 AM

That's what I seemed to remember. To come out and say this now after saying that then isn't a good look IMO.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


It's called 'pandering'


Jun 10, 2020, 11:19 AM

And all of the celebrities and brands are doing it. It's the cool thing nowadays.

Please forgive me, @IneligibleUser


No, he never said that was the reason for not mentioning

to the conclusion that was the reason. Nuk never said that unless I’m missing something.

So I can infer stuff all day long and not have anyone

judge me because I didn't directly state it?

it aids your side of the argument. HTH

I'm curious what kind of jobs people have


Jun 10, 2020, 12:26 PM

that doesn't make them make inferences all the time?

Am I the only analist in here?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


He obviously has several things that bother him about


Jun 10, 2020, 12:28 PM [ in reply to Jumping to conclusions is only convenient when ]

Clemson.

But people keep saying he’s changed his story about why he doesn’t mention Clemson in NFL intros.

That’s not true.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-jospehg.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


So he's stated all these other things when yet never


Jun 10, 2020, 12:46 PM

mentioned the biggest issue he has with the school?

Interesting to say the least.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


How do you know he never mentioned the biggest


Jun 10, 2020, 12:55 PM

issue he has with the school? It may be true he never mentioned it to the press, or in a few quotes cherry-picked from that podcast. So what?

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-jospehg.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


If he mentioned these other greivances he had with Swinney


Jun 10, 2020, 1:01 PM

and or Clemson in general to the press, why wouldn't he mention this?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Who knows? Maybe, he was holding back. I just


Jun 10, 2020, 1:15 PM

don’t get accusing a guy of being disingenuous when you really don’t know. He might be but I really don’t have enough info to go on.

There may be other reasons that he has negative feelings toward Clemson that he still hasn’t stated.

I just need to know a bit more before I label a guy disingenuous.

Many on the mange wondered why he came to Clemson at all if he feels that way without considering the fact that he’s grown as a person and is completely different than the person he was in H.S. We are all different than we were 10 years ago.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-jospehg.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I never said he was disingenuous


Jun 10, 2020, 1:20 PM

I simply stated he said other things in the past.


And this is how the wheel spins.....

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I thought I remembered it


Jun 10, 2020, 11:04 AM

being that Dabo refused to make him WR#1 when Sammy was here. I mentioned this to some SCU friends yesterday and they said I was making that up.

Shorty and I prefer he say Daniel HS.

Don't care why.

LOL. I like players giving attention to their high school


Jun 10, 2020, 11:24 AM

If they're popular enough, everybody knows where they went to College anyway.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


He was always a little salty that Dabo said he should stay


Jun 10, 2020, 11:23 AM

for his senior year and that he wasn't ready for the pros yet. I think there was an awareness or maybe just an assumption that Dabo might have told some scouts the same thing. I think he felt like it cost him some money.

2024 purple level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgbadge-ringofhonor-fordprefect.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I remember that. I'd be salty too.


Jun 10, 2020, 11:26 AM

Good advice for Hamilton, no so much for Nuk.

Re: sirrius queshon


Jun 10, 2020, 11:27 AM

I think this is the third or fourth reason he has given. At one point, in addition to the issue he had with Sammy that has been mentioned, I think he said it was because he wanted to give the town of Clemson attention rather than just the school. Merits of the Tillman name aside, I don't believe for a moment that's why Nuk doesn't mention Clemson in his intro.

Nuk on why he said Daniel and not Clemson on SNF

@blesssssssssss
@Nukdabomb so sad that I was watching your introduction and you stated you were from Daniel High School and not Clemson University. Why?

My whole family grew up in Clemson. That city mean more to me than just one day out the week. https://t.co/5NOZ0KUkoJ

No, he didn’t mention h.s. intros when he made that


Jun 10, 2020, 11:47 AM

statement a few years ago.

People just made the assumption when he said that.

I don't see what the big deal is.....


Jun 10, 2020, 1:31 PM

The NCAA made the rule that players can't be paid. Not Clemson. For this reason I can understand his leaving for the NFL.
