what is and what might be.
Clemson is putting quality WRs in the NFL. Tenn might at some point in the future. Maybe

the west--tennessee who has become infamous for oversigning far in excess of 30 recruits per year......
the NCAA rule is 28 players per recruiting season. the SEC "rule" (chuckle) is 25 players per year.....
now, we get word that Tennessee will be amongst the highest paying stipend schools in the country....TENNESSEE!!!!!!! along with two other bastions of intellectual pursuit: 'Bama & Auburn.
despite the perfidy in chapelhole, the SEC remains the sleaziest conference in the US

I would not be surprised to see us and other schools lose recruits because of the stipend. If Tenn is paying 1500 more than CU, I can see some going there because to an 18 year old that is a lot of money.

Should come down to the status of a few other positions...

What is the outlook at QB, OL, and RB? These are important factors in a successful WR career. Clemson's consistent offensive performance should be well established by the time this man embarks on his collegiate journey.

Xavier Kelly and his Dad should share their Recipe for looking for and finding the differences in the schools they are looking at.

We need to schedule Tenn, it wouldn't even be close

Our WR would have a field day. Our DBs would embarrass theirs. Tennessee may call themselves WRU but they have nothing to back it up.

Tennessee doesn't want any of us. They are too skeered. I may deeply loathe Auburn but I do give them credit for scheduling home-and-homes with us. Hey Vols, when the two of you play your sweet little game this season, tell the Sooners we'll try to take it easy on them next time, but until further notice, they're our bitxhes. We're even taking recruits out of their backyard now.

we'd expect home and home and they would never go for that.

Tenn constantly selling "SEC this" and "SEC that" while Clemson will sell Clemson. If he doesn't fall for the SEC overhype machine then he'll be a tiger.

Who's throwing to WR at Tennessee?
Jul 26, 2015, 8:06 PM
|

It ain't DW4, Kelly Bryant, or Z Cooper. If you think Tenneessee is WRU, then you assume their QB play will be better than ours. It won't and that's a fact. You can develop a WR all day but he can't be drafted with no highlights.

If I recall correctly, they played an effdctive freshman QB last season... or was that Kentucky? I remember a young, dual-threat QB beat the chickens in with dramatic comeback shortly prior to the Palmetto Bowl rout.

I really just don't see why any recruit would choose Tenn over
Jul 27, 2015, 12:48 AM

Us, at least at this point in time. They are enjoying 6 or 7 win seasons while we are enjoying 4 straight 10 win seasons. How many games have they won in their conference the past few yrs? 2 or 3? When is the last time they won a.conference title? Last time we won is in 2011. What about a BCS bowl game? Well we just won the Orange bowl in 2013. What about there QB situation? they might have a good qb, idk ,but is he as good as DW, Kelly Bryant or Zerrick Cooper? Highly doubt it. Ive been to the Tenn stadium once and imo, it is no where near as nice as death valley. Maybe its just because im a Clemson fan but i would have to think Clemson is the safer bet to win championships, make it into the NFL and get your degree.

why Overton may lean towards pale orange
Jul 27, 2015, 7:21 AM

While I am not familiar with their roster, there's no way they can be as deep at WR as we are. Probably have a chance to start faster

WR depth shouldn't be a factor if you think about it. If this kid is as good as he is supposed to be, depth will help him on the field. There will be less double/triple coverage when every receiver on the field is a 4-5 star.

7 analysts have him going to Clemson at this point. Not 1 is predicting him to TN....interesting. Hope they are right!
