This isn’t like the Black Mamba, who committed to USC several months ago and has had lots of time to really think things over. Byers held a press conference just a few days ago and committed himself to Oregon… and then he changed his mind? I’m sorry, but I’ll never be OK with that.
I understand Clemson was his dream school. But if he really wanted to go to Clemson, why did he commit to Oregon at all? Why not just wait until signing day and then commit to a school, without making one school falsely plan on having him?
How much longer are we going to keep using the word “committed” when describing recruits before LOI day?

It is what it is. Kid wanted to stay home.

Tough loss, best of luck to Byers though...

Said as late as Yesturday that if Clemson came calling he was solid to Oregon.... apparently NOT !

Close to home. And tbh, SC and NC are big time underachievers as well, I'd probably pick Clemson if I was from the Carolina area.

This sucks though a lot, we always seem to whiff at D-linemen. Hemuli seems to be the only smart one!

USC 2011 DT's and DE's: Wilson, Townsend Jr., Heyward, Woods and Temple. Add those to the 12 returning DE's and DT's; it's sure is hard for me to understand why a recruit would want to join that kind of a log jam.

Really hurts since Oregon just lost 3 DL in one morning. Looks like French will be at DE now.

Clemson's coming on strong. They have a pretty awesome class.

Isn't that basically the ACC in a nutshell?

Haha pretty much. But Clemson always seems to pull a ton of good recruits.

Best of luck to Byers. I also thought that he was solid after he said that he wasn't interested in being Clemson's "backup" plan.

I think Byers is going to be a good one and I can understand why he would want to stay close to home. It just sucks that we lost a d-lineman.

Perhaps you just like the Sumo Unis.
