Jadeveon Clowney

[Phalanx]

Clemson is supposedly on the lead right now, so maybe he is just coming out here to commit in front of chip?

That would be sweet justice for the recruits Clemson has snagged from us.

Well, especially since Byers decomitting could actually be a reason to check out Oregon. Poetic.

The last time I read this thread at around 3:30, it was 3 pages long. Almost 3.5 hours later, it has exploded to around 13. Amazing what a rumor will do sometimes.

Especially when there are no more recruits left. We get to invest all our emotions in one guy...should be interesting.

So it's gonna be Pryor and Bryce Brown all over again.

I was thinking the same thing. Poor Gamecocks and Tigers. But now possibly this, haha. I'm just gonna have fun with this one.

My thoughts in this thread.

page 1...lol funny...but hey wait...why are there already 11 pages
page 2-5 waits for denial confirmation and then tangents
page 6-9 really, this rumor may have legs? lol...again
page 10 on please be a confirmation, please please please.

I doubt whether I will ever see a thread progression as patently awesome as this one again in my life. The whimsical thought, almost ridiculous, is bandied about so long that it somehow magically becomes 'reality'. Who knows where it goes from here. I have a feeling it will all be anticlimax after this. I'm just smoking the proverbial cigarette at this point, haha.

(Cough, Cough) Yeah me too....cigarette (cough). Far Out.

Gives new meaning to the term "pipe dream" doesn't it?!?

Haha oh yeah

I would love to dissect the origins of a rumor.

First, it is necessary to sound wild but also halfway plausible. It is widely known that Oregon could use a DL recruit. It is also widely known that Oregon got DAT to make the switch.

Combine this with recruiting sites desperate to stay relevant after LOI day...and there you have it. JHOP or anyone can report something as a 'rumor' without making a commitment to its veracity. Heck, he may have even read it here.

True. Probably is a rumor. Then again, that was the same reaction most had about DAT to Oregon when it first came out.

Uh Wheaton, he's going to have early playing time regardless of where he goes . . .

I don't think that's a given at all at Alabama. They probably have the best DL in the country and are bringing in a truckload of DL studs in this class that expect to play also.

damn I go to dinner and there was 4 pages on this subject. haha. awesome

Too funny. I took a break too and came back to see if anything solid is posted and no but tons more posts on rumors. One thing is for sure someone eventually needs to give some solid info and I hope we are not waiting for the next 10 days on the edge of our seats to see where he goes. Either pick us or eliminate us.

Holy crap, I go to work and this thread blows up. Lol if this ends up being true, my apologies to dubbz.

Honestly, I think it's prob safe to assume this one big rumor. I feel like if it had any legs it would have been verified already; especially in light of how quickly the DAT info was verified. Worst case scenario we're wrong and your pleasantly surprised. That's my stance on the issue

[vagusnerve]

i don't think real info will come until tomorrow

man im reading forums everywhere... and everyone is linking this thread to the source that clowney is in town LOL

[Duck07]

One thing I have yet to see us include in this wild rumor of ours is that Chip very well could have visited with Clowney when he visited for Byer's then commitment. There very well could have been a fair amount of contact between UO and Clowney that we just never heard about because it was such a longshot. We know Chip is strong with his visits and really, if he lands Clowney then there is no reason for him to leave here ever if he can grab DaT and JC last minute like this.

Crazy to think about because whenever we've put up "pipe-dream recruit" threads, there's always a few mentions of Clowney, hahaha

[ducklovinlady]

I agree. Tomorrow is do or die on the rumor. the DAT rumors blew up quickly but it also occurred AFTER his visit. Right now, who knows, but I'm not really buying it.

[nogerO]

Holy crap. He looks pretty good. (that was sarcasm). I wonder if he will gain any weight? Would he mold into a dt? Would anyone remember the other guys that Oregon didnt get if they signed him?

If you look at him, he is pretty damn lean for 255. Definitely has the frame to add quite a bit of weight.

I really did think this was just a funny joke until the link. I can't help but still laugh at it though. Just doesn't seem feasible to me I really don't know what i would say if this were to happen. Probably nothing actually, as i would most likely go into cardiac arrest.

I would most likely be changing my underwear!

[headshottzzzz]

There's no way in hell Clowney would care if Byers was here. Just no way. Move along, everyone.
