F*cking Clemson.

ugh. Tough loss.

Now we really need Simmons/Heyward.

This sucks, but it doesn't really shock me too much. I had a feeling Clemson would swoop in at the last minute. We'll be alright.

Please people...don't be like the USC boards here with the recommit

Damn, he sounded pretty solid last week. Freakin Dabo, can't stand that guy.

not too surprising but still really stings. i think this guy could have had a real impact on the d-line.

Clemson = The nation's most consistent underachiever. Still, can't blame the kid too much for staying close to home.

I'm starting to think we should recruit sumo wrestlers for the DT position. Leverage, excellent footwork, agility, strength are all there. I dont know how fast they'd be, but the rest of the skill set seems like it would lend itself to being a good DT or DE. And salt is cheap.

Chip Kelly will probably never attend an announcement again.

Isn't that the truth...I thought thius guy was solid with us, CRAP!

So are we now in the market for a Bluto Blutarsky from Faber type of DT?

I understand this is a big decision for these kids to make, but come on! 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?

Hahaha i will never understand Clemson. Always mediocre, yet pulls top recruits.

He wanted to reserve a spot in this class in case things filled up and he didnt get an offer from Clemson. I would have done the same thing.
