"It was nothing that Oregon did or didn't do and it was nothing that Clemson did or didn't do," Byers said. "I'm going out on faith in what God showed me. I'm just following my heart and what God put in me. I know it's the right decision."
If I hear another Clemson commit mention God steering them towards Clemson I'm gonna barf.

God told me to tell you to let it go. Forgive and forget. We'll never hear from him again.
Amen.

I have no idea what logical processes are involved with Byers' decision, but I am pretty sure Ernie Kent got several recruits to come to Oregon because of his reputation as a moral and religious guy (yeah, I get that he didn't always live up to the billing). Non-religious people need to know that this is a huge factor when parents are trying to find a school to send their 18-year-old kid to. There are no atheists in foxholes or on the recruiting trail.

Pretty sure none of you complained when JStew said god told him to go to UO. Besides if god liked Clemson they wouldn't be so dam mediocre and have a slime ball HC.

Byers said the same exact thing when he chose UO.
Clearly he's a pretty religious guy, but I think distance was the ultimate factor. He also grew up a Clemson fan. Can't blame him for wanting to play for his dream school.
Byers seems like a good guy and I wish him the best of luck at Clemson. I think he's going to be a very good DE.

Here is my view on Byers journey....
1. He signed with Oregon where he would have had a good career playing in 4 meaningful bowl games and getting a good education
2. He backed out and signed with Clemson to be closer to home and to play early, play for 4 years and maybe go to a bowl game. And getting a good education.
Best of luck to him. IMO people gotta stop trying to figure out what is goin on inside a 18 year old kids head

Thats mainly who this post is directed at. The guy has a weird name & convinces every recruit that Clemson is where God wants them. Oh & he's a terrible coach.

I want to see how Tajh Boyd does once he is the starter. I remember being so disappointed that we didn't get him.

He said on his Facebook before he switched that he was going to Oregon because God told him. So does he have two gods?

Clemson is a joke academically. Makes UO look like Stanford.

Not true at all. Clemson is a very good school. Clemson is a better school than UO.
Clemson is in the ACC and is better than almost every school in the SEC.
Average GPA: 4.1
Average SAT score: 1221 (as of 2007)
Clemson is a better school than UW and is comparable to Wisconsin academically. It might not be amazing for grad school, but is an outstanding school for undergrads.

I was misinformed and stand corrected.
