Clements off the board?

Not yet per say but an article makes it very hard to believe otherwise. Really wanted an FSU offer and now he's got it.

Honestly it would be a shock upon shocks if this guy escapes FSU, Miami, and Georgia.

considering he has an offer in hand and considered paying his own way to visit I'd say he was on the board. Now were we his #1 choice at the start or ever? No. Anyways hopefully he waits, visits, and then we'll see after that.
FWIW Bryce Brown was not considered on the board as of last year also.........

Never say never...while I do believe our chances are slim (with certain players) signing day is a long ways off and a lot can happen!

He never had an Oregon offer in hand.
That doesn't mean we weren't looking at him and vice versa

Clements is directly quoted as saying Oregon offered him. Do you have reason to believe he is making that up? Looking at his offer list, it doesn't take a big leap of faith to think Oregon might have offered him along with several other big-name programs that already have.

Scout says he has no offer, Rivals does. I guess pick which one you feel is most accurate. Unless you are Clements himself, his dad, or CK, then duckyfan I'm inclined to believe he has one.

Either way, fortunately we have so many options out of California that this is/would not be a complete loss although the kid is talented. Sounds like it's FSU or Georgia for him.
