Robert Nkemdiche: Clemson is “done deal” if they offer another Grayson teammate | AJC College Sports Recruiting

Dude is shamelessly pimpin himself out and making vague statements about hard and soft his commitment is to Clemson. Dabo has pulled offers for recruits taking other visits ... Wonder what he'll do here? My guess? He'll offer the safety like the hypocrite at he is .. Some of this article is laughable

The bigger question may be what Dabo will do if/when Nkemdiche takes that visit to Ole Miss in the fall...

LOL @ Clemson building a HS football team.

my guess ... not a damned thing ... but if he stood by his mantra, i would be impressed. for dabo's credibility's sake, he'd better hope he doesn't.

Wow. I can't believe Nkemdiche went public with something like that. But Dabo will still offer the Carter kid.

Dabo's getting extorted...

What a bunch of hot air; the morons on 107.5 the game brought this up today. Wayne Gallman is a consensus 4 star RB that could've gone anwhere; Kamara had multiple offers from top tier schools. The kid from Mrs. State has said he wanted to be closer to home, and enrolled early this summer; he is going to basically give up a scholarship to walk on. Since he has enrolled and accepted financial aid, this renders him unable to receive any sort of aid for the academic year (meaning he'll be paying his own way). Nkemdiche should've kept his mouth shut, but considering he's a 17 year old kid, he doesn't really have the wherewithal to know any better. I'd be throwing my weight around too if I were the number one overall recruit if it gave my buddy a shot at a major D1 scholarship.

You coots can dream all you want, but it's just a slow day in the media and they've literally run out of things to talk about if this is making headlines

What Jay Phillips and Michael Haney say is scripture.

The bold is the story, and it's significant, as it does look like the kid is setting up a soft-extortion package deal. Of course there's always networking among local high school athletes. Gilmore and Devonte Holloman worked Clowney at South Pointe to go Gamecock, for example. We offered one of Clowney's teammates (one of the Dixon brothers - I get 'em confused). But you didn't hear Marcus Lattimore going to the media and saying he would come to USC if we offered his friend Nick Jones.

Nkemdiche's action, and Dabo's soon-to-be offer reflect poorly on the institution.

Maybe the mudslingers should do a little research before they completely trash the hypothetical offer; if Ellis Johnson found it appropriate to offer the kid, I'm pretty sure he'll have some more major D1 offers before he NSD.

Here's a link to Ryan Carter's current offer list: Ryan Carter - Yahoo! Sports

 

[Ballboy534]

(a) G. A. Mangus was the recruiter on Nkemdiche.
(b) Even if it had been Ellis Johnson, I doubt the kid would have gone to Southern Miss. Our DC is now Lorenzo Ward.

Considering Mr. Carter currently holds an offer from Southern Miss, I would have to disagree, sir.

EDIT: In before the edit/delete

I deleted the post - I thought you were talking about Nkemdiche. But here is So. Miss's current commit list - 3 unrateds and a 2-star.

I have heard conflicting reports on the athletic ability of Ryan Carter; the Grayson coach is claiming he can run a 4.2, but I have yet to see or hear anything else that substantiates that claim. We'll just have to wait and see how things play out; the kid could turn out to a big sleeper. Lots of kids don't pop up on the radar until their senior year, and with playing at the same school as the top DE and a coveted RB, it would be fairly easy to get overlooked.

Besides, if Ellis Johnson sees fit to extend an offer, the kid can't be a complete slouch.

THe story is that Dabo has basically pulled offers for less ... He's a fucking hypocrite
.. Period ... Not to say that he'd be wrong to offer the scrub but it is what it is. His blue chip should've handled this behind closed doors and it's pretty obvious to me that he's a SOFT commit

Not that I'm a huge Dabo fan but why does this ruffle your feathers?
