bama and clemson are the 2 that worry me on there, moreso than the others.

so I just tweeted @GCfootball and asked "who leads for Stefon Colbert and Dorian O'Daniel?"...his response "Colbert no longer plays football...just track...Dorian has no favs at this point".....had not heard that about Colbert, strange considering he had offers from VT and Auburn..must've been injury related (just my guess)..felt good about landing him too

 

[ImAHokie]

I believe the latest on Colbert was that he didn't have one from VT after all. I've always doubted the authenticity of the Auburn one as well.

That is weird, though. He's a VT legacy.

 

[Hokie Swagger]

yeah, that is a pretty odd situation when a D1 football athlete suddenly stops playing football before his senior year...hmm...

 

[jermadams]

i remember seeing on rivals he had a VT and Auburn offer...this site says he does too...oh well guess it doesn't matter either way lol

Recruiting Inventory: Wide Receivers

damn! we cant lose Kendall! and how is colbert looking for track schools? Maybe we can sign him. he's fast, and it couldnt hurt with the other GC boys. Our track team is one of the best in the nation, and certainly geographically relative to the baltimore area. i will say it again, these guys are program changers. The elite talent that will put us over the top to bring the Waterford to Merryman.

Colbert did not have an offer, it was misrepresented that he did

Clemson more than Bama...

This recruiting stuff can be quite the headache.

yeah, he said clemson stood out to him a few months back in an interview. however, if bama goes hard for a guy, as we have seen, they are always a threat.

Im just hopeful the Fuller family has been through the process enough to know how to wade through the bullshit.

 

[ImAHokie]

His parents, especially mom, are very much in VT's corner.

He's already sold big time on VT, he's basically looking elsewhere just to make sure VT is where he wants to go. I think the reason you hear from him that the family isn't pushing him to VT is because there doesn't need to be any pushing, he already loves VT.

Think of this like Tyrod's recruitment only VT is an even bigger lean with Fuller.

good to know .. if that's the case, would be great if he "makes sure" early and goes ahead and commits early ... it would help a lot with the rest of the class ... i'll just be happy to get him

i've asked before and i'll ask again ... what the hell is SOOO special about clemson that would draw kids to play there so much? i know there's some tradition but still

I have been to Clemson plenty of times...

Death Valley is not the greatest stadium but it is alright. They do have some nice facilities and a pretty campus. The main thing that is attracting people to Clemson now is their previous recruiting classes. We have seen that people want to come to VT to play with Logan and then JC gets in their ear, Clemson is the same way. People want to play with Boyd and Watkins.

They will continue to have good classes for a few years but then it will go down again, very cylindrical

Sometimes, a big star will keep their recruitment open because he's taking trips with teammates to help them get offers. For example, I suspect that was the case with Marquise Williams and Kevin Asante. After making Tech think he was really interested, Williams ended up signing with UNC, but Asante, who had no other offers, signed with Tech.

Whether we like it or not, Clemson does have solid appeal to a recruit, but I suspect more happens behind the scenes and under the table to make sure recruits feel "wanted". Use your imagination...nothing is out of the realm of possibility.

My guess is that the warm weather and a greater number of (attractive) women help Clemson bring in recruits. If a recruit will choose one school over another because of the perceived lack of Chick Fil a, I can only assume that hotter girls could sway a player as well.
