re: Damon Clowney

In addition to all the things these other posters are saying, I believe there was quite a bit of smoke throughout the entirety of the recruiting cycle—even after clowney had committed—that he had more or less cut off contact with our staff at some point. Add that on top of the fact that his senior year wasnt that great, the fact that he was probably over ranked due to his name to begin with, and the fact that we had better dudes coming in at his position, and it seems as though we likely made the right call. I’m certainly not a fan of pushing dudes out of a class once they’re committed—I think an offer should typically be a real offer—but if the rumors about his deliberate lack of contact with the staff were true, then I don’t feel particularly bad about this one specific instance.
