Palmetto Proving Grounds

Did I mention any of those traits. I guess you can't read.

It's one thing to have kids with helicopter parents. It's a completely different ball game to have kids with helicopter parents who have a media outlet for airing their grievances.

I never listen as I'm out of state, but regardless of his opinions, he doesn't appear to have a track record of discretion.

This, from all reports, his son is a great player. We would all take Corey Miller again in a heartbeat, the quality of player he was. He speaks his mind, as do many on this board, so what.

I say we go after Christian hard. We can always use a great linebacker.

we're a bunch of nonprofit nincompoops on a message board that you have to pay to read.

he's on a public access radio station with nearly statewide coverage and is paid for his comments.

Maybe I am stupid but I cannot find that article.

I will be straight up pissed if we don't sign him. A great Alum's kid should be a shoe in. His dad is a big Gamecock, so the kid probably grew up pulling for us too. I think we will get him. If we don't, I would normally think that that was a very bad sign regarding the state of our program. But, we all know we are doing things right, right now. Its kind of like when we passed on the lineman from Spring Valley that ended up at Clemson. A lot of people thought we were screwing up. It was the right move. This one has a long time to play out. Miller is just pumped that he got an offer.

Ive only met him a few times and I had no problems with him. I never listen to him though. Im sure you guys that do know better than me. I still want ot sign his son.

We were right passing on Cloy he sucked. Fisher from Vandy ended up being better.

Here's the story I read.

Corey said the South Carolina staff may be taking Christian’s connection to the Gamecocks for granted.

“I think they took the wrong approach,” Corey said. “They haven’t really been that fired up about him like Brent has. For a 15-year-old kid, that makes sense. I told him I’ll put orange on 11 or 12 times a year, counting a bowl. It’s just the last one in the regular season that I couldn’t do it. That one game I couldn’t do it. I’d have to wear a mixed bag or something.”

Personally, I'm not pissing on him but his quotes in the article above was sure complimentary to Clemson. He has ragged Clemson and their coaches so many times on his show and has stated that the ACC was nothing more than a glorified high school league, it's just surprising to me he said some of what he did. I think it's best he try and stay more neutral that's all.

Everyone needs to grow up. Christian is gonna be a stud linebacker and last time I checked we are gonna need a few of those here shortly. It seems everyone could put aside their petty differences with the kids father, who by the way is payed to speak his mind which isn't always roses and sunshine for what could be the betterment of our program. Clemson is outworking us right now so we need to step it up. I listened to Corey's interview on the radio tonight and you can tell he's excited for his son as any father should be but make no mistake about it he still bleeds garnet and black and I'm sure he'd love to see his son as a Gamecock in the near future.

Guys there's a reason we havent offered yet with his dad a former player and the kid playing in Columbia. Heck for two weeks its been out Clemson was offering at camp. The term helicopter dad was brought up and I agree. The guy has used his radio platform to get the Spring Valley coach fired, bash our basketball coach/program relentlessly and spread false reports about Alshon getting arested and probably hurt his draft stock. All we need is him complaining 3-6 mon-fri about player X playing over his son, questioning the coaches or whatever.

I should have added his sons recruiter was his position coach and he was on TI questioning our staff. The same staff that has us playing at and recruiting at the highest level ever.

He would really be pissed if Matt Rolin started over his son.
