Clemson and UNC were dead-locked at that time. So I decided to go down and visit Clemson one last time. While I was there, I saw a whole other side to their program unlike on game day. I knew I had to take back that verbal commitment

I would love to know details of the other side. We call speculate, but I would love to know what he saw.

Shouldn't be a shock to anyone.
They put alot of lipstick on a tater when they show those recruits around. But as we all know it is still a tater.

Think the discretion part was following going to the UNC/Duke Game. They did not want him there evidently.

Interesting young man who is obviously very impressionable.
Josh Low article from early October quotes him saying he is a USC lean. Wonder why we dropped off the list?
Very pleased with how our OL class projects, but just wondering.

players & lambs, absolutely zero to do within an hour of there and you cannot cover up the prima donna attitude of many of their players. You can say a lot about Chapel Hill but it's not a crap hole like Clemson.

This comment is telling as well.
I committed when Clemson beat the Tar Heels. (I feel weird after writing that, coincidence?) I have to admit, it was all out of hype. It’s Clemson, one of the top football programs in the country, one of the best stadiums with loud fans, any recruit would commit after experiencing that. And plus I had a little bit of pressure put on me. So, I pulled the trigger. When I was going back home, I had this dim feeling at the deepest part of my gut that I made a mistake,

That dim feeling is what most people call "common sense."

I get the allure of the campus. the stadium is pretty nice, and the fans can get rowdy just like any other 80,000+ stadium can.
But how in gods name can anyone think this about clemson???? i mean wt absolute f?

Very wise young man. I commend him for seeing through the line of BS that Rev. Dildo & his 9 Deacons usually feed to impressionable young men. And for recognizing Klempsin for the sewer that it is.

I thought the same thing. How can clemsux be looked at as one of the top programs in the country?
It really sounds like the coaches pressure these kids and try to get them caught up in the moment to commit.

When Wofford and the Citadel seem to at least get within 3 tds of us....can you even consider them top 2 team in the state?
