🏈 Clowney

[jacques]

The odds? Slim I think. Man, I hope I'm wrong....

Read this on another board, take it FWIW:

"South Carolina fans should begin to worry. Momma has given her blessing for him to make the jump out of state. I am still not letting myself get too excited, but I do believe he will end up at Bama."

 

[jacques]

I read on another site: SC 60%, BAMA 20% in landing him. How reputable, I donno - just another of many sites though......

 

[JoshB]

Yeah I had hoped we would get him but I'm pretty confident he stays with SC.

In Saban I trust. Saban be praised.

Praise Saban!!

Clowney sure would be a big prize this recruiting season. On another note, I LOL'd at the above post:

According to reports, Clowney will put off his decision until his birthday, Feb. 14th. He is scheduled to visit 3 more schools, FSU, North Carolina, and LSU.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

I'd be pretty surprised, albeit pleasantly, if we pull him out of South Carolina.

 

[bamabass23]

From my barner friend...

"Jlee from rivals posted that Chizik and crew were going to give Bama an off field ass beating in a couple of weeks."

He said this guy is 95% right in his predictions. I tell him that I am sure if those were about Bama, he wouldnt be agreeing so well.

 

[Swamptick]

Just what does he think Cheeze-it and company are going to do? I know they shell out lots of money, but what exactly was he meaning?

They are going to beat us in recruiting this year. He thinks they are going to steal Cyrus from us and get a visit from Clowney as well.

If they got a visit from Clowney, im sure itd pretty much be negatives on Alabama for 48 hours. Scorched earth is a strategy you know.

http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1178612 According to Rivals, the Barn isn't even in consideration. FSU gets him this weekend, Clemson next weekend, and UNC or LSU the weekend of Feb. 4th or 11th.

Lol - I know. There were 3 other schools involved - 2 at 5% and the other at 10% - I just didn't mention those.....

no way i would ever play for Spurrier, he will quit on his team as soon as they get down, i know when they played the Aubbies the second time this year he gave up in the 3rd quarter and started just running the ball

 

[UAgrad93]

I agree Doe. He has lost alot of that swagger that he possessed in the 90s. I honestly thought that going into the SECCG, SCar would make a serious threat. I had been in contact with Whammy Ward at SCar and they sounded confident. No doubt in my mind that Spurrier mailed it in in the 3rd.

I don't even think our staff is seriously recruiting Clowney. I think we're focused on Drew, Wright, Florence, and Westerman.

I sort of feel like the Coudjano-Auburn marriage is a mutually beneficial sham.

 

[ElephantStomp]

I think our odds of getting Clowney are the same as SC getting him. Rumph really helps us and I think he is the reason we land Clowney. Cyrus comes to us too I am almost for certain. I also think we pick up at least one surprise on NSD either from somebody that nobody thought we were in the hunt for or we steal a recruit from another school (besides Clowney).

i can see some recruits shying away from us this year because of depth but next year we should be wide open.. the 2010 roster had over 30 juniors listed on it..

And on that note, I think it's important to remember that we won the "recruiting national championship" according to rivals in 2008 and '09 and then we were like 2nd or 3rd in '10, so w/ or w/o getting these major guys that we talk about here, there are athletes that have been maturing and developing waiting for a time like next year when they will have a chance to jump onto the scene-- and thats just one of the many things that we have at our advantage going into next years season...
