Another die hard Clemson fan commits to coots in baseball
Jan 21, 2015, 12:04 PM
|
|
Jake Wright a junior from Chester SC, lifetime die hard Tiger from a die hard Tiger family has committed to play baseball at SC. He is a lefty pitcher/fielder prospect, great student and has attended many of Leggett's camps as well as many football games with his dad/family. I'm guessing that Leggett / LeCroy did not offer which is puzzling that he would be good enough for USC and not Clemson. Maybe Leggett and LeCroy could get him to de-commit and switch to us like Fields did.

maybe USuC offered him a bigger chunk of a scholarship? financial considerations often come into play with baseball players since none of them get a truly full scholarship

That kid played varsity as a 7th grader if I'm thinking about the same kid.
Seems like ole legget is more concerned with northern kids and kids from around Augusta that kids in our backyard

Clemson will offer so dont worry about this and for the northern recruiting myth usc has more on their roster from virginia on up north and if you stop and think clemson never gives out offers before junior seasons

if we'd waited until Deshaun Watson was a JR in high school to offer he probably would've gone somewhere else.

Sounds like he went to a camp at usuck and did well and they offered . Think he jump all over his first D1 offer which is okay but plenty of time for Clemson to get him back . If he has gone to the Clemson baseball camps and did well then the coaches know who he is .

Just because he was a fan of Clemson doesn't mean that's
Jan 21, 2015, 12:54 PM

where he should go to college. Sounds like he liked us growing up, but when it comes time to choose a school that offers him the best opportunity to develop into an MLB player, he went with the school that has the better program. Obviously I love Clemson, but if I was a high school player trying to make the MLB, I would go to South Carolina over Clemson.

matters more how the program is doing now than how it was 20 years ago. And I would say South Carolina has had a better baseball program for a while now.

it's much easier to qualify for academic scholarship money at the Columbia downtown daycare. Add that to whatever fraction of a scholarship they're getting for baseball, and it's probably a no-brainer for some of these kids.

Jake is a jr this year. This a good Kid from a good family. His family has devoted a lot of time and money into his young career. His was in Columbia a few weeks ago and had an impressive showing. Including going deep a few times. He has had interest from UNC plus a few others but jack hasn't seemed to get the memo yet. Kinda sad being he's been to several camps in Clemson.

kind of a slight difference in interest and offers. the kid is a junior. we rarely offer kids that havent even played a game their junior year. if he and his family are clemson fans and he has a good year an offer still may come his way. let me guess you are one that thinks jack just recruits yankees.

Jan 21, 2015, 4:24 PM
|
|
but either they weren't offered, they got better offers from Sakerlina, or they thought going there gave them a better chance to get to the big leagues.
If they're beating us with mostly players we didn't want as badly as they did, that's a major problem.

You know who broke his dad's heart and went Chicken Salad on us a few years ago...
It's crazy that 25 years ago when Ray Tanner was at NC State, he was the most hated man in NC when it comes to baseball--from players, to parents, to HS coaches. Push the clock forward to the late '90s & '00s and he is the guy who scoops up all the players from the state of SC. Looks like Tanner figured something out that Leggett can't do for himself.

Agreed! As long as JL is coach , I can't blame any player for not wanting to come to Clemson. If Drad had had the balls to do something,the arrogant JL would have been fired already .

I know what I am saying and its shared by a lot of fans. This program has slipped badly under JL and you know it. Last year was a dismal failure. Recruiting was not near as good as in the past. If this season is just as bad as last year or worse , how can you defend JL ?

[ in reply to scholly or not, he can't be too diehard of a fan to go to ] |

is the % of a schollie they are offering, what other financial aid packages are available, and the cost of tuition elsewhere. Just because each school is offering the same percentage of a scholarship it could still cost the player more money to select school B over school A.
