Yeah, if we got him we would be the #1 class

I think it's a good thing for our so called state rival to improve. Better USuC than some others. A smart move for him to save wear and tear on his body as won't be playing those extra post season games.

Shoot if it was up to me u of 6c would lose every game from now until the end of time.

And if the laws of physics would allow, when coots and dogs played, both would lose...

Murphy and Bresee in this class among others. He was never coming to Clemson. No matter how hard we tried. He seemed aloof at the cookout. His body language said it all.

I think its his personality. He seems to be a pretty shy kid. Probably why he wants to stay close to home and family. I think he's probably a really good kid. Just not ready to leave the nest. Even his announcement he seemed nervous people were watching him and wanted it to be over with.

At least he didn't go to a rival school


Dec 18, 2019, 2:42 PM

Imagine him at UGA or Bama.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We did not miss. Don't think we ever took a real swing.


Dec 18, 2019, 2:43 PM

If anything, he missed by never taking an official visit.

Lol. Don’t kid yourself. I guarantee you Dabo did everything he could to get him to clemson. He just didn’t want to be a tiger. We will be just fine.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You have to at least try on top in-state guys. No choice.


Dec 18, 2019, 3:00 PM

But when you’re getting the top guys in the nation, the need to go overboard for a home state guy decreases dramatically.

Burch is where he needs to be and so is Clemson.

badge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We want a lot of players every year that go elsewhere.

I bet we get a higher % of our top targets than almost anybody else out there, however. I'm sure we wanted Burch, don't see how he was a miss when we were never really in it.

Not a miss at all actually.

Re: Big miss on Burch.


Dec 18, 2019, 2:47 PM

I was not the least bit upset, as I always saw him as another player in a five or six player rotation at DE. As we saw with XT, it takes a while to get your feet on the ground and develop into a great DE. Almost all of our best DEs, like some of our better LBs, did not really stand out until their junior or even senior year. We develop players, and in my opinion Burch needs a lot of development. I'm not convinced that he will get it at Scar. If that was really his choice, then that is where he needs to be.

Re: Big miss on Burch.


Dec 18, 2019, 2:54 PM

He probably made a smart decision in picking the Gamecocks since he assumes he will be starting next year. However, we thought Pickens would too. He could have had the same opportunity at Georgia which has a much better core of players and badly needs an outside pass rush. As loyal Tiger fan, I wish him the best.

Re: Big miss on Burch.

Pickens was solid though. He will be a good one for them.

We don't know yet if it was a big mess. Time will tell.

IMO, Bresee and Murphy are better.

How has it worked out for players choosing the chickens? If he can't read the tea leaves . . .don't want him.

Re: Big miss on Burch.


Dec 18, 2019, 6:24 PM

I disagree. If a kid doesn’t want to be at Clemson like Flowe didn’t want to be a Tiger that’s 100% fine. I want the guys who come to Clemson be 100% ALL IN. If a guy doesn’t chose Clemson it’s okay. Clemson was here before them and Clemson will be here after them. I’d be willing to bet Chump told him he’d start immediately. Things at u of 6c will continue like they have have since Chump has been there. They will lose kids, will transfer, and the fans will call for chumps firing. Good news is it won’t happen until Tanner gets canned too.

I have my doubts. Hammond HS


Dec 18, 2019, 7:44 PM

I’ve never seen the young man play and wish him the best except when / if he plays against Clemson. I just have not seen a ton of elite talent come out of Columbia area high schools, much less Hammond. He might be one, but call me skeptical
