Alvin Kamara is out
Jul 24, 2012, 11:36 AM
|
|
(via ESPN Insider) "Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney will be spared the potential embarrassment of mixing up recruits Alvin Kamara (Norcross, Ga./Norcross) and David Kamara (Loganville, Ga./Grayson). One is committed to the Tigers, while the other is no longer considering the program as one of his destinations.
"Clemson is out for me," Alvin Kamara told Chad Simmons of Scout.com. "I just did not get a good vibe there and it is not for me. It is a nice school, but they are out of it for me now."
The schools still in the conversation for the nation's No. 5 running back recruit include: Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Auburn, Florida State, USC and Vanderbilt. Georgia and Alabama would be considered the favorites at this juncture, but Kamara has yet to officially narrow his list of schools."
Now we can focus on Green even though I think we are good with Dye and Gallman.

"They are out of it for me... mostly because a second RB committed and coach swinney called me and said they are no longer recruiting me and I didn't get a good vibe from being no longer recruited so they are out for me."

Dabo Swinney: Alvin, I'm sorry but I told you back in the spring that we were recruiting four running backs and that I planned to take two. I've got two commitments now.
Alvin Kamara: Coach, I'm not getting a good vibe about this. Are you saying I don't have an offer now?
Dabo: Yes, I believe that is what I'm saying.
Alvin: In that case, I'm no longer considering your school. Clemson is officially out of the running for my services.
Dabo: Good Luck, Alvin. You're going to make a great college running back for someone.

accept Green's commitment if he wanted to come but i'd imagine our main focus is Fuller, Adams, North and some of these OL's.

I respect the kid and would have loved to have him at Clemson but I don't know why he couldn't just come out and say we are full.

Maybe Dabo said it too, I just didn't see it and can't find where he did. If anybody has a link it would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think you say no to the #1 RB in the country if he's interested though.

Is your name Dabo?

When Wayne Gallman committed in APRIL, I'm sure we told him we'd only take 1 other running back. After that, in MAY, Mike Bellamy didn't do well enough on his finals to be academically eligible, and elected to leave the team.
If we were planning to take 2 RBs, and then one RB left the team, wouldn't it make sense for us to change our plans and take 3 RBs?

This is the quote from Green about what Dabo told him
Jul 24, 2012, 12:23 PM
|
|
A quote from Green about what Dabo said on July 12th was
"He said they have 1 running back 2013 commited and 2 running backs commited for 2014 so hes only taking 1 more running back. He said they are looking at a few other guys and and he cant stop recruiting them to wait for me. He said they are only taking 1 more back this year and who ever hops on next will be it."

[ in reply to Not sure why its hard for people to understand. We are DONE ] |

that would be questioned.
If it was reported exclusively on TI, a lot of people aren't gonna see it, as a lot of us aren't TI subscribers. I've Googled and searched all over and can't find where Dabo said that.
Also, it's hard to fathom, even considering our limited number of scholarships this year, that we'd turn down the #1 RB recruit in the country.
Maybe Dabo did say that, and by no means am I saying he didn't. I just know from experience how things get reported and subsequently accepted as fact on here when there is no truth to them at all.
