at these recruits speaking to what their school would/wouldn't do for a recruit....if they only knew.
It's all a matter of perspective right? Yeah, they're calling him a doosh and I'd be pissed if I were a Clemson recruit. It could lead to a divide in the locker room. However, this is what CFB is turning into and they are part of that system. I know it's human nature for us to get on our high horses when we see this behavior, but the reality is, the coaches at these places probably really don't have an issue with it. They know the business of college football. The nativity in these kids is pretty obvious.I think the telling part is other recruits calling him out as a doosh basically. Imagine what current Clemson players think.:
I know it happens to a degree....but I'm not sure I agree with the bolded in this case. I can only go by what I know....but coaches have turned down package deals for 1 spot in the past...let alone 3.We'll see I guess. There are some in the media speculating that this may push Nkemdiche to a school like Ole Miss. The kid called 'the best recruit from the south since Bo Jackson' going to Ole Miss? If something like that happens...than coaches have a gigantic issue with it.It's all a matter of perspective right? Yeah, they're calling him a doosh and I'd be pissed if I were a Clemson recruit.

Of course they turn them down if they don't meet the need, but I assure you they'd jump all over it if say two of the three were atop their board. They'd figure out a way to squeeze the unwanted one out. And I agree 100% that this cold blow up in his face. He's already shown his hand IMO and the dealer hasn't dealt all the cards yet. I can see this kid getting labeled a cancer very easily. If the others in the "package" aren't outweighing the potential of a problem, he won't be around.I know it happens to a degree....but I'm not sure I agree with the bolded in this case.

He's taking what has been a backdoor handshake deal and cranking it up 3 notches and throwing it out for the world to see. This could blow up in his face in so many ways.

These kids don't have the chest to become leaders.
If Schuessler was my son, I'd lose it.
Was reading a bit on 247...lots of back tracking going on. I'm with you and I'd be pissed if I were his buddies. It's one thing to screw with your own future, it's another to screw with other's
Well, that's a nice surprise. wde
Not much of a surprise...he transferred to Auburn High for his senior year a few months ago.
I was listening to the CEO guy from 247 on XM radio on Monday and I thought he said they only used the composite score to rank the overall class, not individuals.
Gotcha...that makes sense.
If they only got Quick, Mitchell and Johnson, I would whistle 'For He's a Jolly good Fellow' out my ###.
I've been seeing the opposite including the ticker on ESPN right now. It's saying he's decommitted from Alabama and is enrolling early at Florida STATE....not Florida.

The lead shrinks.

Is he still dragging his posse around and stipulating their acceptance as well? I haven't followed him after I learned of his dealings with Clemson. He's trouble looking for a place to happen IMO.I don't know, there is plenty of that up there.

I don't follow this as closely as others so I definitely could have missed something but didn't he commit to OU? Surely there isn't another Hatari Byrd...
A commitment by these kids means absolutely nothing. Until they have signed, they are all open for recruitment.
Yes. That post was from July and pretty much everyone was shocked by the commitment to OU over UCLA, including his HS coaches and teammates.
Right, was just wondering if I missed his decommittment from OU or some other development. Hadn't heard anything about him having doubts or anything like that from the OU sites.
I don't know who he is so the name or school didn't register. I didn't notice the date of the original post, so it was more a commentary on guys flipping commitments or decommitting during the season.
I think he sticks. Most thought he was choosing UCLA when he picked OU and then it came out that he liked the atmosphere at OU better (he's from the central valley of California, which is rural). From what I know, UCLA hasn't been actively recruiting him and feel comfortable about getting commitments from some other similar highly rated DBs, including Priest Willis, Tahaan Goodman, Johnny Johnson (same HS as Byrd), and maybe Tyler Foreman.Byrd is really good. UCLA fans were pretty upset he picked OU over UCLA.
With OU's pathetic secondary he'll start from day 1 if he's good enough.
Thats what people are saying...Its either them or Auburn imo.And with the way UM is stacking their OL, he could be a beast...
If you ask him...yes. It's been that way for several months, but it's an 18 year old kid so the official answer probably should be
