I think he wants to be a defensive end. I vote to keep him happy.

I think the coaches prefer to call him a "versatile" defensive lineman.

If he wants to be a DE end he can be, but he will have to live in the weight room and watch his diet b/c if he don't at 6'4" 280, he will be well over 300 in a short while. Average weight for Pro FB DEs at his height and weight is around 260/270 I think, right?

SlumCoot , unlike that asphalt pothole in Columbia , our recruits can actually read , comprehend what they read and speak on it successfully. The kids Ball Cootch is recruiting are lucky if they can differentiate between Cocoa Puffs and rabbit shat.

He sounds very level headed. He says all the right things. I hope he's mature as he sounds. Would love to have this gent in the family. Go Tigers

Indeed he does! Very impressive, and I especially like the part about him praying about it. His values line up with Dabo, out team and so many of our fans.

Good read. Sounds like he's already part of our class

After spending time with the 2015 commits and seeing the types of prospects that Clemson is bringing in, Huggins knows what a special class he could be a part of.
“They are great. Clemson has been putting in work,” he said. “They are getting set to go to a championship - that's their plan. How does their recruiting class look? That's what they're doing - this 2015 class is a great class. To me, there's never going to be a class like this again. I can't see it. There are so many d-linemen that are coming out of South Carolina that are just beasts. Then we also have the skill players, they're doing a great job, too. The 2015 class, we are ready. Let's go baby. We've got work to put in. This is going to be one of the greatest classes ever.”

I hope it works out to be the greatest TEAM ever, other wise this class ranking won't live up to matching its ranking.

I thought the same at first, but I believe he is referring to the entire 2015 class in general. Not just Clemson's class.

Come on home Mr. Huggins. Best decision you can make for
Jul 24, 2014, 5:12 PM

yourself is to come to Clemson. If we can land Huggins and McCloud, this class has a chance to be very special. Not that this class isn't already, but throw those 2 guys in, and it's two more true play maker's on both sides of the ball.

the part about going out of state and getting hurt and not getting support from the fan/alumni base afterwards.

Reading his quotes makes it sound like Georgia was fun but lacked what he's searching for. Clemson is home, and this is a race for Florida and to show him what we already have. He quotes, "I just want them to be family". He already has that with us, and has been to DV countless times. He's a Tiger lock as long as we continue to show him love. Having a top tier D this year, and everyone remaining healthy won't hurt us one bit.

Not worried about Albert at all.
If we close this class out with Huggins, Settle and Bailey I'll be stoked. Heck we could not get anymore commits and I'd still be stoked.

That might be the heaviest finish to a class in CU history.

I think we are his leader even though

He won't say that publicly. This kid has been visiting us since he was a sophomore and has built good relationships with our staff, players and current commits. I just think it's going to be hard for other schools to build the kind of relationship he has with our staff. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely possible but very slim chance it happens as long as we stay on him. Just factoring in the relationship, the fact that we are losing all of our starters after this season, close to home and the great athletes we have committed to us so far I just don't see him going anywhere else.

Another thing working in favor of a commitment from Huggins is that Georgia has a couple of other DL that are favoring the Dawgs, namely Thompson, who I believe is a top 2 DL in the country. Thompson just named Georgia as his leader. The Dawgs aren't likely working Huggins as hard as Dabo. I don't know if Albert would be an oversign for UGA if they get a commit from Thompson, so watch the Thompson commitment and if he goes Georgia then Albert is definitely a Tiger.

wrong....we just dismiss a RS Soph DL in John Taylor. UGA will sign around 30. We'll take Thompson and Huggins as well as Sweat if we can. We have plenty of room and besides......UGA is his dream offered!
Laffed at dabo's ....."what if you get hurt" line.....Richt has a long history of taking care of his players. Albert has little to worry about in that area of concern.
