You're Correct

Personally, I'm not "mad" when an 18 year old kid can't make up his mind. However, RN's mom who lives 1/2 a world a way comes here and changes his mind. That's what makes me "mad". It's not the kid who can't make up his mind.... it's the parent who ignores their kids point of view.
As for Kamara, couldn't care less. Any offer he gets is because of RN. He's a small time talent and his name is only known because of RN.

Kamara is scholarship worthy
Nov 20, 2012, 9:43 AM
|
|
but the reason he is getting "BCS" offers is because of the RN connection. He'd get a free ride to a school even if he never met the #1 recruit in the country.
But his list of schools would probably be Kentucky, East Carolina, Memphis and Southern Miss.

as with youth, his decision might be based too much on what his HS teammates are doing. But when they get to the University, and he gets dialed in, everything is going to change for him.
Kamara should step up and be a leader with his decision. Maybe RN needs to follow him, not the other way around.

Very true! We aren't saving a scholly for him especially if we can get Alexander and Williams. He will get left out quickly.

but now I realize you're completely deluded. Dabo pulls scholarships from players like E. Daniel who aren't up front when they take visits to other schools or are otherwise dishonest. Kamara has clearly been in communication with the staff and made his intentions clear. There are no hard feelings between the Clemson staff and Kamara or Nkemdiche, because both have been open and honest with them, and both are still open to the possibility of Clemson despite the social media backlash some members of our fanbase have spewed their way.

Well said. The negativity on this site and other blogs regarding these young men and the difficult decisions they have to make are counterproductive and unworthy.

What is wrong with you people. There is no excuse for treating a young man considering Clemson as a student athlete like this. This is not the way Clemson Men behave. We treat everyone well and if they reject us, we continue to treat them well. That's who we are.

I'm sorry - but I don't understand this move. I think this kid seriously screwed himself as we would have honored his scholly, but I'm pretty sure he's outside looking in now. He realized that he stepped in poop a little too late. He would have to be incredible for me to get excited over someone like this. I like recruits that want to be TIGERS. This place is special, and should be treated that way. IMO - he disrespected CLEMSON and what we stand for.

There is one who is claiming to be a tiger on his twitter and calling him overrated and just pathetic. Saying Tiger Nation doesn't want you. I replied that yes we do and if we didn't Dabo wouldn't be recruiting you. To not listen to stupid fans who claim to be Clemson, cause a few idiots don't answer for the majority

take a step back and realize that this is a young kid making a tough decision and stop belittling him because he's having a hard time deciding.

Nov 20, 2012, 9:38 AM

we get them.
The problem for Kamara is that he isn't "oversign worthy." He's rolling the dice a little that other schools don't fill up their classes. I've always said that a recruit should take all their visits. But a player of Kamara's quality probably can't afford to wait until signing day if he's looking for a top flight BCS program.
He's going to be a solid football player, but I doubt too many schools will "hold" a scholarship for him for a last day press conference.

Obviously his recruitment is ONLY relevant because of Nkemdi
Nov 20, 2012, 2:06 PM

Are these the type of values we want to represent OUR Tiger Nation?! This kid is obviously a target because of his relationship with Nkemdiche. Is it worth one of our precious 85 scholarships just to pull Robert out of his flip-flopping? This kid has already broken his word, and seems to be the type of person that could potentially poison everyone around him. I say we should not recruit Kamara based on Nkemdiche's wants. If he truly is worthy of being recruited, so be it. But, all I see is a Nkemdiche parrot!
