To All the Hand Wringers and Sunshine Pumpers about RN...

Look....I want this kid as much as you do. We need him. No question. But Dabo and Clemson has rebuilt this program where it sells itself and if RN can choose an armpit of a school like Ole Miss over Clemson then that says more to him than us.....If he was picking Bama or LSU I could see that, but Ole Miss?.....All I can say is good luck if he swings that way.
We don't need to wring out hands and chant joy-joy good tidings to RN....We are Clemson and it is a privilege to play here. It will most definitely be his loss if he doesn't come to Clemson....
Dabo is a good closer....if there is any meat on this bone, he will gnaw it off.....

You've never actually left the state of SC much less been to and visited Ole Miss. You have no clue what you're talking about.

I am really surprised they have ANY black players. Fans still wave confederate flags and use them at their tailgates. I know for most (if not all) it is just tradition but it offends a lot of black people.
As far as the campus itself Ole Miss is beautiful but their traditions are still a little questionable, as is the quality of the education.

Have you? I'm from Memphis (about 40 minutes north of Oxford) and when I was looking at colleges during high school my parents drove me down to Oxford, Mississippi (good luck getting them to even spell their state's name correctly) to visit the campus. A few weeks later, we decided to take a weekend trip to South Carolina where we also visited Clemson and Furman.
At no point during my visit to Ole Miss did I ever feel like this was a place someone would CHOOSE to attend. The individuals who ended up at Ole Miss from my high school were either a) frat boys, b) sorority girls, or c) stupid.
I think this goes without saying, but I decided to go to Furman for undergrad and Clemson for grad school, and I can tell you first hand that Ole Miss is not a place people dream about going to. Clemson on the other hand is.
At this point it's RN's loss not Clemson's, he still has plenty of time though to make the right choice (with or without mommy's approval).

Ole miss may be under the microscope for their recent riot but this kid is from Georgia and he most definitely won't be surprised to see a few Confederate flags flying

I want him. But how many times have we seen a can't miss prospect miss? Or a no name prospect turn into a star?
I would still love to get RK because chances are he will be great. But if Clemson does not sign him, there are other players out there who will help us win.
