A kid from Tennessee who we recruited until he committed to ECU, I think. later transferred to Central Florida then to A&M. Had he not decided to go elsewhere we might not have landed ETN. Funny how things work out.

Yes it is amazing how we got etn at the last minute so to speak. However, Cordarrian didn't "decide" to go elsewhere. There was an unfortunate grading scandal at his high school. I hope everything has worked out ok for him, I really thought it was a sad situation for him.

grades, but just don't remember the details. It may well have been something out of his hands. Anyhow, I do remember wishing we would have landed one of those bid BAMA backs instead of that little back from Louisiana. Guess I was "kinda" wrong on that one.

He flipped from Maryland on NSD, after it was announced Maryland on ESPN, then it switched a few hours later to UCF. Not sure what that high school did. Seems like it is the same high school that all the TN/AL trouble from the 1990's came from as well.

Cordarrian Richardson - His High School was caught in a huge scandal of falsifying transcripts. I talked to his coaches and watched him play a couple of times in high school. His coaches had nothing but praise for the young man and how he would fit the Clemson Culture. It was a shame that his High School was so corrupted but if you spent some time in Memphis you would understand the environment is toxic in some locations.
When I saw that he was allowed to enroll in UCF it told me all that I need to know about that program. They can get kids in school that would not be allowed to enter into an ACC or SEC school without first going through a junior college.

To Reynolds -- you might want to check your facts before degrading UCF. My grandson and granddaughter both attend UCF. He is finishing his Masters next month and I can tell you the academic requirements are very high. Academically, that school is rated extremely high.
Have a blessed day!

Where did I discredit the academics of UCF? I happen to like the University and my neighbor in Lake County is a recent graduate. CR should not have been able to get into D1 school with his eligibility issues. UCF may have the athletic/academic ethics of UNC. That's what i meant.

You have no idea what athletics/academics are like for schools like them. There standards are way lower than ACC/big 10 etc..

Also glad Cordarrian found a landing spot. It really seemed that his high school almost ruined his opportunity.
