David Cornwell, Deshaun Watson, Brandon Harris, Jacob Park, and Kendrick Doss are among our top QBs. As of right now, Doss may be the only one that would commit. It'll be interesting to see how the QB situation unfolds

we'll sign one... he may be more of a project than in year's past, but we'll definitely take one.

Harris is the one that stings at the moment, but we'll have to see it play out. LSU has exactly experienced awesome QB play of late.

quote:

Has anything changed after Gainesville was bombarded with college coaches over the last few weeks? On Friday, Watson simply said that he’s “100-percent committed” to Clemson and that he “hasn’t really been thinking about recruiting” because he was consumed with his team’s spring workouts which ended on Friday.

However, Watson does have a shortlist of “fallback schools” in case the circumstances change at Clemson. “For me, it would be Auburn, Georgia, Ohio State, Alabama, USC and Oregon,” he said.

Watson seems to be a pretty safe bet to sign with Clemson in February unless something unusual happens. You never know in college football (see Auburn, two years after winning a national title). The two closest contenders would probably be Ohio State and Auburn, with UGA listed as the darkhorse candidate.


quote:

Auburn may be the non-Clemson school that is charging the hardest after Watson. New offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee stopped by Gainesville last week, and is trying to build a relationship with Watson. What’s Auburn sales pitch? Do they think he can be another Cam Newton? ““It’s the same as the other schools,” Watson said. “They want me to come down and visit, if I ever get the chance. But they are going to keep on recruiting me (until signing day). It’s the same thing the other coaches have said. ‘If anything ever happens with Clemson, they want to be behind.’” Lashlee is desperately trying to get Watson to attend Auburn’s “Big Cat” recruiting weekend in two weeks. “I’m not sure yet; I haven’t really been thinking about that,” Watson said.


quote:

Clemson is reportedly “a little nervous” about other colleges visiting Gainesville over the last month, but what can they really say or do about it? The Tigers are pursuing elite prospects committed to other colleges, too. This is just normal business in the wacky world of recruiting. The all-out pursuit for the franchise quarterback will go until signing day.


It would be effin' AWESOME if Auburn could get Watson down to BCW.

How the hell do you guys have the time or energy to keep up with recruiting like this? Not knocking y'all, just curious.

I used to get more involved, but my delving into recruiting news has dropped significantly.

I didn't really keep up with it as much during the semester, but now that school is out and I'm back home and still haven't found a job, I have a good amount of free time

If so, who?
We are taking 1 and to the best of my knowledge the main targets at the moment are

Deshaun Watson (Clemson, flipable if Chad Morris leaves for a HC job. Auburn will stay on him to the end.)
Brandon Harris
Jacob Park
Drew Barker (Kentucky, flipable)
Malik Rosier
Kendrick Doss
Matthew Jordan

Another one to keep an eye on is Tyler Harris.

Also even though Cornwell is not committed he is more of a Bama lock IMO than Deshaun Watson is with Clemson.

You should see if there are still any engineering internships out there. All my friends in Engineering make 10-15k$ per summer doing internships.


What are you thinking of transferring into?

I have one friend my age doing one, but besides him, most of the internships seem to be aimed towards older students.

It's too late to do it now, but if you're going to stay in engineering, I suggest co-oping as soon as you can.
