re: Clowney decision "practically made"

This is basically like the Trevor Lacey deal with UK/UA.

He goes to UK if he wants a bigger name. However, he can be ALL-SEC but maybe not all American at UA due to guys from UNC/Duke/Syracuse/Kansas.

Lacey likes 'Bama but it is hard to turn down a better culture then UK basketball.

Clowney likes USC but it is hard to turn down a better culture then UA Football.


ETA: Good luck to whoever gets him.

I live in the great state of South Carolina. I was born in Louisiana and follow LSU football with a passion.

USC fans are passionate about their program. They are just tired of losing. Pinning their hopes on one player that may or may not help them get over the top is typical of all SEC schools.

Clowney, although great in 2 A football, was held in check by Collins at the UA All American game. That said, Clowney will be facing the best O-lines in the country and he will not be as dominate as USC or anyone thinks.

If he goes to Clemson then he could dominate since the ACC is not a strong conference.

In the SEC, he will be good but he will not play like he did on his youtube highlight reel.
