Why? We have 6 DBs committed. Two much higher recruits.. At least 2 others in the same ballpark. The other two committed early.

Why you ask?

Because he is a Clemson priority. And in BIg Orange Tran's eyes, that automatically makes this kid better than anyone else we have committed to us🙄

Because even with us having 2 blue chip CBs committed we’re in no position to turn away a 6’2 corner that Bama, Clemson, and Florida wanted. We only signed 2 last year and Williams has apparently been a big disappointment in camp and Harrison wasn’t exactly looked at as a blue chipper out of HS. We need all of the quality experience on defense that we get for when Nico is in his 2nd and 3rd year on campus not only to have talent on the field but also to help competition within the program. He looks every bit as good as Matthews and Gibson and far better than Conyer. This staff had him as their top corner prospect for a reason

We have 3 CBs committed.
3..Not 2. Three Cornerbacks (Conyer, Gibson, Matthews)

Williams is a disappointment in what way?
He's in the mix for 2nd team CB and 1st team kick and punt returner.

What does it matter if Harrison wasn't viewed as blue chip out of high school???
He's on campus now!

You're not mentioning any of their skillsets.

He pretty much hates on every player we sign.

Ignore him.

Conyer is a nickel not an outside corner. As far as Williams goes have you read any of the reports from around the program regarding him? He wasn’t very good at all during the spring. Sure coaches have said he has improved some, but he got absolutely obliterated by Tim Banks in a scrimmage the other day for his play. Also if he’s just “in the mix for 2nd team CB” with this roster as a junior that should tell you all you need to know about his performance since arriving on campus. Most including myself expected him to compete for the starting job, and his contributions on special teams are irrelevant to the quality depth we have at corner. As far as Harrison goes I’m not sure why you assume just because this staff took him and he’s on campus that it automatically means he’s going to all of a sudden make a huge jump. Do you really think his dad who was an All Pro Safety hasn’t had just as good if not better guys developing him his entire football career? My point is we currently only have 2 corners on the roster that could even be here by Nico’s 2nd year on campus and that’s Christian Charles and Christian Harrison. Therefore if Strozier wanted to play here it would be stupid to turn him away unless we already had a transfer lined up. We’re currently in no position to turn away a talent like Strozier

This is the only thing you said that was legit.
Yes we need as much talent as we can get.

No we don’t have 2 much higher recruits at DB. Yes Matthew’s is higher rated but Strozier is ranked higher than Gibson. But that’s not the point. He is a 6’2 CB who plays good HS competition in Georgia. Also look at his offer list. Have you watched his film? Dude looks like a really good player.

And obviously our staff wanted him because we were recruiting him. Also we need all the help in the secondary we can get. You don’t turn away good players like this with offer lists like that.

Isn't he committed to Clemson?

Why the hell are people still arguing over a kid who committed to another school some while back? Are there rumors he's decommitting? If not, I don't see the point in arguing about it.

Correct. And to every school in the country. Austin and Brent have had countless commit videos shot that never aired

Yes, and that is because we signed a piss poor corner class last year. The previous points are still viable to that one whether you choose to accept them or not

Haven't signed well since Taylor, and Bryce.
So more than just last year, actually.

But you don't fix a position a group in one class. Because they won't all stay.

You're not counting transfer portal, either.

We are good at CB for this class. 3 really talented guys. And then next year we go and get 3 more for 2024

So in 2023
RSsr Turnege 4*
Rssr Hadden 3*
SR Williams 3*
Jr Charles 3*
Jr Rucker 3*
Rsfr Harrison 3*
Fr Conyer 4*
Fr Gibson 4*
Fr Matthews 4*

So 9 CBs NEXT YEAR.
For 2024 we recruit 2-3 more. And maybe a transfer?

So no...none of that other stuff you said was relevant.
