Antonio Williams Twitter

Wow. You predicted that people who disagree with you repeatedly would actually disagree with you.

It's like the reincarnation of Ms. Cleo.
Not at all... It was pretty much a sure thing. I was just reassuring the original poster that it would happen despite his pleading for the opposite.
 
Shane will learn something quickly about his pal dabo. Tateru and everyone associated with them bad mouths USC to every recruit, family member, and a majority of the high school coaches. It's been going on forever but dabo has pushed this behavior more and more. I'm not saying it had anything to do with this guy, but our coaches need to learn ASAP on how dirty things are.
It's not limited to football recruiting either.
 
So you really expect this 18-year-old kid to say to God and everybody... "yeah, I was going to go to school A but some of their fans are jackasses online and it hurt my feelings so I changed my mind and I'm going to school B". ??? Ok

That would certainly be more persuasive for your side of the argument than his quote you posted that says it doesn't affect his decision.

Well, when people disagree, they should say so. Imho, one of the main points of message boards.

Would you stop posting if I "pleaded" with you to stop?

Actually it is kind of funny. And basically two sentences he said that if anyone says fans chatting online does not affect their recruiting they would be lying... Then in the next breath he says but that's not a factor in my decision. Lol.

Sounds like he's lying!

Honestly like I keep saying there's no way for any of us to ever know how much any of this is a factor. I just don't think it's worth the risk. It certainly doesn't serve a purpose, other than giving you a hard on I suppose.

But you do you as I'm sure you will.

I don't think his statement is as contradictory as you say.

"If recruits tell you that it doesn't play some sort of role, they're probably lying," uncommitted ESPN 300 cornerback Kristian Fulton of Metairie (Louisiana) Archbishop Rummel said. "For me, it's not going to be a big thing I'm making my decision on, but I've learned a lot about the different programs from fans on Twitter. Some of those things were never mentioned by recruiters, and it was helpful to learn about them. Plus, it's cool to have fans from all the different schools showing you the love. You get a chance to see how they'll support you if you went to that school."

It's not something he bases his decision on, but he's learned some things the recruiters didn't tell him and he liked all the love. I think that's literally the role. Nice cute side info and compliments, but nothing that will sway a decision.

And if voicing your opinion serves no purpose other than to "get a hard on", I guess we're all guilty of that here.
 
We gotta double down and get this kid back in the fold. Remember to use hashtags #ShaneTrain and #BeamerBall

Guys, you have to stop bashing kids on Twitter and other platforms. They see this stuff man. If you want kids to come to this school and help the program this is not helping at all. Especially when the kid is at a local powerhouse school that continuously produces good players. Not smart at all.
The guys supposedly bashing kids are Clemson trollers who are wana be Gamecocks, but we will not allow them in Gamecock Nation
 
I just looked at Antonio Williams offer list.
He got offers from 27 schools.
So he didn't just say no to SC.
He said no to 25 others too.

This tells me Clemson was his dream school.
So good for him.
He held out, worked hard, and in the end got what he wanted.

Sometimes it less about you, than the dream/goal the other person has.
I think that is the case with this young man.
Jmho.
I wish only the best for Antonio Williams. These so called negative posters are Clemson fans wanting to stir the pot. They are wana be Gamecocks and we will let them in the club.
 
Hopefully Dabo has at least convinced their fans to never attend a game at WB again
Man you are one of those trollers from Clemson. Please go back to that hole called Clemson. Rub a rock and run down a hill. You are known as the "rock rubbers" "hill runners". Run to the hills. PLEASE!

True story. That guy was my RA at Clemson.
 
So interesting rumor now that the SoCal QB from last year entered the portal is that Riley is trying to recruit DJ to cleave Clemson and come to SoCal. Most think it’s a ploy to get his younger brother but it will be interesting to see what happens.
 
Go to the Oklahoma board and you will see posts that Lincoln Riley is trying to get DJ to come home to Southern Cal to get his brother. From all indications I have seen DJ will not be at Clemson next year. The Clemson fans turned on DJ really bad this year and I have been told by several people that after tomorrow (national signing day) DJ will be going in the transfer portal. Not sure where the qb from LSU is going to end up but I have heard that he will probably go to an SEC east school. Florida and Georgia may end up with him, Either one will be an upgrade of what they have right now. The qb at Georgia will probably declare for the NFL Draft.

I wonder if losing DJ will be a big loss for clemson. Did you see him play in other games?

I guess it would be a hit to depth since they'd have to fill his place on the bench.
 
I must say , AW picking Clempson in the middle of a coaching exodus really points to it being his dream school . His dream school has lost it OC / DC / Ol & a retiring coach + Director of recruiting . That is 40 % of the staff in numbers but probability 60 - 70 % of the brain trust . The environment there has changed completely .


THIS ^^^^ is true. I don't understand why the young man chose Clemson under the current turnover circumstances with their staff, but . . . there's always the portal.
 
I just feel bad for Williams. Clemson/Dabo played him like a fiddle. If they had REALLY wanted him, they would have offered him early. He does not fit their receiver prototype. The only reason they offered is because they missed out on a couple of their targets and they didn't want Williams going to Carolina.

It'll come across as defending clemson, but I would say all schools have priority and back up targets, conditional offers, etc.
 
AW going to get that Shake. Taters bag man must be replacing the mcdonald bags.
 
He could end up making a great choice or could end up a Shaq Roland 2.0. Only time will tell. Best wishes to the kid though.
