Bump. Any update?

[FanofCarolina1]

I'm not sure about recruiting, but as for national exposure....It has probably increased by at least 1000%. NTM, It has TOTALLY trumped Clemson's win over LSWho. Looks like everyone has already forgotten about it. HAHAHHAHA!!!

One hang up I see with this is that I don't think Spurrier will get an in home unless it happens before the visit.

great hit but not the best play ever. i cant believe people are even considering this. UM miscommunicated and for some reason no one blocked clowney.

exactly! now if Clowney palmed the ball and scored... i could see it in the discussion.

[LegalCock]

Its actually a very solid class even without some surprises. I forgot about Griffin. Those are some nice leftovers from UGA. DL > every other position.

[Emery]

Honestly, unless it is a player as talented as Clowney or Lattimore I'm done being excited about any recruits until they actually start practicing and see the field beyond the spring game.

Hill. I want to see if he can come in and be as disruptive as people think.

Yeah, this certainly does help our national recognition and therefore recruiting.

I could see Spurrier doing something crazy like this at the end of the year if it looks like the Heisman is in reach... ESPECIALLY against Clemson.

The exposure will help, but all in all, a hit is a hit. It happens all the time in football. One of the things that is giving Clowney's hit momentum is the circumstances around it.

Clowney, 6th place finisher in the Heisman vote and best defensive player in the country, skull fractures the opposing runner with one of the best hits we have ever witnessed. Momentum shifts. We win against a top 25 team in a major bowl. Twitter universe explodes with "OOHH MY GOD, DID YOU SEE THATs!" The clip shows up on almost every major news outlet in America and even housewives are talking about it.

You may wanna reevaluate what you consider a "greatest of all time" play dude because that could EASILY be the best play we've ever seen in a college game. Flutie's Hail Mary pales in comparison.

It is an opinion with no one being correct, his opinion is different then yours. That was a great play but does not even make the top USC football play for me, look up Erik Kimrey and Miss St, just my opinion.

Spurrier can do his in-home visit after the OV and before NSD. Could work out well, especially if he really gets swayed during his OV.

Hell boys and girls , I would have to say the play of the game was Dillons TD to win the ballgame. Don't get me wrong that hit was tremendous but not even the play of the game. I'll hang up and listen

Its a tough call. That hit and fumble turned the entire game around, Defense was having trouble stopping their offense, help or no help. SO there was a good chance they drive down the field and take a 2 score lead. Momentum wise, that may have been the biggest play of the game. But theres no way to doubt that the game winning pass should probly take the spot. it was a weird game. Lots of big plays.

May be a long shot, but we're getting him on campus and giving ourselves a chance. That's really all you can ask for, and you never know what could happen from there.

[CoverTwo]

It'll have to be quick because the quiet period starts Feb 2nd.

He may be a long shot, but this comment is dead on. He's coming here for an official, one of only a few he can take. That alone says something and gives us a chance.

This coupled w/ the few interviews/stories I've read on him and his attitude about big time playmaking gives me a sliver of hope, particularly in light of Clowney's Hit. It could (probably is) be wishful thinking but Foster wants to be the LB version of Clowney (and has the potential to be if he can stay healthy and out of trouble). Come play w/ big bruh for a season.

C2: you know more about this than any of us. Are Brent and Smith going to be able to step in and be the bigger body WR that a lot of us are coveting this cycle (w/ JaQuay previously, now ER, etc.) I've heard a lot of great things about Smith.

EDIT: sorry if this is OT.
