[knoxvol52]

Has he actually committed to Clemson, or are we just speculating?

Speculation…..
but you have to freak out and call for coaches to be fired when a 3 star instate kid ranked in the 600s chooses to go elsewhere…. Clemson didn’t lose their **** when we took the best wr in South Carolina

I’m more pissed about the LB uk got from Tennessee then losing this guy

Gotcha . I must be woefully behind. Who's the LB Kentucky got? And did we recruit him?

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

It's fair to be critical of Ellerbe's O-line recruiting thus far. But, this class isn't done yet. It's July 1st for crying out loud.

The greater frustration here is that it's an instate recruit.

It's just as fair to praise the development Ellerbe has done with the offensive line.

All can be true. However, I've never seen an offensive guard prospect be what sets a part a recruiting class.

Why is it FAIR to criticize a coaches recruiting or development performance without KNOWLEDGE of the HC’s priorities and evaluations of his efforts? In play and fair are not necessarily in sync.

 

[rgvol]

The O line recruits this staff has brought to the program is really impressive. All of them I never star gaze when it comes to offensive line

 

[BondJamesBond]

We may never recover.

DOOOOOMED!

You're pissed about a guy we didn't offer?

Yeah
Should have said it better
Would have rather had him

 

[KnoxToTheBoro93]

Not saying hes a bad coach, but on the same hand he hasn’t recruited a single starter on the OL yet, unless you count Jeremiah Crawford

It’s only been 2 years if you have young players starting on the OL that’s usually not a recipe for success he has recruited plenty of talented players that I am excited about… Nichols, sham, clipper, my guy from Detroit, will all be good players for us… best OL we’ve had in 20 years last year but he is a liability ? some of our fans have wild takes… our current OL commits look really solid as well.

we just gotta close with some of our higher rated prospects is all. Else, im happy with development. You cant always just have YOUR prototypical guy, attitude and coachability wise. OL is one of those positions where you need talent and some tude.

Gerald Mincey, John Campbell, JJ Crawford, Andre Karic all have a chance to start games this year. OL is very much so a developmental position and he's been here 2 years relax

 

[wmcovol]

I don't see Ronan as the type to flip after committing somewhere

I also don’t see Heupel chasing an instate kid limited to the interior OL. Sad that he doesn’t want to play here & the best conference in America but oh well…..next

this

and you could do a whole lot worse than those 4 names. Not sure what all the complaining is about either. Kind of feel like the OL is gonna be better than some think.

AP has essentially said he’s going to Clemson without ruining the kid’s moment.

I wonder how much competition played into his decision. They have no one committed, we have several plus more coming

No idea. Probably didn’t hurt though

Basically these posters criticizing Ellarbe want a staff full of Niedermeyers. OL wise you want a developer over a recruiter 100/100 times.

Think he probably just fell in love with the Joel Osteen cult. Shame for him…

Last week, CGE was the boss pulling in Max Anderson but this week, let a 3 star OG go elsewhere & he’s a bum. Lol

And if we did land him many would then complain “oh great another 3 star!”

Some people have just made a predetermined decision to be grumpy and unhappy. Can’t reason with folks like that tbh.

O'Connell is a player, at position of need.

Certainly wanted him to be a part of this class. Ellarbee could be goat raktrooter of all time, and not contend with the intoxicating musings of Clemson cult leader, Dabo Koresh.
