'13 HI DT Scott Pagano (Clemson Verbal)

[IrishLax]

The most shocking thing is how Clemson with all of these well-compensated semi-pro players can get blown out by 37 points by a team from the Big East.

 

[magogian]

Clemson's D-line class this year is epic.

 

[ALLGATOR]

They are in the running for Kendall Fuller when both his brothers went to VT. It looks like Montravius Adams will choose between Clemson and Auburn as well.

Don't worry bro all of Robert N'friends teammates will fill the class up before they can get em.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

This all would be funny as hell if it weren't so sick.

 

[ohara831]

I don't know if this proves he is a great recruiter or not.

They had a really good recruiting year last year as well. He is a good recruiter.

 

[johnnykillz]

Clemson blows my mind with the talent they've had the last eight years or so.

 

[Old Man Mike]

I have no information about this but I'd swear that SOMETHING fishy MUST go on down there with the constant line of thugs they reel in year after year. I'll bet also that there's some "class attendance is optional" message a la USC. That place is in a good need of an investigation. Next time that I see my VT-ex-player brother [who was a teammate of Beamer], I have to ask him what the rumors are about this.

 

[Rhode Irish]

Pagano called out Nkemdiche before the Rivals challengeand said that RN played against "JV players" and then absolutely laid a egg yesterday.

#1 Won't this be awkward?

Benjamin Franklin is Dabo's Recruiting Coordinator.

#2 How can these pictures exist and it isn't a major scandal? I don't get it.

 

[BGIF]

He moves very well for a kid his size IMO. The Rivals thing I am not worried about its a camp with no pads. Plus he flew all the way across the country with no sleep then had to compete.

And everybody knows Gators don't travel. That recruit flew more miles on that trip then the Gator Team does in 4 years. Gators whine about jet lag when they have to go all the way to Tuscaloosa.

 

[IHateMarkMay]

Aw geez, my insufferable brother-in-law just became more so. Damn it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates Clemson. Once I got down here, I felt like everybody pushed it on you and their fans are so damn obnoxious. Heard a funny joke today...

Dabo Sweeney got pulled over on the way home from their BCS bowl game...

He was doing 33 in a 70. haha

 

[ALLGATOR]

Don't worry bro all of Robert Nkemdiche's teammates will fill the class up before they can get em.

A lot of people like to look at who are the top prospect a team gets I on the other hand like to look at the bottom half. The reason Alabama and LSU have done so well; is one they have scouted and recruited well on the Dline and two the back half of their classes are very good.

Strange, on Rivals he vaulted about 20 position slots almost breaking their Top 100 while raising his rating from 5.7 to 5.9 and adding a 4th star.

On ESPN he moved up a couple of slots and made their Top 300.

On Scout and 247 he actually dropped a couple of slots from the last time I updated his profile.

Good. I'll save that one for Thanksgiving. The only good thing about Clemson fans is that there just aren't that many of them.

SEC

You ain't kiddin. There classes are stacked year in and year out. Look at kids like Mathieu and Sunseri, one proven and one about to blow up this year. I look at the gems they find every year and just shake my head in disgust but hey can't knock em for knowing what they're doing.

SEC

And???? There are teams in the SEC that travel to play other schools outside of their home state. LSU and Bama to name 2, and they've done alright lately, haven't they? The best arent scared to travel in order to play someone good. USC went out and played Auburn and Arkansas and kicked the crap out of them (now no SEC team will play them LOL), Oregon plays teams away from homeetc etc. If other teams in the SEC and across the country can do it, what's Florida's excuse? ( and if you say Florida St you'll be laughed off the board.)

I have the same suspicions, OMM. Where there's smoke, there's usually fire.

What is Clemson selling these kids? It's not academics, as their degree value is decidedly average. It isn't tradition, national exposure, or recent success. Just doesn't pass the smell test.

SEC EAST

FIFY. Get past Georgia, and you're only one opponent away from a spot in the title game most years. Oh yah... ES EE SEE!

Amen.

Snap those arms, while holding whining stomachs.

The fact is we do play FSU every year. I dont care if the Gators travel out of conference we play in the SEC the schedule is hard enough as is. If you win the SEC you go to the NC and win the title.

"we play FSU every year" AND Charleston, Troy, App St,, The Citadel, UAB, FL ATL, Fl INT, Southwest Nowhere. You're a real powerhouse against those 65 scholarship teams.

Now that the SEC can't sign 35 players a year the playing field will become somewhat even but the most probation prone conference in the nation just will find a new way to cheat.

 

[HawaiianIrish]

To be honest i never hear about PAGANO until i seen his name on Irish Envy... Today I looked up last year's Hawaii All State Team and PAGANO was an honorable mention.

Good Luck Hawaii Boy!!!!!!

So in other words, teams like LSU, Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Vanderbilt (!!!), etc, all have the stones to go and play out of state, out of their comfort zone, all while playing in the vaunted SEC, but Florida (playing the same SEC) can't travel out of state b/c that would be too hard for them.

Got it, thanks.

Riddle: What's the easiest job in the world? Florida's travel secretary! ba-dum-ching...(Truly hope you guys don't get lost on the way to Texas this year when you play A & M. Tell 'em Texas is that big 'ol state above Mexico. Can't miss it.)

I actually have been wondering the same thing....

 

[Bogtrotter07]

My ND, you have been in rare form lately.

Not to dispute anyone, but Clemson is highly regarded in most circles as a fine academic institution, especially in the South. I still don't like them from the seventies, because I still see the same thing. A reasonably good school opening it's roster to almost anyone, at the pinicle of exploitive college athletics. I bet their graduation numbers are really bad. I just don't see how anyone can claim to live by a higher ethical standard and wallow in that kind of cespool.

As far as Clemson, it ain't all just cash. I have heard third hand just enough to convince me it is women and etc. The funny thing with pimps is they are always amazed, and entertained by the power they hold . . .

When you say the back half of their class is very good, do you mean players 18-35? I'll look for the info I posted a while back about oversigning but the point is you should be loaded when you sign 111 "student athletes" in a 4 year period. Bama, Auburn, LSU, South Carolina essentially bring in an extra class every 4 years. Something of a built in advantage. Bringing in those numbers can cover a lot of warts.

Here you go.

What are you crying about the schedule or the oversigining? Is this about Florida or the SEC in general?

Florida has its one out of conference game its called FSU. The other teams do not have that local option because most of their rivals are in the SEC its really not that hard to understand. Its not changing I think everybody is pretty happy with the situation.

I didnt go to the link but whats your point? Its not a something other cant do.
