Picks South Carolina over Clemson and Alabama. Couldn't find a profile for him. Doesn't necessarily mean he will be playing for the Gamecocks next year though because apparently he has serious academic issues.

I'm just glad that he's not going to Alabama. They have enough studs in the stable.

Just saw him on sportscenter. Not surprised that he has academic issues due to watching him get interviewed. Obviously, he could be nervous, but he was struggling.

I'm happy he's in South Carolina. Didn't want to see him joining that great defensive Clemson class or Alabama...obviously.

No Sh*t !!

thank god he's not going to Bama .... S Carolina is the only school i truly root for in the SEC cause they are always an underdog, just cause i hate how it's always Florida, Tenn., Georgia, Bama, Auburn etc....etc....ruling the SEC. i would like to see someone else have some success and i think Clowney could really help out SC get there.

It's the SEC. "Academics" are a myth down there, right up there with Perseus and Paul Bunyan.

South Carolina wins the east four years in a row. Hah I am kidding but this recruit sure could help.

Here's a link to a New York Times piece on Clowney from a few days ago:

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/12/sports/ncaafootball/12clowney.html?scp=1&sq=Clowney&st=cse

I don't know if you need to be a registered e-subscriber to read it – I am – but I thought I'd give it a try.

Ben E. · Feb 14, 2011

he is a 4-3 d end, the only way he was going to to bama was if he was ok going to outside backer. saban loves the 3-4! it was strange that the head of admissions at that prep school openly talked about his transcripts...

JDAtlanta · Feb 14, 2011

It's pretty sad that a kid would get this far in school and struggle so mightily. I doubt he was ever pushed to do anything academically.
Three words.
Hargrave Military Academy.

If you don't meet NCAA minimums it doesn't matter what conference you're in.

What are you saying about Paul Bunyan? I've seen his statue, he must be real.

irishpat183 · Feb 14, 2011

Fellas, he just needs a place with room and board paid for, a weight room with a strength coach, and early PT.

He doesn't care about winning at this level.

3 years and he's in the league. Just a parking space.

This will be interesting to see...

Im assuming that spurrier is putting together a crack team of tutors as we speak. Not to mention they are building him his own house =p

If you're a HS senior.

He'll just to the SEC/JUCO twostep.

Me2SouthBend · Feb 14, 2011

So now S Carolina has 33 in it's recruiting class. Did they really have 8 EE to put against last year's class? They signed 32 on signing day and still had an available schollie. Amazing.

NoJusticeNoPeace · Feb 14, 2011

He'll be one of the best defensive ends in SEC history. Future #1 pick. He makes Da'Quon Bowers look like John Ryan.

I heard he was seven feet tall, kills men by the hundreds, and consumes offenses with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse.

Once took Diaco in a fair fight.

oh yeah coaches will do that .....

random story, but my friend Justin, was ranked 17th (TE/DE) coming out of San Clemente high school and had a full ride to Florida St., well my friend Justin wasn't the brightest kid on the block but he sure did have size being 6'7 240 pounds. So Bobby Bowden came to my high school, and had the school principal change all of Justin's harder classes to all easy ones, so he could pass.

coaches will do anything to get a HS kid enrolled into college, so once they makes it academic wise coming in, then the coach can just give the student player as many tutors as he wants or needs.

Which is the only time, ever, Bob's tactics sucked.

Admiral, my friend---NEVER let reality intrude upon legend.... A little delusionality is a good thing---especially with all us knuckleheads on this site.

I'm glad you said this because I don't care if this is real or not. This is intimidating as **** and I'm genuinely terrified of this man
