I'm about to make your day...
I heard on the radio today (Clemson station) that Clemson was setting up home and away series' with each of the following SEC schools: UGA, Ole Miss, and Vandy.
It is still a process in the works but from the way that they were talking, each of these games could be in the near future. Surely not each one in the same year, but soon.
About Dwight Jones:
I was not completely in the know about the situation that went on with Jones, so I asked some of the Clemson fans on the main rivals.com board. This was the most clean cut, no bullshit response that I got:
UNC fans and others are going to say we are full of shit.
But we had a commitee, the AARC, that our coaches were forced to clear before issuing LOIs to potential signees. They were run by a bunch of egg heads, and were unwilling to clear DJ for an LOI. They did the same thing in the recruitments of JoJo Cox and Julius Wilkerson, which may end up being trouble long term in Jeffersonville, GA and Gaffney. Some other kids we were unable to clear were Rashaad Mason, Tydreke Powell, and Billy Chavis (ATH from TX). They did clear several other borderline kids(I am not going to get into who, but pretty much half of our defensive class), but attached "addendums" to these kids LOIs, stating that they may not qualify, even with the NCAA minimum standards met.The committe was reconfigured earlier this spring, and so we're hoping not to see these same problems next year.
Here is a question from a Gamecock fan on the same thread:
Not a flame but if it's true that Jones wanted to go to Clemson but it was the AARC that kept him out, won't he just be able to try and come in next year?
The response to his question from a Clemson fan:
After we pulled his scholarship offer two days before NSD? We burned that bridge.
Hope this was the info that you were looking for bro. Let me know if you need more. I'll do my best to get it.
