Plot twist, he signs with Clemson and screws up their recruiting and we get a 5 star they were originally going to get out of nowhere just to piss Clemson coaching staff off.

 

Edit:  if he tries to sign with Clemson can they not accept it and would he lose a year of eligibility?

They wouldnt give him the paperwork

Here’s what I read happened:

 

- Nebraska said we want you now and want you to sign.

- Clemson says we want you now too.

- Fritzsche informs Clemson he’s going to sign.

- They say that they’re still waiting on a few guys decisions and would prefer he wait.

 

Not sure if this is exactly right but it's pretty close.

 

Clemson is going a different direction now.  Not sure if something else has changed since they offered Fritzsche or they were just trying to keep him as a Plan B all along.  But at this point they are going after someone else so Jimmy will be  tomorrow

I don't quite know how I feel knowing we're this kid's second choice, and the only reason he's coming here is via a technicality.

If it is a technicality that we win over the number 2 team in the country that happens to be the home team, then I am fine with it.  Cant blame a kid for struggling with that decision.  But, if it was some mediocre team with no geographical connection then I would not feel great about this decision.

This is a kid from South Carolina. There is no shame in being his second choice to a Clemson team in his own state that has been all the hotness the past few years. Especially since NU has not been very good in his lifetime. We take a lot of recruits who maybe would have chosen other schools if they had been offered. But we all know we are on the right path now, and if he can develop as a player, and have that chip on his shoulder for only being a plan B for Clemson, then maybe when we meet Clemson in the playoffs in a couple of years, this kid will be ready to tear some a$$.

According to a Clemson writer they are trending with an OT “who hasn’t been talked about in a while.” Not sure exactly what that means but I’m guessing Jimmy was always the back up plan.

There are dozens of players on this team that probably wouldn't be at Nebraska if their big instate or regional school offered

I wonder how many of Nebraska’s Georgia players/recruits were offered by Georgia.

Tannors offer was pulled thats why he decommitted

Nate Clouse and 5 other analysts on rivals are all predicting he's N.  We'll see.

That wasn’t what he asked. He asked who was offered by UGA.

Having the offer pulled is relevant when talking about whether they picked us over the home state school because they didn't have the choice to go to the home state school.
