I was passing through Sylacauga, AL yesterday and grabbed some gas and etc. I had my Clemson T-shirt on and this lady and her son walk over to me smirking. My first thought was they were either Bama fans wanting to rub the Natty in my face or Auburn fans wanting to talk shyt. Turns out the lady was a relative of TJ Green [I completely forgot he went to high school there] and was just praising Clemson and etc. I grabbed one of those gas station pizzas, some fries and wings and this older white lady dumped 5 extra wings and some extra fries in there. She was like "I'm Roll Tide til I Die but I hate thos WET's b*stards with a passion... I put some extra in there ... beat Auburn" I :russ: then was like what is a WET? She said "since them confused sommovabytches can't choose a mascot that's what I call them WET's ... War Eagle Tigers! :shaq: I laughed again and said I thought you were going to say it was bc y'all are the "Tide" and y'all keep washing them....thus they are WET ... she :mjlol: and said "that too... Roll Damn Tide...have a great day and tell Dabo to come home when Nick leaves"

www.tigernet.com/story/football/Tee-Higgins-talks-Tennessee-basketball-recruiting-14954

Clemson wide receiver commit Tee Higgins has had a busy month of July, starting with his commitment to Clemson on Independence Day in a viral Bleacher Report video.

Higgins followed that up with a trip to Eugene, Oregon, where he spent a week at Nike’s The Opening with fellow 2017 commits Amari Rodgers and Hunter Johnson.

Higgins sat down with Knoxville’s Sports Radio WNML, the flagship station of the Tennessee Volunteers, and discussed a variety of topics with host Vince Ferrara. The following is an edited transcript of that interview, with the permission of WNML.

Are you sticking with Clemson?

“My recruitment is shut down completely. I am sure I am going to Clemson.”

Why Clemson?

“It’s just that family feel that they give me. Coach Swinney and Coach Scott make me feel like family and that’s what I like about them.”

What makes them great recruiters?

“They have the commits like Amari Rodgers and Hunter Johnson going out and recruiting for them and talking to them and getting close to them.”

When did you connect and form that bond with Amari Rodgers and Hunter Johnson?

“Me and Hunter, we were both once committed to Tennessee. We were the first 2017 commits, and we had that bond then. And with Amari, I played 7-on-7 with him the first time this year, and I got closer to him. We are like brothers now.”

Where did the Bleacher Report video come from?

“I reached out to them, and I told them I wanted to do to a Bleacher Report video. They asked if I wanted to set up something, and I said yeah let’s do it. They asked about the Fourth of July, and I said, ‘Oh yeah, let’s do a big Fourth of July commitment.’ And that’s what we did.”

How soon before that did you know you were going to commit to Clemson?

“I knew at least a week in advance, and I let the Bleacher Report people know.”

Where were you when you knew Clemson was the place you wanted to be?

“My mom and I had visited a few weeks before my decision, and we were talking about how my top two were Tennessee and Clemson. We talked about it and talked about it and talked about it. Finally, we came to a decision, and I picked Clemson.”

What is Dabo like behind closed doors?

“He’s wild. He loves to play around, and he always talks about he wants to take me on in basketball when I get there. All of the coaches say he is good and can shoot, so we’ll see.”

Is basketball something you want to do on the college level?

“No, I want to play strictly football.”

How difficult will it be during the winter, when you’re just in the weight room and not playing?

“It will be different because it will be my first time.”

What can you say about Tennessee and your recruitment and what Tennessee has going on?

“Tennessee is actually on the come-up, and they will be pretty good in the next few years. It was pretty hard just knowing that my hometown team will be good and the way they recruit they are really good at what they do. They make you feel like you are at home, too, but there was just something about Clemson that actually made me feel at home.”

Is it tough giving up basketball?

“Yeah, it’s tough, because that was actually my first love.”

Where have you gotten better as a player?

“I’ve gotten better in my route running and blocking.”

Your coach said it doesn’t matter if you’re double-covered, he tells his quarterbacks to throw you the ball because you’re gonna catch it. Do you believe that yourself?

“I kind of don’t have a choice, because the coach will run me at the next practice. I don’t have a choice but to catch it.”



Who do you model your game after?

“A.J. Green. He’s tall and lanky just like me. That is who I model my game after.”

What is Clemson telling you about your upside as a college football player?

“They tell me that I can be one of the best, but I just have to work at it. They see me as a 9-man receiver, which is where Nuk Hopkins played. So I’ve been looking at that.”

Did you look at going somewhere where you could play both football and basketball, or was that an option for you?

“It was. I thought about it at Tennessee, but I just wanted to play football in the long run.”

Tennessee has used Wide Receiver U, but Clemson is the school that most recently has played a lot of receivers in the NFL. Do they talk a lot about WRU at Clemson?

“Yeah, just a little bit. Personally, I think Clemson is WRU at the moment.”

Who is better, you or Amari?

“Me. Amari is quick and stronger than me, and can actually jump pretty high. But I think I have him on the jumping part, and with my ball skills.”

How good is Hunter Johnson going to be?

“He’s pretty good. He can spin it. A great quarterback like him will be great for Amari and me.”




:shaq::shaq:


But but but basketball tho.

Tennessee was probably like "sure you can play both...just come aboard!" Butch [ah we'll make him quit basketball after year 1 anyway] #Lie2emMakeItSoundFly2em

Clemson was probably like "you can play basketball but let me be honest with you. Nuk played basketball and then realized he needed to workout...that next year he was one of the best and now he's one of the best in the NFL" Dabo " you skinny son...hit them weights...and i can beat you in hoops anyway"
