The gym went silent for what C.J. Spiller believes had to have been a full seven seconds. No one at Union County High School in Lake Butler, Fla., could believe what they just heard.
Did he just say … Clemson?

It had been an emotional recruitment for Clifford Spiller Jr., a five-star prospect and arguably the nation’s best running back in the Class of 2006. As a boy, the Florida State fan — wearing jersey No. 28 in honor of running back Warrick Dunn — figured he’d one day play for the Seminoles. Once he was in high school, Urban Meyer and Florida, the hometown school just 40 minutes away, made a strong push. The Gators appeared to be the favorite as signing day neared.

Urban Meyer: We had just won the national title and we were loaded. We had Percy (Harvin). I thought, oh, my gosh, we could be the greatest team of all time if we get this guy.

C.J. was a Christian guy and I was a Christian guy and C.J. said he was praying about the decision, and I said, “Well, C.J., I’m praying too, and just remember, we’re praying to the same God. And my God’s telling me you’re coming to Clemson.”

Later this week they gave pat the vote of confidence and then brought him in

To fire a coach right before camp starts is rough, lol.. What about the rest of the staff?

But honestly, they will be around and use this to pad their resume, but some nikkas may be getting tf on

Bedlam always been a weird type of rivalry to me tbh cause I've always enjoyed Texas vs OKST way more than OU vs OKST, But maybe that's because of how dominant OU has been in it.


OU had the nastiest year ever and still beat them bums, They better get them this season because who knows when they'll see them again.

Good list, sometimes it’s the slightest edge to get a recruit outside the money, but Clemson had to have dropped a mean check for him to snub Florida and State
