As expected, Clowney picks USCe

Rumph just coached Bowers to a possible 2nd pick in the first round and now he can join Bama and lead our DL. There is definitely some strategy in this hire but I don't think it lands on just JC. His knowledge and pull in the whole NC and SC area will benefit Bama for the next few years b/c that is always an area that is hard to pull anyone out of.
 
The word from BOL is that Chris Rumph has accepted CNS's job offer to be defensive line coach. Great news!

For the record I did not intend to imply that I thought that the only reason that CNS is going after Chris Rumph was because of his recruiting ties to Clowney. I think he is and will be a great DL coach at Bama.

Being a great DL coach is a lot easier when you have guys like Dial, Williams, Upshaw, Dareus (possible), and Clowney. I really think this was a genius hire.
 
Rumph tells Clemson staff he is taking Alabama position | TideSports.com
TUSCALOOSA | Clemson assistant coach Chris Rumph has informed the Tigers' coaching staff that he has accepted a position as an assistant coaching at the University of Alabama, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told The Tuscaloosa News on Tuesday morning.

Rumph is set to replace Bo Davis, who accepted a similar position at Texas coaching the Longhorns' defensive tackles.

Rumph has been at Clemson for five seasons, including two with former Alabama defensive coordinator Kevin Steele, who left UA for Clemson following a Sugar Bowl loss to Utah two years ago. Rumph coached defensive ends for the Tigers, and thus was among the Clemson assistants recruiting defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, one of the nation's top recruits from Rock Hill, S.C., who is also a target of Alabama's recruiting efforts.
 
Really even more than him liking us a little bit better is the fact that he's not even considering Clemson now. He basically admitted the only reason he was considering Clemson was because of Rumph. That's huge.

He liked us & he liked Rumph. Sounds like a match to me.
 
How is South Carolina gonna make their numbers work they just got the Dixon brothers to commit and that puts them at 28 and they still have recruits on the board. You can only sign 28 right.

Me guessing but some of those fellas would most likely be greyshirting.
 
Jam, are you hinting that Davis to Texas was a mutual decision, or am I misreading you? Also, I wanted to ask if your hearing anything else about questionable recruiting tactics by other schools surrounding Clowney?
