Former Clemson defensive line coach, Chris Rumph, says it best when he talked about his former employer with Jadeveon Clowney late in the recruiting process. He said –
“They can’t win there,” Clowney recalled Rumph telling him.
We’re going to win here. I couldn’t promise you that at Clemson, but I can promise you that here.”
Chris Rumph is now part of the Alabama coaching staff and tried to get Clowney to come to Alabama after he left the Tigers. As we know, it did not work. Clowney is a Gamecock but boy was Rumph right in talking about Clemson. Oh and Mr. Rumph, you can win at South Carolina. USC was SEC East champs and beat Bama football in 2010.
The above quote from Rumph is part of a “must read” story – HERE – from FoxSports.com’s Thayer Evans. He was permitted by the Clowney family to get an up-close view of the recruitment of Jadeveon in its final month and a half, and it’s a great read as it touches on all kinds of interesting things in the landing of Clowney.
