Will Clowney Make It?

At this time of the year, a lot of the recruiting headlines turn out to be bad news. That’s the case with the latest out of the South Carolina camp. According to Steve Spurrier’s interview yesterday on the Paul Finebaum show, superstar recruit Jadeveon Clowney hasn’t qualified for South Carolina yet.

Spurrier said that Clowney still needed to raise a test score in order to be admitted to the University. Now, Clowney still has time to do that, but I’m starting to doubt the odds that it happens. Already, Clowney isn’t scheduled to be on campus at USC until July at the earliest, more than a month after most of this year’s signing class is scheduled to show up.

I hope I’m wrong – because I really can’t wait to see how the uber-talented kid stacks up and the SEC’s best offensive lines- but it’s really looking doubtful that Clowney can get everything done and in order by the deadline.

South Carolina might get a chance to recruit him again after a couple years in JUCO.
