Class of 2019 DE/TE Cooper Dawson (SC) SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE 12/19/18

That and Clemson is having a horrible time recruiting olinemen this cycle. Truly mystifying.

Lugenbill just mentioned this on The First Team this morning. Specifically Clemson and Florida.

Sure, they had to offer 4 quarters to match our dollar instead of 3 nickels.

Yeah. In other words, competing.

Rather late to the party here. UCLA is not the destination it once was. Empty stands during the games and mediocre performance on the field. Chip Kelly is struggling for now. Having said that it is full of palm trees and California girls so what do I know.

No way this kid is signing in December.

 

[Killdozer]

The kid should enjoy the process. It only matters for him to sign early if he is going to enroll early or knows SU is for him.

He wants to enroll early wherever he signs.

#STRecruiting Notebook: Wednesday updates - SportsTalk

"OL/DE Cooper Dawson of Hanahan said Tuesday he probably won’t take and official visit his weekend. He plans to stay home and think about his decision, said he’s close on making one. He plans to announce on the 19th. Tuesday Dawson was offered by UCLA."

This is probably the best outcome we could have asked for...

Fun fact: the bottom left picture of this tweet is an actual shot of UCLA's largest crowd of the season.

My guess is there will be a couple of recruits in SC getting in home visits from the SU staff this week.

It's Complicated: Lineman choosing between dream position and dream school

Mention in there about going where he feels he's getting the most love. Well, Clemson only offered him a grey shirt until a few days ago after looking elsewhere. Hope that shows him how much of a priority he is or ISN'T to them.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Gotta be coming down to the wire, I am surprised that he is set on declaring next week.

I think it has to do with him enrolling in January -- things need to get finalized, as he'll be heading somewhere literally in 2-3 weeks.

Dukes reaction to the tweet and response to cooper.

First, it was FSU, not Florida. My bad on that. His response was to a question by an FSU fan worried about FSU's O-line whoa's. He mentioned that FSU and Clemson both do not have strong depth, but particularly their Oline recruiting is behind other positions. He and MacElroy both lamented on the overall bad Oline play across the country.

That’s an incredible edit.

I think his decision not to take any more OVs, per that recruiting site tweet this morning, is telling. Clemson, SU, Clemson, SU has to be going round and round in his head.

Thanks man. They aren't wrong. Luckily we have corrected it in the 2020 class but 2019 is concerning.

 

[SUfaninAZ]

Dream schools may not be all that dreamy.

 

[JRHEETER]

Dukes and Dawson want to play together bad. The only school that offered them both is Cuse from what I can tell?

I’m going to take a bet one these guys end up wearing an Orange Jersey
