The last two recruiting cycles Clemson has 2 kids from California. Ngata last year and DJ U this year. Clemson understands the odds are low of getting west coast kids to actually sign and hop on that plane.Baseman said:

A 3 hour difference doesn't sound like a lot but for kids that are used to daily communication with family or friends suddenly you find that you can't send those morning texts or calls because your friends/family are sleeping. You're getting ready to go to bed and they're just getting food on the dinner table. I think it's easier for a kid from the East to go West because friends/family back home have already got their day started.
I think Justin Flowe probably came to this realization and decided to stay west.
Just like we understand. When we had Charles Frederick ...he was homesick for half his stay. He was ready to pack his bags after an argument.
Emeka is not going to Clemson. He comes from a stable family so he's not running from dysfunction. Ohio State is a far as he wants to go and if the UW doesn't have a fucked up offense this year you have a good chance of keeping him home. -
1.) This seems like a bold assertion. You know the guy?DawgDaze71 said:

2.) Columbus, Ohio being appreciably closer then Clemson, South Carolina is pretty silly. He's getting on a plane, so what's distance have to do with it? In fact, the Google is telling me that flight time from SeaTac to Columbus is to the minute identical to flight time from SeaTac to Atlanta, so we're talking about the difference being a two hour car ride from Atlanta to Clemson? No kid is choosing their college because they're don't want to ride in a car for a couple of hours a few times per year. -
Both are eastern time zone as well. The extra travel time isn’t an issue and if you’re open to one school is the EST, you’re probably open to other schools there as well.1to392831weretaken said:

You guys are right. For the life of me I thought Ohio was not ETS. It’s amazing they recruit California as well as they do.
I’m not surprised to read that Joe Ngata has the same experience that I had living in Georgia. Communication is tough you have to make it work.
Ngata on being so far away from home“
“A little bit with the schedule and the time delay. It’s a little hard to keep in contact,” Ngata said Tuesday. “But I try to call my parents as much as possible and call my brother as much as possible
The “Wide Receiver U” pipeline drew Ngata to Clemson, as did “how genuine everybody was and it wasn’t fake.”
I wouldn’t mind our coaches selling the DBU stuff a bit stronger. The UW has had a remarkable amount of players not only make the league but become starters recently. -

You weren’t best best in the country in the country at your position. Your options weren’t the same.Edwin_Bambino said:

It’s pretty simple if your local programs are healthy, most of the in-state talent stays home. If USC
And UCLA are healthy Flowe is a Trojan or Bruin.
That why I didn’t trip when Smalls dropped the UW. The UW staff can lazily recruits at times.

Your point had to do with difficulty with time zones - way to move the goal posts - and your previous point was and still is dumbDawgDaze71 said:
