I’ve come to actually like the guy now. But this is gold.
New CHICAGO – When you have a five-star prospect on campus, you’re supposed to know, right?
Not always, apparently.
Former five-star linebacker and current Ohio State captain Raekwon McMillan recalled the time between his sophomore and junior year of high school when he unofficially visited South Carolina and had a really weird experience.
“Back when Coach (Steve) Spurrier was the coach at South Carolina, I was visiting South Carolina for the first time,” McMillan said Tuesday at Big Ten Media Days on Tuesday afternoon. "I just did a tour, Ohio State, Clemson and then down to South Carolina. I just got an offer from Alabama, all that type of stuff, the No. 1 linebacker in the nation.
"So I go to South Carolina, I walk up to coach Spurrier and say, ‘What’s up Coach, how are you doing?’ And he said, ‘What’s your name again?’ I was like, ‘Whoa, he doesn’t even know my name.’ And he said, ‘Are you that kid from Texas?’ And I was like, ‘Nah.’
“So he just walks away. He didn’t even ask me my name or anything like that. After he walked away, I went to another coach and the same thing happened. They didn’t even know I was on campus. So I just left.”
How is that possible?
By the time McMillan signed with Ohio State, he was a five-star prospect and one of the most sought-after defenders in the country. And in his time in college, he’s lived up to his five-star billing and will likely be headed to the NFL early after his junior season with the Buckeyes in 2016.
That tour was way before he made his decision. If I remember correctly it came down to uga and bux. Which as a uga fan. I knew at the time he would go north. Right never could get the elite guys from the state.

Yep, then he tea bagged the entire Sakkerliner fan-base and still is with the state he left the program in.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Perhaps you are correct. However, I suspect it is easier to get a bad taste outta your mouth once, than it is 5 times in a row… Let’s be honest those things were spit shined and cleaned up by Dabo way before they ever got to the SCar folks… Shout out to Dabo for a job well done!
A National Championship, consecutive championship and playoff appearances and beating the rival 3 years in a row plus like a rented mule back in November tends to make things better. And 4 is on the way. How many do you think it’ll be in a row before Dabo is through returning the favor, 10 or will it be more?

#1: Dabo prolly won’t be at Clem more than a few more years… Just waiting on the Bama job.
#2: Gotta get 3 more before claiming a 6 peat. Really 4 more because we don’t count the one where there was a major coaching transition. Gotta be heads up without a coaching transition… Sorta like with Bama and Kiffin… Really wasn’t a straight-up game…
#3: It isn’t certain that Dabo has teabags to begin with. He is kinda girly with his antics and fancy dancin’… Let’s be honest, his name is Dabo which doesn’t instill a whole lot of fear in an opponent…
