We've been turning down for years so I've heard. Or maybe it's the other way around.

Sounds like he was told, not to leave mad,

just leave.

I'm sure he has an issue, that they did not like.

It’s hard not to appreciate what Dabo has at Clemson. I’m sure they cheat like everyone else, but they certainly have a level of class that others do not.

I’m pretty sure I read/heard they don’t allow players committed to other schools to come for visits.

TURN DOWN FOR WHAT

That’s correct. And Dabo manages to speak about his faith without weaponizing it. He’s a solid guy.

Clemson, the defending national champions, had let him know that it had the linebackers it needed for next year's signing class.
"I talked to my dad about it and we just decided we'd release the top five or six now," Grimes said. "(Clemson) was definitely a place I could see myself playing at. When that happened I had to think about things more.
"It put things in place."

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Lol. Did you seriously reply to me.

Of course, Saban would never do such a thing. Even more respect for Dabo.

Grimes Dad played at Bama. He was never going anywhere but Bama.

Poor kid is going to have to settle for Bama. Is there no justice?

 

[HumpDawgy]

Someone's daddy must have been shopping his talents around and Dabo knows the NCAA is watching closely after they beat the "chosen team" badly this year. Doesn't need to burn down his program after all the hard work to build it up.

 

[Xenomorph]

Are you tempting him to take another round of shots?

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

There is definitely more to this story.

There is definitely more to this story.

Has to be...

I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes its best to leave the 5 stars alone and go after a class full of 4 stars. 5 stars draw too much attention and already think they are NFL ready (in a lot of cases). 3 and 4 stars tend to work harder.

First response to signing a 5 star player:

"Wow, we signed a friggin 5 star!!!"

Next response to signing a 5 star player:

"Oh Crap! How did we sign a friggin 5 star??!!"
