WTF happened to Jamal Clayborn last year? Freshmens year on campus he was an unheralded signee who was destined to redshirt then he actually plays and plays way better than what we all expected.
Sophomores year on campus he plays in 3 games and many wonder if he's quit/kicked off.
Junior year he's the starting center.
So what really happened last year? I know a family member died but that's not why he played in 3 games. Someone here knows and needs to spill the beans. Was it a Nick James situation where we should have been redshirted his sophmore year to get his **** together? Something was up and it was never made public as far as I know.

I'm not in the know but I'm pretty sure he just got buried in the depth chart behind a senior laden group of Day and Beckwith

Clayborn needed to figure out if he really wanted to be a D1 player or not. All indications are that he's really turned a corner this spring/summer.

Thats huge, because we don't have a hell of a lot of depth there.
