Re: Billy Wiles reports two different kinds of offer
I think he was assuming that Pratt won't use the free year due to COVID. But if he does, you are correct... and the next two years sans QB sniffs would freak out a lot of people here...gerryb323 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 11:41 amPratt still has 4 years, so maybe 2 years from now?

He means next class, signing next December and Feb. '22. Should have no problem finding interested candidates.

You could almost put those odds on him being at Ole Miss, but he could follow his Uncle’s footsteps to Tennessee. I don’t think the Manning’s care for the school upriver too much so they are likely out of the race.PeteRasche wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 11:31 amThe odds that Arch Manning ends up at anything other than an SEC school are about 100,000,000,000,000,000:1.Marathon Wave wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 10:49 am All is well gentlemen.

Re: Billy Wiles reports two different kinds of offer
I suspect his recruitment will be of the level where schools will hire coaches just because they think those coaches can bring him in.

Re: Billy Wiles reports two different kinds of offer
I don't think Cutcliffe will be coaching too much longer. Duke is 12-30 in the ACC over the last 5 years.

Re: Billy Wiles reports two different kinds of offer
I just can't think of his angle. Clemson has an entrenched starter for the next two years in Uiagalalei, signed a QB to a full ride in this class, and will certainly be out to find Uiagalalei's replacement in 2021 (they're favored to get the current #2 dual threat in that class).

Re: Billy Wiles reports two different kinds of offer
Billy got hurt a lot by the pandemic. His school didn’t play and any offers that he could’ve generated as a senior never materialized. He also lost out on several opportunities in the FCS ranks by committing to Tulane (spots filled up). He got an offer from Old Dominion (who also didn’t play) off his 7 on 7 video he posted on Twitter. Hall had 2 QBs lined up at USM already so that wasn’t a possibility. Tulane’s interest in him dimmed a lot with no film this year. We would’ve probably signed him to fill a need but I doubt he would’ve played. I think he just chose the experience of being on a contender and probably not ever playing a meaningful snap versus playing at a lower level. If he wants to coach eventually, this was probably a good move.
This one belongs to the Wave.

Re: Billy Wiles reports two different kinds of offer
If he sticks it out and his family can pay for it, there's a legit chance that in those four years he'll get a big fat ring for his efforts. Or at least some ridiculous swag bags from high-level bowl game participation (PS5, Beats headphones, all the goodies).TU23 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 27, 2020 10:59 am Billy got hurt a lot by the pandemic.

Re: Billy Wiles reports two different kinds of offer
in re education quality, he's going to a top 75 school... HOWEVER, paying out of state tuition at Clemson isn't going to be cheap... I will wager he's hoping to earn a scholarship at some point... but if Tulane had stayed true on its offer, that's a virtually free education versus paying over 200K.
I find it mildly hilarious that the valedictorians at Dorian Williams' HS generally go to Clemson (or a lower ranked school) and here is a "jock" going to a higher ranked educational institute than the top kid in his class and previous classes.

Seriously though, it's not really funny, it's more a shame that the kids can't see this.

Re: Billy Wiles reports two different kinds of offer
We see it but for a kid who comes from a family where no one has ever gone to college it's all a muddle. There is no shared family memory of what to do, where to go, who to turn to. You don't know what you don't know and are easily swayed through peer pressure not to finish high school, or go to a particular college for the flimsiest of reasons.PeteRasche wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 12:46 pmYeah, it's almost like we should be selling that concept to these kids or something...Johnny Mac wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 9:19 amI find it mildly hilarious that the valedictorians at Dorian Williams' HS generally go to Clemson (or a lower ranked school) and here is a "jock" going to a higher ranked educational institute than the top kid in his class and previous classes.

I volunteer at the local high school and mentor a bunch of at risk freshmen and sophomores and most have never seen a family member get a high school diploma much less attend college. It may be different in your local high schools but I find most guidance counselors are retired on the job, next to useless, and the kids they engage are the kids who self select and already know what their paths should be. Counselors literally just help out with applications but as for guidance, not much.
Education begets education. It is difficult to get that first in a generation kid to start with hopefully some kindly and non-self serving advice. Once a parent, a family member, mentor, or friend paves the way it's a whole lot less overwhelming.
