Clowney set on two official visits

By Phil Kornblut
 South Pointe DE Jadeveon Clowney (6-6 240) has offers from nearly every major program in the country and has not yet trimmed that list to a group of favorites. But he does know two of his official visits for this fall?Alabama and LSU. Clowney has not been to any spring practices and he said he probably will not attend either of the spring games this Saturday at USC and Clemson. As for the Gamecocks and Tigers, Clowney said he favors USC over Clemson, and he said he may take one of his official visit to USC. Clowney said the only recruiter he?s talked to recently is John Blake from North Carolina.

Very interesting how he is getting this much hype now. I've already known about this kid since he was a sophomore since he lives practically down the road from my apartment complex. He's a dynamic player for sure since I've seen him play at South Pointe High plenty of times since they are in the same division as my old high school.

I don't see Ohio State getting in on him because he's already ahead with other teams such as Clemson and South Carolina easily since they've been tracking him since his sophomore year.

It'll be interesting to see how this one turns out.

Also, funny thing...their high school uniforms looks just like Ohio State with colors and all, especially the helmets. It's practically the same, except different stickers. That's why I like them, haha.

Had a couple of friends play in his conference in 08... they kept raving about this kid from South Pointe... he must've been it. That 08 South Pointe team was loaded with talented seniors who went on to play major D1 ball, so that tells you just how special he is.

Tar Heels move to the front with Clowney

By Phil Kornblut
 DE Jadeveon Clowney (6-6 240) of South Pointe attended North Carolina's spring game last Saturday and came away with the Tar Heels tops on his list right now ahead of USC and Alabama. "It's not a big lead, they are just out front," Clowney said. "I just like them. Their defensive line coach, he's cool." Clowney said he talked to Nebraska earlier this week and to USC recruiter Ellis Johnson last week. He said three of his official visits in the fall will be Alabama, LSU and North Carolina. Clowney said he will announce a decision at the Under Armour Game in January.

Recruiting is always a numbers game, and the math just got a little harder for USC - ESPN

Jadeveon Clowney (Rock Hill, S.C./South Pointe), who is the No. 1 prospect in the 2011 class, has been interested in Southern Cal for a while and still plans to officially visit USC sometime in the fall or winter.

"I spoke with Jadeveon today," said Bobby Carroll, Clowney's head coach at South Pointe High School. "He said that the sanctions won't influence him with USC at all and that he would still like to visit Southern Cal this fall. He knows that what happened had nothing to do with this staff and this group of players there. So I think there's probably a good chance he will visit out there."

According to South Pointe High School coach Bobby Carroll, it may be tough for Jadeveon Clowney to get in some more trips this summer. The 6-foot-6, 240-pound defensive end has already taken trips to South Carolina, Clemson, North Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. He would like to see Florida, Florida State, Miami and LSU before he starts practice in August.

ROCK HILL - David Morgan does not have any big plans for Father's Day.
A barbecue maybe. Something low-key at his mother's house.
Spending time with his son will be celebration enough.
Morgan is the father of South Pointe High defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, regarded as the nation?s top prospect in the Class of 2011 by every major recruiting site.
With scholarship offers from virtually every major school in the country, Clowney will have thousands of people -- fellow students, SEC coaches, recruiting hounds -- tracking his every move this fall.
None will appreciate watching Clowney's senior season as much as his father.
Morgan was absent for nearly 12 years of his son's life while serving a state prison term after pleading guilty to robbing a Rock Hill check-cashing business in 1995, according to authorities. Clowney saw his dad only a couple of times and grew from a 2-year-old toddler into a 14-year-old teenager while Morgan was imprisoned.
"I went a long time without him," Clowney said.
But since Morgan's release in December 2006, the two are together nearly every day. They watch sports on TV, go bowling, take in a movie or just hang out.
"He didn't want to see me down there (in prison). I didn't blame him," Morgan said. "But when I got home, he let me right on in."
Morgan has a lengthy arrest record that dates to 1987 when he was 17, the age Clowney is now. Morgan's rap sheet includes a number of assault, gun and drug charges, including a conviction for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute that resulted in a previous prison stint before his son was born in 1993.
The 6-foot-6 Clowney gets his height from his father, who is a hulking 6-5 and works out and plays basketball regularly. Morgan might have been a multi-sport star at Rock Hill's Northwestern High in the 1980s had he not stayed "on the streets" getting into trouble.
Clowney said his father occasionally reminds him "don't do what I did."

Got a good look at him today. 6'5 might be right but he looked taller and ready to step on a college campus now.

Very impressive frame and it seemed like he could tie his shoes without bending his knees.

So is there a reason we've not offered? He seems to have intrest in us and he's the top rated player in the nation according to rivals. I'm kinda confused...

Closest he will get to S&G is the tOSU-themed HS uniform he wears now. He named South Carolina and Alabama as his top 2 today. Will not leave the south.
