Rumor out of Clemson SC

by **ponyinNC** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 3:50 pm

I do a significant amount of work in Greenville, SC which is about 20 minutes from Clemson.

The rumor here is that when Chad Morris leaves Clemson for a HC gig (it is considered a 'when', not an 'if'), QB Chad Kelly will follow him to that school and sit out a year if he has to. He was a RS in 2012 and suffered a torn ACL in the Spring game this year.

Chad Kelly, for those who aren't familiar, is the nephew of former Bills QB Jim Kelly.

His info:

Rated as the #84 overall player and #4 quarterback in the nation as well as #1 player in New York by ESPN.com ... #4 dual-threat quarterback in the nation and #2 player in New York by Rivals.com ... #101 overall player and #4 dual-threat quarterback in the nation by 247Sports.com ...

Isn't that a reverse house warming gift?

This is from colleagues that are fairly well-connected to Clemson football. Haven't heard anything specific regarding where Morris may land, but the QB thing is a given (they think) when he does leave this year.

I would so love for SMU to hire away Clemson's golden boy OC. It would be justice for all the Clemson / USC stuff I have to listen to when I'm working there.

So we get a Head Coach and Quarterback on the deal...

PS - the reason they say this is that they think that Watson kid will be the game 1 starter as a freshman for Clemson.

Spent a summer at a camp on the island directly North of Hilton Head. Wasn't much fun, but we did get to shoot guns! :wink:
