Can Clemson make a move on Channing Tindall?
October 31, 2017
SirSpur (@xXSirSpurXx) asks … Any concerns about Clemson offering Channing Tindall and losing him to the Tigers?
I learned a long time ago to never say never when it comes to recruiting, so I’ll refrain from doing so in the next few paragraphs.
But the answer to the question is simple: No.
Clemson is capable of swooping in to land a prospect at the last minute, relatively speaking, because it has happened a handful times over the last few recruiting cycles.
But there are similarities to the way things played out between Clemson and OrTre Smith and Clemson and Tindall. At the core of the idea is this: Clemson slow played both guys. Smith, we know, is now a starting wide receiver for the Gamecocks.
Tindall had a grayshirt offer – yes, that’s right, a greyshirt offer – before area recruiter Brandon Streeter stopped by Spring Valley High School on Friday ready to dispense a standard scholarship offer.
Some background …
SEC Country was on hand at Spring Valley earlier this spring when Clemson defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Brent Venables stopped by to watch Tindall throw in the state track meet. Afterwards, Tindall was indifferent when asked about the Tigers and their level of interest.
Fast forward 5-6 months, it’s hard to imagine those feelings have softened.
Time will tell whether or not there’s movement with Tindall and Clemson. At this point, there’s another rival to be worried about if you’re South Carolina, and that’s Georgia.
Georgia inside linebackers coach Glenn Schumann happened to also be in attendance at the state track meet that spring afternoon. He was also in for Spring Valley’s game against Sumter earlier this fall.
Until further notice, the Bulldogs are the competition for Tindall, not the Tigers.
