Jalin Marshall was a run first, run second, run 3rd, throw 4th QB in high school and much more athletic than Clifford. I'm not even going to touch the Ted Ginn Jr comparison. :Ohno:
And I'm pointing out that those guys weren't really QBs, they were the best athlete and their HS coaches wanted the ball in their hands. Clifford is a QB.

Yes.
The only other position Clifford could play at the collegiate level is long snapper.
LS may be his NFL ticket
Several of these players are going to play football in college.
That is why you see more playing basketball as freshmen and less in the upper grades.
This year's breakdown is 6-4-3-1 (Frosh-Soph-Jr-Sr).
Of next year's seniors Wolf and Jefferson already have D1 scholarship offers.
Should Wittrock follow up a solid junior year (50 catches for 569 yards and 9 TDs) with a stellar senior year he may receive offers as well.
I would be surprised if any of those 3 play basketball senior year after making a verbal commitment to play college football on scholarship.
I believe only a handful of StX grads have gone on to play college basketball in the past 10 years..........the late Joel Cornette (Butler), his brother Jordan (Notre Dame), Walt Gibler (Loyola), Brad Loesing (Wofford), Erik Stenger (NKU/XU) and Rod Mills (Miami).
In the past 10 years more than 70 Bombers have gone on to play football in college.
That doesn't make any sense. The best college coaches (Meyer, Saban, Swinney, etc) advocate for their athletes to be two sport athletes. But maybe that's why so few St. X kids are going to major D1 programs and more along the lines of Ashland, Eastern Michigan, Akron, etc.
Maybe Coach Lallathin, Coach Specht and the recruiters can convince the upperclass football players who are committed to play football in college to continue to play basketball for StX all 4 years. :shrug:
Doesn't have to be basketball. But sure. Maybe they might go to a real university to play football.
I guess if your only requirement was going to a "real" university (couldn't find that list) and you were discounting college location, coaching staff, academics, your interest of major, league/opponents, potential playing time, ancillary costs, current acquaintances attending and so on and so on and so on

What does't make sense? It is common sense. You really think Saban and Meyer want to compete for these kids time and attention with another sport? Seriously?
Given that both have said they want their recruits to participate in multiple sports, yes. Or did you miss that part of the post that you quoted?
For idiots like Blue Rhino who can't read
:laugh: :laugh: Yeah, Dabo, Kelly, Harbaugh, Meyer, Saban, etc. all said it but they were lying, for no reason at all. It doesn't benefit them in anyway to lie about that, but they are. Good god you're an idiot.
That's probably why he's playing at Little Sisters of the Poor D3 school and not a high D1 school. Shouldn't have been an idiot and specialized him.
Who is this toolbox? What's he doing on here? More importantly, how do we get rid of him?

:laugh: Solid retort. Please provide me a quote of any high level D1 coach saying they want their athletes specialized.
Those coaches are talking about high school athletes....they are not referring to College athletes.
