Robert Nkemdiche’s mother “unhappy” with Clemson, per ESPN

11:30 pm September 5, 2012, by Michael Carvell

The mother of Robert Nkemdiche, the nation’s No. 1-ranked prospect, told ESPN The Magazine that she is “unhappy with Clemson.”

The 6-foot-5, 280-pound defensive end from Grayson High School committed to Clemson last June.

Robert’s mother, Beverly Nkemdiche, resides in Nigeria and works in politics as a state legislator. When Beverly visited with her son over the summer, she told ESPN she was surprised how serious Robert’s commitment to Clemson was being reported:

“His decision is not final,” she says. “He’s just a teenager, and people are forgetting that. We had never discussed Clemson, and I am unhappy with Clemson. I’m not there, so I don’t know for certain, but I feel like Robert was pressured into this decision.”

One of the main reasons that Nkemdiche committed to Clemson because at least three of his Grayson teammates will be playing for the Tigers next season, including his best friend since middle school, DB David Kamara. Grayson coach Mickey Conn also played football and roomed together with Clemson coach Dabo Swinney while they were at Alabama.

In the same ESPN story, Robert appeared to be solid with his commitment. “I’m going to Clemson. I want to make an impact and in three years go to the NFL. That’s what I’m going to do. You can put that in bold too.”

So basically this guy is bringing up a 3 month old story to try to get a few clicks? Must be a slow month for him so far.

Clemson coaches kept deleting her emails thinking it was a scam. Hey Clemson, if you want to keep the number one recruit you will need to wire that money to Nigeria.

Dabo Sweeney works his buddies for more recruits than any coach in america. Man he would call in a favor from his sixth grade coach if he could.

Hmmm.

dabo learned his recruiting at the feet of the Masters. He will get Clemson put on a probation that will make them wish they still had Charley Pell before long. Charley had all the techniques of ursus horribilis down pat, he just didn't have the Internet. dabo has that, and of course $$$ and Escalades ALWAYS work. Maybe that's it... momma's car never got off the boat LOL.

Haven't heard anything giving more credence to this since it was first posted.
Has the recruit's mom is unhappy smoke faded? Seems like we get killed by unhappy parents anytime that occurs with our top recruits, it would be nice to see the same be true for others.

Anyone else notice the fluidity of decommits increasing in recent years? So many kids flipping and flopping after giving verbals that it now seems the norm rather than the exception.
Recruiting truly has become a three ring circus.
Makes those that give an early verbal and stick with it seem worthy of some kind of kudos to me. I hate that it's the other losers who net all the retarded media attention.
Especially true since so many of the kids getting all the media end up failing to live up to their hype after they act like they are the second coming of Jesus.
