Hey Mick,
If you are placed in the care of a legal guardian and you turn 18 are you not considered a legal adult? You can vote and fight for your country at 18, right?  Just curious if Josh Harvey-Clemons is 18 he shouldn't need the signature of a legal guardian, right?

Kevin,
According to the NCAA website:
"A prospective student-athlete's parent/legal guardian must cosign the NLI with the prospective student-athlete if he or she has not reached the age of 21. Falsification of a signature or a signature by a party other than the prospective student-athlete and the prospective student-athlete's parent/legal guardian may result in a prospective student-athlete forfeiting the first year of eligibility at any NLI participating institution."

Mickey,

Don,
I have seen the Boulware boys play the last few years at Hanna and love their toughness. I know Ben has some big offers so far. I can assure you that the Clemson staff is very aware of him and has seen him and his film. I can tell you he is being evaluated at this point. I am not sure if the staff plans to offer Ben or not at this point.

Mickey,

Thanks
Aaron

Aaron,
I cannot confirm that Clemson has considered the Big 12 or vice-versa. There is a lot of Internet talk but I have not confirmed any interest from either side at this point. I would remind you that it would cost any school $20 million dollars to leave the ACC at this point so I doubt that would happen anytime soon but that is just a hunch.

Mickey,
I love the idea of a new set of eyes watching over Clemson athletics. Who is on the Athletic Advisory Committee?

Thanks and Go Tigers!
Frank

Frank,
The Athletic Advisory Committee is Harry Frampton, Vail, Colorado; Steve Bond, Georgetown; Jim Bostic, Atlanta; Jim Brown, Florence; Ray Cash, Seneca; Tom Chapman, Atlanta; Charles Dalton, Pickens; Rich Davies, Charlotte; Helen Hill, Charleston; Rodney Williams, Greenville.

I am very interested to see what they think and how much influence they will have. This is one of the best ideas I have seen from the athletic department.
