Harmon leaning towards the Dawgs!

My sincere apologies if this has already been posted.


Article:

The blackout in Athens, Ga., was only supposed to eclipse Auburn. It may have gotten Clemson, too.

That may be the case when it comes to Jefferson County senior A.J. Harmon .

The 6-foot-5, 325-pound lineman has verbally committed to Clemson. But the Dream 16 standout had a change of heart on Tuesday.

\"My mind and heart is really centering on Georgia,\" he said. \"I'd say I'm 65 percent sure I'm going to Georgia. I'm going to go to Clemson this Saturday for the Boston College game. Clemson better pull out all the stops. Because all I saw on Saturday with that blackout may have changed my mind.\"

It's a stark reversal for a giant of a youth whose cell phone has a bright orange faceplate, not to mention Harmon bought a $35 Clemson belt buckle earlier this year.

\"I was 90 percent sold on Clemson before Saturday,\" he said. \"You could say 100 percent Clemson. But I saw a lot of stuff in Athens I wanted to be a part of.\"

Harmon will visit with his family and an inner circle of school administrators and coaches whom he trusts on Sunday. He plans to call both teams on Sunday with his final decision.

He will let his chosen school know so they can hold a scholarship. He'd let his second-place school know so they can find another defensive lineman.

\"What I saw Saturday was me,\" Harmon said. \"Georgia played with emotion and let it all out. That's me. That's the player I am. A place that's hype like that is a place for me to go play ball.\"

Jodie, no apology needed even if it has been posted. I had not seen that information. It is terrific news! Thanx for posting it. The FIB! (The Future is Bright)

It's amazing how one game can turn things around! I mean who wouldn't want to be a Dawg?

Thanks Jodie! I read a blurp earlier today quoting Harmon as saying he was 65% certain he would choose GA, but I couldn't find the entire article. Landing Harmon would be a HUGE BOOST (no pun intended) to the already impressive 08' class. 6' 5\" 325 lbs., can play either OG, OT, or DT. Now that's 1 big hoss I'd like to see destroying opponents between the hedges. Hopefully, Clemson lays an egg this Saturday against BC & Harmon replaces that ugly orange faceplate on his cell phone with some glorious Georgia red!

Is that his 65% lean, dawgspeare??
