Latest On 2023 DT Kayden Mcdonald

[Jason Priester]

Just gonna put this here since I've been bombarded with the question today.

2023 DT Kayden McDonald will announce tomorrow at 6 pm. Really sounds like this was a Florida-Clemson battle for the most part. Ohio State and Oklahoma both gained some traction but from everything I can gather, not enough.

Having said all that, McDonald has done an EXCELLENT job at not tipping his hand. He's made all the finalists feel like they're legit in it.

Still feel like this is a battle Clemson ultimately wins, just based off everything I've said up until this point. Recruiting tends to come down to the relationships many times and that's where I think the Tigers win out. Also think proximity to home plays a big factor in this one.

If McDonald picks Clemson, do you think that has much of any influence on Tomarrion Parker's decision?

Been a lot of Ohio State chatter this afternoon and evening. I'm not buying it just yet though. Regardless, this one has been very difficult to get a good read on. They've done an excellent job at keeping this thing under wraps.

Still no real clarity here. Starting to sound like Ohio State is far more in it than I originally thought. But this one has been really hard to track.

I several others have placed CB’s for OhioSt this morning, so it must be getting more solid he’s headed north.

Doubtful. He was an over sign

Any Auburn verbals that are crossovers for Clemson? A lot of "expert" fan-recruiters LOL covet Cobb for RB.

I think Cobb would have to initiate that. I also think Cobb is more likely to end up at UGA, who finally offered him a couple of weeks back.
