Charlotte Christian School's RB Ryan Henley-5-10, 184 pound rising junior is drawing quite a bit of interest from Clemson. He's been on a couple of visits to Clemson including The Dabo Swinney Camp and another unofficial where he was shown around by RB coach CJ Spiller. According to reports, Spiller really like what he saw in Henley. Spiller had Henley in again in June to camp.
It would be awesome if Clemson backed up Shipley with another white RB coming in the future.

Good to see another young back out of North Carolina! Btw Spiller seems like a decent guy. Has no issues playing our guy's at RB. At a huge university nonetheless!

I've got another White RB to keep an eye on. Colton Brunell is 6'1 210lbs from Columbus, Wisconsin. Rushed for 2,200 yards and 31TDs as a sophomore! No scholarships yet, go figure.

Yes it is booth. If Jordon Triplett is the number 1 running back in 2024 then that would be the second time in around 5 years. This is America and white running backs get no respect. Maybe there are small cracks in
the Caste Dam holding back all the great white football players! :)

I don't follow high school football closely but this article about a local kid, Anthony Speca, who plays linebacker certainly caught my eye. 6' 3" 219 with a 4.55 40, ranked number nine in the country at LB by Rivals and with offers from, according to the article "Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, Pitt, Tennessee, Texas A&M, West Virginia, Wisconsin and many other Power Five schools." Must be a heckuva talent to get those kinds of offers so is someone to keep an eye on. Speca plays for Pittsburgh's Central Catholic High School, which is a traditional powerhouse in the area.

Central Catholic's Anthony Speca is a new-age linebacker with old-school style

Dabo Swinney has been pretty fair to white players and have recruited quite a few, however when I looked up the 2024 prospects, I believe there was only 1 white defensive player and maybe 2 white OL. in the top 20 or so. I don't even think I saw a white QB. The lone white LB Sammy Brown from Georgia is a stud, but he's being recruited by everyone. It's not a given he's even going to Clemson. I hope I'm wrong, but the future of Clemson Football looks really dark.

Good highlights!

What a sight that would be if Deon succeeded and his negro university started a White running back! LOL, the way the world is going this wouldn’t even be the most surprising thing.

The number one rated LB in the country for 2024 Sammy Brown, Jefferson GA., has been offered by everyone, however there's no clue as to where he's
leaning. Anyone else know anything?
At 6'2, 220 lbs. and a 10.7 in the 100M, scouting reports say he could be a mid-major RB. Haha. REALLY?
Nothing new here, although, it would be kind of interesting if he went to Georgia Southern, APP State, etc. and ran for 10,000 yards.

Mid Major haha. Too bad he's racially slotted at his appropriate racial position of LB..

I've been spending some time watching rb Jordan Triplett. I can't find on any recruiting site that he is the # 1 ranked rb in the class of 24. He does have 3 D 1 offers so far but what is disturbing is a comment to potential college recruiters he left in a bio of his. He wants to graduate from a school that has high academic standards so he can get a good job. No mention of going pro or anything . This is pretty clear cut that a huge amount of black kids growing up want to be pro athletes and not doctors or other esteemed professions. I just wish our guys had a few more balls and say hey I am good enough to be a pro and I want to give sports a try before I go the academic route vocationally. Is this a cultural thing or a caste thing where white kids see the NBA and NFL dominated by blacks and get that mindset they are not good enough , it's probably been debated here before but it's still interesting fodder for myself.

Or it’s just reality that the kid has enough brains to realize that the odds are against him going pro?

I understand the sentiment but let’s face it, one injury and the kid is screwed. Hedging his position but wanting to attend a decent school seems like a wise move to me

Rutgers lands Gabriel Winowich out of Michigan.

He’s listed by recruiting services as a four star athlete but he’s stated that Rutgers plans to use him at RB.

Another white running back. Outstanding. There is no doubt more currently than about a decade or even in a few decades in
my honest opinion. It's exciting to see more playing in the NCAA. Now let's hope more can get a chance in the NFL.

I wonder if Coach Schiano is trying to recreate the Rutgers glory days of Brian Leonard and Jersey Joe Martinek? Of course, he was instrumental in screwing over both, earning my nickname of the Gap-Toothed Wigger. So it remains to be seen if Winowich will get a fair shake there, but I will remain hopefully despite my better judgement.

Why anyone would want to go to school in New Jersey, is beyond me. Another White RB is always welcome though!

They are trying to sell kids on the fact that it’s the biggest college football stadium and platform within an hour of New York City. They’ve been singing that tune for 30 years with only minor success


Now of course it can be argued that nyc itself is a cesspool but lots of people seem to disagree. Personally I left the area never to return and frankly I don’t miss it
