No. 1 Recruit Jadeveon Clowney Still Locked on Alabama, South Carolina

The top recruit in the country, defensive end Jadeveon Clowney had a great showing in South Pointe's first game of the season against Northwestern, but for as good as Clowney was on the field, it was what he said off it that drew the most attention.

After the game, Clowney met with reporters and reaffirmed that his top two choices remain Alabama and South Carolina and that those are the two schools recruiting the South Carolina native the hardest. 

"You've seen 'em roll the tide," Clowney said with a smile. "They play hard. South Carolina [is] in a little trouble right now, so I don't know right now. Still thinking about where I'm going to go to. It's a big decision, though." 

The highly coveted recruit plans on making all five of his official visits before making a decision and there's one game on the schedule he doesn't want to miss.  

"Alabama-South Carolina game, I'm going," he said. "Got to go to that game." 

So what is Clowney looking for when it comes to making a commitment?

"I just want to go and get a good education, hope to play in the league one day," he said. 

Unfortunately for all of us waiting impatiently for this situation to play out, don't expect any sort of quick resolution.

Not only does Clowney plan on making all of his visits, he's a prime candidate to wait until national signing day before committing. 

So, Clowney can either stay in his home state of South Carolina and play for the Gamecocks under Steve Spurrier, or he can head over to Alabama and hook up with the Crimson Tide and coach Nick Saban.

But which of these two schools have more to offer the Rock Hill native? Where will he develop his talents the best and where will he hit the field first? These are just some of many questions that must be answered throughout this process.
