Defensive tackle Rashan Gary was the No. 1 overall recruit in the 2016 class and while he ended up choosing to attend Michigan, he didn’t announce his final decision until National Signing Day.
After hearing the latest reports, it’s absolutely shocking that Gary was still considering the Clemson Tigers so late in the process.
According to NJ.com, a guy who called himself “Clemson Dan” called Gary’s school (Paramus Catholic) and left a disturbing voicemail the day before Gary’s official visit to Clemson.
“Yes, this here is “Clemson Dan,” and this message is for Mr. Rashan Gary,” the man said on the voice mail. “We just wantin’ to know if you’re coming down here for a visit, you better be serious about it, ’cause there’s only two things we love and that’s Clemson football and the KKK.”
“If you’re coming down here, you gotta do just like the KKK and be serious about your football. Clemson and the KKK, the two things we love the most,” the caller said.
“So you better not be fooling around, if you’re gonna get a visit, you better be commitin’,” “Clemson Dan” said on the voice mail.
“So, just be aware, this ain’t no fooling thing. We Clemson. We big-time football down here.”
“We don’t take no losers, no stragglers, no lazies, no dumb people,” the voice mail from “Clemson Dan” continued. “So if you’re coming down here, you gotta do just like the KKK and be serious about your football.”
“So if you’re coming down here, you better be serious,” “Clemson Dan” ended his phone message. “All right Rashan Gary, you better be the real deal. Over and out, this is “Clemson Dan” saying goodbye.”
The incident is under investigation by the Paramus Police Department and although Gary and his family have said that it had no bearing on his decision to choose Michigan, it had to have been in the back of his mind when he made his decision. This is one of the most disgusting stories I’ve ever heard and serious action needs to be taken against “Clemson Dan.”
