Paul Chryst just convinced RB Corey Clement, a 5’11”, 205 lb power runner with great moves out of Glassboro, NJ that “PITT is It” for his college career. He carried the ball 249 times for 2,510 yards (10.1 ypc) and 34 touchdowns last season, his JR year. This is a big deal PITT fans and one that portends good things. Here, take a look for yourself. Stud RB at Work.
This is a great pick up by the Panthers in any year – a four star RB who had great offers nationally. We beat out ND, OSU, PSU, Nebraska, Wisconsin, etc…
You can just imagine the conversations Chryst had with this kid at camp this afternoon:
CC: What about Shell and Bennett, aren’t they going to be returning starters?
PC: Kid, look at what I did at Wisconsin. Hell, we had Heisman trophy hopefuls at RB and still got three kids tons of carries each year. I have one word for you; White-Clay- Ball. That may be more than one word but get this, in 2010 they each had over 160 carries and almost all had over 1000 yards.
CC: That’s pretty nice I guess – OK, I’m in.
PC: Are you sure because I want you to want to be here.
CC: Coach, I already said I would.
PC: Just checking, because you know….
CC: Damn, coach – back off a bit!
