But Alabama is not seen to them as the threat, nor does Alabama have Clowney as a priority. They are waiting on Jarace Walker at that spot who will announce later in the week and is expected to pick Bama. Clowney is an afterthought.

Indiana is the only social media account of his finalists that Clowney follows however, so it would be hard to justify that for anyone who has a chance of coming to your school.

At the end of the day, Clowney was a priority to Indiana and VT, and Clowney likely feels his opportunity to reach the next level is higher under an NBA coach. There are of coudse counters to that, but sometimes kids minds latch on to one pitch over another and it sticks even if other options are more logical.
