There are a couple things in that Sacco post that are worth noting about Clausen. Some of the things that go on with these guys anymore get out of hand like the kid declaring to USC in Jr. High, etc. There have been some NBA slugs that have gotten too early of a "jump" on things in the past. Dudes wanting to go to Europe to make money and kill time until they can get into the NBA. I think a dude like that Harper kid is going to struggle with his idea to finish HS quick to get to the majors. Players deserve some hype, and attitude for a QB can be a good thing, but where do you draw the line? The notion that he was rarely pressured in HS, then struggled at least to a degree in college is a concern to an extent.
