Parker, Buice to visit Clemson Saturday; Basford USC trip up in the air
By Phil Kornblut
Two of Clemson's major targets will make unofficial visits Saturday, and one is expected to commit before leaving. LB Justin Parker (6-2 225) of Beaufort will make his first ever visit to Clemson. He will be joined on the visit by his brother. Parker plans to arrive around 9:00 AM and will stay thru Sunday. Parker recently added an offer from East Carolina and is close to an offer from Duke. He also has offers from USC, Maryland, Wake Forest, Central Florida, NC State, Syracuse, Vanderbilt, Colorado, South Florida and Mississippi State. RB Demont Buice (6-2 220) will visit with his coach and he plans to commit to the Tigers while on campus. "I've seen everything I need to see," Buice said. "I"m ready to go." Buice also has offers from Ole Miss, Louisville, Kentucky, Southern Miss, UAB and Louisiana Tech. TE Neil Basford (6-5 235) of Jacksonville, FL had planned to visit USC Saturday but as of Friday night he had not been able to confirm the visit with rercruiter Steve Spurrier Jr. If he doesn't hear from the coach by sometime Friday night or Saturday morning, he won't make the visit. Basford has a top five of USC, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, Florida State and Miami.
