Wayne Rollins Picked Clemson Over Recruiters
In Cordele Georgia AP Wayne Tree Rollins chose Clemson after visits to Auburn and Kentucky. He cited Clemson coach Tate Locke and the campus as reasons. Rollins, a 7 foot 1 inch 220 pound senior, aimed to major in parks and recreation with a math minor and helped Crisp County High set records in points rebounds and blocks. His mother Wilma Robinson shielded him from aggressive offers including cars and cash.
