While I was listening to the Clemson flagship radio station, WCCP FM 105.5 The Roar morning show The Press Box today, the hosts John Hight and Brad Senkip discussed their opinions about the Gamecock’s Nyck Harbor

 

Paraphrased they said:

- Harbor’s winter focus has been Track and the coming Paris 2024 Summer Olympics.

- The time spent on Track stunted his development potential in football.

- Harbor fell short of hopes and the expectations of many last season and he may not develop to an expected Sophomore jump in production in 2024.

- The Summer Olympics begin July 26th. Football camp begins the next week. Harbor could potentially miss practice for the month of August further retarding his football development.

- They recalled that Harbor last year at times looked like an awkward high schooler, not a D1 all-star receiver, despite his remarkable physical gifts and talents.

- The hosts remarked that that Shane Beamer needs a better winning record this season, and that he might be held accountable if Harbor under performs. Harbor is the highest ranked recruit in Beaner’s reign as the head coach.

 

Will Oregon be an attractive landing zone to Nyck Harbor in the future if the USC Gamecocks stagger? Might he yearn to play on a playoff contending team with greater potential to develop him? Might Harbor become a faster runner with Oregon’s coaches, speed training, and performance and recovery centers?

For either track or football. 

 

I feel he may be a kid who will be forced to decide one over the other. 

 

Right now he'd be buried in Oregon's WR room by the look of it.
