QB recruit Chandler Morris' decision: Dad and Arkansas or Dabo and Clemson?

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney and Arkansas coach Chad Morris were once so close -- neighbors, actually -- that Swinney would drive Morris' son, Chandler, to middle school in the mornings. During the four seasons Morris worked as Swinney's offensive coordinator, their families would go to Carowinds, an amusement park in Charlotte, North Carolina, to celebrate Swinney's son Clay's birthday. The coaches, who both had boats at their lake houses, would also take turns bringing their kids tubing in the summer.

Now they're taking turns recruiting Chandler as a future dual-threat quarterback -- and Swinney went first.
