    Half Of "Thunder And Lightning" Headed To NFL


    * Clemson's "Thunder" is gone. James Davis, half of Clemson's "Thunder and Lightning" backfield duo along with C.J. Spiller has decided to give up his senior season to enter April's NFL draft. "I can't lie to you, it was really hard for me just to leave here," Davis said Wednesday night after meeting with coach Tommy Bowden for about 30 minutes. "I've been thinking about it every day." Davis was projected as a third-round pick by the NFL.

    * Look for a battle between FSU and Miami in the recruiting war. Miami has set its sights on several FSU verbal commits. The Canes are making a late push to close out an excellent recruiting class that's deep and talented in receivers, linebackers, defensive linemen and quarterbacks. They currently have 27 oral commitments and can add about six more. The Canes are going after defensive end Keith Wells who is an FSU commit but recently expressed some misgivings regarding FSU. They are also looking at highly recruited corner T.J. Bryant from Tallahassee.

    * FSU's pass offense maybe can rest easier in 2008 when they play NC State. Free safety DaJuan Morgan, who led N.C. State with 117 tackles and 13 passes broken up last season, said Wednesday that he will forgo his senior season to enter the NFL draft.
