Recruit's reason to reject Clemson: no Chick-fil-A; Redskins' McIntosh says too much in front of wife

Cassanova McKinzy, a linebacker from Birmingham, Ala., said he chose Auburn over Clemson in part because of the proximity of a certain fast-food restaurant.

When asked about his decision, McKinzy said Wednesday that he preferred the environment at Auburn, as well as the facilities.

As for Clemson, "they don't have a Chick-fil-A on campus."

But USA Today noted that Clemson University does have a Chick-fil-A. Would that knowledge have been enough to tip McKinzy's decision?

Speaking of signing day, Washington Redskins linebacker Rocky McIntosh got into hot water with his wife during a radio interview with 106.7 The Fan about his college recruitment.

McIntosh originally intended to go to Clemson out of high school, but decided on Miami instead. The interviewers ask McIntosh if he was taken to a strip club during a recruiting visit to Miami.

That's when you hear someone else whisper to McIntosh: "What ... are you talking about?" It's around the 2:00 mark in the video below.

Turns out he had the call on speakerphone, so the interview picked up Mrs. McIntosh. Rocky pointed out that the two met during orientation at Miami and have been together ever since.

He never did answer that strip club question, by the way.
