Every morning, wake up with Rubbing the Rock as we explore some of the top Clemson Tiger stories from around the web.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Clate Schmidt drafted by Boston Red Sox<\/a> \u2014 Andrew Boardwine, RTR<\/p>\n

Clemson pitcher Clate Schmidt was drafted on day three of the 2015 MLB Draft by the Boston Red Sox in the 32nd round with the 951st pick overall. Just a week ago, Schmidt announced, via his twitter account, that he had been diagnosed with nodular sclerosing lymphoma and many people from around the baseball world, as well as the Clemson family reached out to him by offering prayers and encouragement to him and his family.<\/p>\n

Conference complaining not going away anytime soon<\/a> \u2014 Brad Senkiw, Orange and White<\/p>\n

Nick Saban isn\u2019t happy.<\/p>\n

OK, that\u2019s not breaking news, considering the Alabama coach rarely smiles and disagrees quite often with rules of the game.<\/p>\n

This time, though, there\u2019s some merit to his displeasure.<\/p>\n

While he told al.com last week that he\u2019s supporting the SEC, he doesn\u2019t like the new \u201cserious misconduct\u201d policy that league agreed to adopt recently. The rule keeps players charged with crimes like sexual assault, domestic violence and other forms of sexual violence from transferring into the SEC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Recruiting, Integrity, Keeping Your Word, and Ray Ray McCloud<\/a> \u2014 David Hood, Tigernet<\/p>\n

In the next ten days or so, Ray McCloud, Jr., will help his son and 2015 Clemson commit Ray-Ray McCloud move into Clemson to begin his college career, and you would think that for a few days or weeks he could leave recruiting behind. Right?<\/p>\n

Wrong.<\/p>\n

McCloud endeavors to help college prospects with recruiting trips, helps them connect with coaches and teach them life lessons, and he has another son named Jordan who is a rising freshman at Tampa (FL) Sickles and is just beginning his immersion into the recruiting process.<\/p>\n

McCloud works with an organization called Unsigned Preps. Unsigned Preps is designed to assist high school student athletes obtain admission into college. The organization is built on positioning exposure, education, community service and consulting as the keys to effectively producing well-rounded student athletes that flourish on college campuses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
