Logan Davidson was ready to pull the trigger, so before leaving Clemson on Thursday afternoon, he committed to Clemson.
Winthrop was his only other offer, but upcoming trips to UNC, Wake Forest, ECU and UNC-Wilmington were expected to net some good news. All four of those visits have since been cancelled.
“Once I saw Clemson, I knew it was the one. I could tell that I didn’t need to take those other visits,” Davidson told The Clemson Insider on Thursday night.
The 6-3, 180-pound switch-hitting shortstop from Charlotte-Providence stopped by Clemson while on the way back home from a tournament in Atlanta.
Tigertown is familiar territory. His father, Mark, who played outfield for one season at Clemson before going on to a career in the majors.
“It’s a great school. We met (Lee) over there, he toured us around campus on the golf cart,” Logan said. “We saw where they’re staying, the freshmen. We saw the football field, all kinds of stuff, just kind of got a feel for the campus.
“It’s a really nice school, obviously. It was good getting a nice feel for the school before we talked.”
Lee watched Davidson play earlier this week with the South Charlotte Panthers, but contact with Clemson began when Jack Leggett was still heading up the program.
“Coach Lee, he’s a really great guy. My dad and I were both really impressed,” he said. “He’s a baseball guy. He’s got good philosophies, been successful in the past. I hope he can have some success in the future.”
