Lambert won't play at Clemson in the fall

Highly recruited offensive lineman Corey Lambert of Greenville, S.C., will be going to prep school or junior college in order to boost his grades, but he hopes to enroll at Clemson in January.

This is a real blow. Lambert was our top recruit in 2004. I just hope he gets his schoolwork together. We need guys like him.
