I still don't get it. Alabama and LSU. Sure, but Clemson?? Why Clemson is in play for all these top recruits just blows my mind!
The big problem is you are looking at this as a fan and SECtard. You see Clemson as "choker" and since they don't win the NC or stay in the top 10, you think its a "shitty" team. First of all its not, but that doesn't matter, because 17 year old kids don't see it that way. They all think they are Superman and with him on board, they will win.
Its a very good program that sends plenty of guys to the NFL. Its a nice part of the country, close to where he's from. There's nothing wrong with Clemson.

I think the real thing that people aren't realizing about Clemson is that RN's high school coach was a college teammate of Dabo Swinney. And while they are Bama alums, I think more kids he's coached have ended up at Clemson since Dabo's been there than Bama (granted, I don't know how many Bama has offered in that time frame or how good those players are). But that is a big reason for the connection.
And while yes, Clemson fails at every opportunity on a big stage, so much in fact that Clemsoning is now a verb to describe failing spectacularly with high expectations, they still put a lot of guys in the league.

Doesn't get any rosier if I look at it as a neutral CFB fan. That program is just not as highly regarded as the other two and will never be.
But I do understand, an athlete doesn't have the same perspective.
