Clemson’s talent level is declining.
In 2023, LSU has a 71% blue chip ratio
Clemson had 72% blue chip ratio
In 2024, LSU had a 70% blue chip ratio
Clemson had a 64% blue chip ratio
???? Clemson had an 8% drop from 2023 to 2024 in blue chip ratio.
Recruiting Rankings
* 2025: Currently Clemson ranked 26th nationally and 3rd in the ACC, according to 247Sports.
* —> LSU’s 2025 Recruiting class: 10th ranked class
* 2024: Clemson ranked 11th, according to the 247Sports Composite.
* —> LSU’s 2024 recruiting class 7th ranked class.
2025: Transfer portal adds for Clemson
Will heldt .93 4 star Edge
Tristan Smith .90 4 star WR
Jeremiah Alexander .86 3 star LB
Same cycle (2025) They lost 9 guys including 2… 4 stars
2025: Transfer portal adds for LSU
Bernard Gooden 0.9200 DL
A.J. Haulcy 0.9000 S
Tamarcus Cooley 0.9000. S
Patrick Payton 0.9500 EDGE
Nic Anderson 0.9500 WR
Josh Thompson 0.9400 IOL
Barion Brown 0.9300 WR
Mansoor Delane 0.9100 CB
Jack Pyburn 0.9100. EDGE
Braelin Moore 0.9300. IOL
Ja'Keem Jackson. 0.9100. CB
Jimari Butler 0.9000. EDGE
Michael Van Buren Jr. 0.8900 QB
Bauer Sharp 0.8900 TE
Sydir Mitchell. 0.8600 DL
Donovan Green 0.8600 TE
Destyn Hill 0.8400 WR
Grant Chadwick 0.8000 P
2024
Clemson added 0 guys from the portal
LOST: 12 including 2…. 4 stars
LSU added 9 guys 3…4 stars and 4…3 stars
Z. Thomas .90
CJ. Daniels .92 (gone)
J. Gilbert .93
Suggs .87 (gone)
LSU Lost 19 in 2024 (and 20+ in 2023)
Now consider how many of the 2025 transfer class is + .90 …. That’s not normal for any program. 12 of 18 above .90 and 2 guys at .89
This 2025 game may be close, but 2026 looks to trending towards LSU with the biggest question for both teams who will be under center.

PFF has them with 4 top 15 prospects for the upcoming draft. They have talent.

It HAS come to an end. They are a shell of their glory days. Much like the last few years of Les…the game has passed up Dabo

Maybe after this season ends... because they have like 6 1st round picks on the roster.

Zero chance we win in Clemson. Some of you are delusional.

I’m sure if you did this for USC and FSU it’d be the pretty similar too.
None of that matters. It’s all numbers on a sheet. We’ll see what happens in Clemson.
It’ll be a close one either way

LSU will win that game. Book it.
Posted on 7/11/25 at 2:40 pm to Kicks30
Bryant Wesco Jr will be a future 1st rounder. He is going to be a problem
Posted on 7/11/25 at 2:42 pm to Kicks30
Have never seen so much concern and continuous posts about Clemson and the opening game.

On the road at Clemson is going to be tough.
Posted on 7/11/25 at 2:42 pm to Kicks30
This will make it that much more embarrassing when they blow us out
Posted on 7/11/25 at 4:32 pm to Kicks30
Clemson has top-heavy talent, but the key to this game will be the battle between the offensive line and Clemson's defensive line.
Posted on 7/11/25 at 6:12 pm to Kicks30
They can easily beat the LSU, so throw all this crap out the window.
Posted on 7/11/25 at 6:58 pm to Kicks30
Could end up being true but you need 3 data points for a trend.

It's the fight in the dawg.......

Zero? That’s kind of low. This will get bookmarked.

Louisville and South Carolina did last year. This Clemson team is overrated an y’all will see it come primetime
