Somehow they've been managing to pull top recruiting classes as of late. Still, nothing to show for it. But you never know, the recruit may like the campus, the city, the players, etc. more than other schools. These can also be factors other than playing for the best of the best.

I guess they like Dabo. That is where it starts for the most part.

Bama is loaded on D and we lose an abundance of D-lineman after the season. He could come in and start here day 1. If the depth chart really is that important to him, then I must say I really like our chances with this guy. Also, Miles is much more a family oriented person than Saban is.

Clemson's been pulling in good recruits for two years now. They had a good ways to turn that program around, talent wise.

In college football, it's almost all, if not all, about having better players. Clemson and FSU are recruiting their tails off and I wouldn't be surprised to see one of them make some real noise in a few years.

Clemson kind of reminds me of LSU in the early 2000's. Building recruiting momentum wise anyway. The main difference is that USCe is also recruiting well where LSU didn't really have that in state competition. And LSU had Florida and Tenn to deal with where as Clemson's main competition in the ACC is VT I guess.

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.
