Anyone have a link to some sort of recruiting recap?

Interested to know who our top targets are for 2017 by position, and how its starting to sort out for 2018, as it seems like it's amping up with offers in that group as well. Looks like the commitment action should start heating up here with the camp behind us and the cookout ahead.
Appreciate and thanks in advance.

Thanks, interesting to take a look at even though it lacks the fun gossipy tidbits. Def informative.

Gotta say I was very delighted to hear that 2018 S/LB Mike Jones Jr. gave us a verbal commit. Being that he's a product out of IMG Academy, he should come in prepared and perhaps ahead of the curve. Great pick up for us. I've yet to pen a 2018 big board yet but I'm sure his name will appear on it. Jones totaled 40 tackles, six tackles for loss and an interception as a sophomore at Friendship Christian. He also rushed for 644 yards and passed for 909 with 16 touchdowns.
IMG Academy safety Grand Delpit (6-1 180) released a Top 10 back in April and Clemson made the cut. He's expected to announce in July at The Opening. Most feel he's an LSU lean but Mike Farrell of Rivals.com recently projected him to Clemson two days ago. Farrell also picked LB Drew Singleton and 2018 LB Teradja Mitchell to Clemson as well.
Speaking of IMG prospects, 2016 DE Shavar Manuel signed with FSU in February but it appears he's headed to JUCO due to an academic issue. You may recall his theatrics when he broke a commitment with Florida at the last second on Signing Day only to pledge to the Noles. One site noted that it could take him up to a year and a half to get this issue straightened out. It is unclear whether FSU will continue to pursue him.
One tidbit that recently came out was 2017 DE Malik Herring releasing his top 7 and our Tigers are sitting atop the board for his services. This would be a huge get for us as I've got him as the #5 DE and inside the Top 70 on my 2017 big board. The usual suspects make up the rest of his top 7 including Bama, LSU, UGA and others.

Filling the 2017 secondary slots
The picture is a tad clearer after the emergence of S CJ Avery (6-1 186) at CDS Camp. We're going after him hard and Avery is likely to return for the All In Cookout. I'd anticipate CU is going to be a huge player in his recruitment until the end. S Davondre Robinson (6-0 190) has been no stranger to our campus and he was back again for this years camp too. A few others I'd keep an eye on include Jamyest Williams, AJ Terrell, Deon Jones and Brelin Faison-Walden.
The 2018 RB Race
It'll be interesting to see who we take in the next class at this position, very interesting. Big Dexter Lawrence has a younger brother, Devon, who is one we're taking a look it. He's an excellent RB and he's got some size too (6-0 200). He's likely a Top 10 RB in his class.
Clemson is just one of many schools who'd love to receive a verbal from Zamir White (6-1 210) of Laurinburg, NC. White is easily the top prospect at his position and I cannot say enough about his ability other than to say watch his tape.
http://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/zamir-white/uNPhEiizEeS00gAmVebEWg/videos.htm
A few other 2018 RB names I'll throw out there are Lorenzo Lingard (6-0 185) Orange City, FL Dameon Pierce (5-10 200) of Bainbridge, GA, and Ricky Slade (5-9 170) of Woodbridge, VA. These three all hold CU offers. In February, Lingard gave a Top 3 of FSU, Florida and Clemson. Pierce's father was Kirby Smart's high school coach and Ricky Slade would appear to be warming up to Ohio State.
2018 TE Mustapha Muhammad (6-4 215) of Missouri City, Texas mentioned he is high on Clemson, LSU, Ohio State and Texas A&M. He has an early ranking as the #8 TE and 134th overall. As a sophomore, he caught 19 passes for 321 yards and 5 TDs.
Odds and Ends
Duke picked up a verbal from DE Drew Jordan (6-2 235) of Suwanee, GA. Jordan unofficially visited Clemson last fall for the CU vs. Notre Dame game. He's probably one of the Top 25 or so prospects at his position and this is a solid pick up for the Blue Devils.
North Augusta 3* DE Tre Lawson (6-6 240) has given Tennessee a verbal commit. Some folks down in Columbia thought he was a garnet lock for sure but it wasn't meant to be.

2016 DE Shavar Manuel ..THAT'S HILARIOUS.

Before one of the PC nut crowd jumps in and say we shouldn't be talking about a recruit's ability or intelligence , the funny part is when he flipped on NSD, Brad "Bag Man' Lawing went on about it being a PLANNED ploy to embarrass Florida. Well the Gators might be laughing now.

I seem to recall that as well.
Funny thing is, even with the departure of Manuel, the Noles are still one over the limit. That means that somebody is literally going to lose their scholarship some time soon. That's pathetic. This over signing bullcrap has got to stop.
Let us also not forget another school who has practiced the same tactic as well. "I cannot look a kid and their parent in the face and say you can trust what a University of South Carolina coach says."
"I told [South Carolina coaches] this was foul. I didn't have a clue until 18 hours before signing day, and if they say anything else, they're lying."
