I've never understood...

why so many 5 star players that play the same position, commit to the same school and ride the bench for 2/3 yes when they can go to other top notch schools and play early. I know some players don't mind sitting for a year or 2 to learn but why not commit somewhere you know you could possibly play year 1 and be "the man"

afraid of success on a team level & they have higher goals in mind than just being the man from year 1?

Every single recruit is told they have a chance to start from day 1 and are told they are special and can compete for a starting spot. Especially these 5* kids. And each one believes they are better than the others and are gonna play. But coaches will say anything to get these kids to commit.

I understand all the points you guys are making. Maybe I'm just a lil salty when some of those 5 star guys commit to Alabama and FSU and sit 2/3 years when they can maybe come to us and play early. Not knocking the talent on Clemson's roster but we could use more of those 5 stars but I am happy with the players we have and the ones we are getting.

Great point. I think our coaches can develop those kids just as good as the coaches at Bama, FSU, LSU etc.

Some might actually choose the school for the academics and a chance for a good education for which they won't have to pay.

I would say if anything that the competition at that position is going to make them just as successful as being a very big fish in a very small pond. When the coaches get thru with them, they are probably ready for the next level, even with only 1 year of PT possibly.
