, and he said that he would be in attendance for all three days of the first session. Clemson has been the leader throughout Huggins’ recruiting process, but both South Carolina and Georgia have made moves and it will be interesting to see if getting back on Clemson’s campus helps out.

Late Monday, a group from Florida will arrive on campus and will work out in the Tuesday session. Headlining that group will be recent Clemson commit Deon Cain Deon Cain

out of Tampa (Fla.) Bay Tech. Cain will be joined by his good buddy in Tampa (FL) Sickles 4-star ATH Ray-Ray McCloud.

McCloud is one we definitely want to watch – Clemson’s class is nearing capacity, and McCloud would be one of a handful of players that would keep the class near the top of the national rankings. In fact, it could be safe to say that McCloud is the top target for the coaches during the first session. The Tigers are battling Florida for his services.

Another one to watch on Tuesday will be 4-star OL Zack Bailey Zack Bailey
