If there was a specific moment in time when recruiting


Mar 10, 2021, 12:16 AM

took off and Clemson Football turned the corner, it was when that scene in the movie the Blind Side played in theaters, depicting Brad Scott trying to recruit Laremy Tunsil, only to be laughed out of the film for Clemson's strict academic requirements.

This was probably when parents were able to see for themselves that SEC coaches do not care about their son's future outside of sports. It should come as no surprise that the spring following the film's release, we signed Tahj Boyd and a bunch of other really good players.

It is one thing to hear the rumors, but when you see it happening in real time up on the big screen, it is hard not to see the SEC for what it is.

When Clemson signed CJ Spiller, it changed the perception of Clemson football.

it is a movie about Hugh Freeze and Sandra Bullock, kind of a comedy-drama where a young and up-and-coming High School football coach has an affair with the wife of prominent Ole Miss Booster in order to attain a position as an assistant coach at a D1A school.

Tim McGraw was the real star in that flick.

Not coincidentally coinciding with the transfer portal.

I’m not familiar with the movie


Mar 10, 2021, 8:33 AM

As I’m not a movie goer but, without question, Boyd was the catalyst of Clemson recruiting. He certainly lived up to all the accolades! The big game in Atlanta began Clemsons rise to prominence in college football

Re: I’m not familiar with the movie

Agreed.
I also thought the Whitehurst game in Atl. against Tenn. helped.

You've been thinking about this since the movie released


Mar 10, 2021, 9:07 AM

in 2009, and midnight last night is when you decided that you HAD to pull the trigger on this post, that it simply could not wait until morning. I respect that

I’ll never forget that mask he had on in the video that came out on draft night, Larry was flying high as he ran to the bank.
