Recruiting This Week Pt. 2

Apr 14, 2021, 3:03 PM

I was going to save this post for later in the week, but I thought people who may actually read this board for football info would appreciate it today.

I wanted to update people on the Elite Retreat since I have seen a few questions. To my knowledge this will only be for class of 22' prospects and these are not official visits. Clemson does not offer officials during the Summer that will come in the Fall. The Cookout should happen this year, but that will be for class of 23' targets.
All four commits are expected to go to the Retreat along with these uncommitted players: Jeadyn Lukus, Branson Robinson, and Jaleel Skinner.
Some other major targets are considering attending such as: Travis Shaw, Xavier Nwanpka, Kenyatta Jackson, and Cyrus Moss. This list has the potential to expand as we get closer.

Updates on 2 players I mentioned earlier this week.
-Keon Sabb 5* safety prospect for Clemson has locked in an official to Georgia for the weekend following the Retreat. I know that he is very high on both teams and Bama. Worth noting that he is not Georgia's top prospect at the position that would be Wilson.
-Daylen Everette 4* cornerback visited Clemson for the Spring Game. After the game he made a trip to see Chapel Hill, worth noting that UNC's CB coach is one heck of a recruiter. I said earlier this week that this was UNC, Clemson, and UGA. I think Clemson is in a good spot but this no where near a done deal.

-Update on DE big Board
-5* Shemar Stewart: I think that there is definitely mutual interest with Clemson and Stewart. Georgia was hot for a while but some close to Georgia think that they may have fallen off a bit. However, the top teams for months in his recruitment has been LSU and that is team he mentions first in interviews, but Clemson feels that they can get a visit and I would not count them out with a DE. All three of those teams are still potential landing spots for Stewart.
-5* Enai White: I included White because he has always spoken very highly of Clemson, but I do not see him ending up in this class. Based on what I have heard this could be a UGA/Bama battle.
-5* Jeremiah Alexander. He is out of Alabama so this was always going to be a tough pull. I think that Clemson, UGA, and Bama have all separated themselves from the rest. UGA and Clemson could both pull this off because they are both right in this thing, but I would have to see him leave the state for me to believe it.
-High 4* Cyrus Moss: Ultimately I think that this could become a Clemson, ND, and Oregon battle. ASU could be there but I think that ND and Clemson are in the best spot right now.
-High 4* Kenyatta Jackson: The two lead teams that have lead his recruitment for months have been Clemson and OSU. I would give Clemson a slight edge right now, but this will be decided when visits open up.
- 4* DJ Wesolak: I have always gotten the feeling that Clemson could be in this one as much as they wanted. He is really high on Clemson and if they decide to make a push they could become a serious threat. ND is the leader as of now.
-4* Jihaad Campbell. He would be the last guy that I think Clemson would take. He was probably close to a commitment a few months ago but Clemson backed off because they felt that they were in good positions with other DE.

I think that Clemson is a serious contender for Stewart, Moss, Jackson, and Wesolak if they push for him. Maybe Alexander but again I do not see him leaving that state in the end.
