Recruiting DL??? We have a problem
Apr 14, 2014, 7:10 PM
|
|
Anybody have info on DL recruiting?
Losing 6 DL & there does not seem to be much of an effort to recruit DL.
Past several years have been pathetic recruiting DL, anyone know why??
What is the problem attracting top DL?
They have all looked at Clemson and signed somewhere else.
Ga, NC & Va have been loaded with DL talent, yet we are unable to sign any.
There is a problem and it must be identified and solved
We seem pretty good with Huggins, but we need more than 1 stud. Need 3 studs & 2 to develop-min.

This is Clemson, we only recruit O-Linemen now

Haven't you heard....
Seriously, though, we our 2 deeps at DT and DE are solid and have enough youth to get us through. It's hard to sell elite recruits on redshirting and waiting.
We will be fine.

They don’t seem to mind waiting at FSU, Aubarn or Ga

We haven't attracted top talent because that was not an important position to recruit at. There were so many already on the depth chart, and we only have so many scholarships. Let this year of recruiting play out, and if we don't get any, then maybe we can start to worry

We are recruiting studs...
Apr 14, 2014, 7:25 PM
|

Huggins, Trent Thompson, Daron Payne (him and Thompson are long shots, but still), Shy Tuttle, Clelin Ferrell, Jalen Dalton, Russell Ude, and Adam Choice's teammate (I forget his name).
Those are just off the top of my head. Seems like we have a good shot with Huggins, Tuttle, Ferrell, Dalton, Ude, and Choice's teammate as well. Let the cycle play out and we will see.

Very long shots

Austin Bryant (choices teamate) best chance.
Shy Tuttle, J. Dalton & S. Johnson UNC bound
Losing Studs to UNC, Va. & NC State not a good sign
Ferrell has us in top 10, second best shot
Fehoko just committed to TT

This is the scary part. We're pretty solid with the OL but haven't picked up one on the DL. I think Huggins is ours but I don't know about anyone else. We can't seem to get Tuttle on campus since the FSU game, I think he's a Tar Heel. Dalton out of NC as well. Dabo and company have their work cut out for them on the recruiting front:
Keeping Zack Bailey from USCjr
Securing Boulware
Keeping George Campbell from UF
Picking up another ELITE QB
Get Tuttle and any other DT on campus
A couple of stud defensive ends!

Another Elite QB & Receiver are more important?????
Apr 14, 2014, 8:19 PM
|

When we just signed 4 4* WR & lose 6 DL
And yall call me a coot.
Getting them on campus has not been the problem, signing them has been the problem
Elite DL don’t want to redshirt but elite QBs & WRs don’t mind??

I don't get why a Coot would be concerned with our lack of DL recruiting? And the guy's post history is pretty solid.

We have one of the top DLs in the country and you want to diss the staff about recruiting DL?
Your ignorance is showing.

I have no problem with our current DL.
More due to player development/coaching than recruiting.
Jarret has been my fav. player for a while.
Lawson is an absolute Beast.
You recruit for the future.
It took our current DL time to develop

How many more posts are you going to make concerning

your concern about DL recruiting? NOBODY on this board can quiet your fears. Contact Dabo, Scott or Venables by email or phone. Tell them how upset you are and they will be happy to share their plans I'm sure.

Our DL is very young and we have a few potential studs on campus right now.Pagano, Lawson and Ebo have serious talent. Huggins is probably committing and he is a stud. I would let this cycle play out and worry more about the irs and aliens.
