At this point I don't sweat signing day anymore


Dec 18, 2019, 6:09 PM

Dabo and Co. will get who they get and want for the most part, and they have proven that the ones they get are the right kids for the program.

On top of that, I believe the Clemson staff is better than any other staff in the nation at developing talent. Whether it be a 2 star or 5 star, they always get better.

It's almost as if it would be fine just to not pay attention to recruiting and just look after signing day each year. I dont have that willpower though.

Good Point!

I like how Clemson is comprised. You have your blue chip players "everybody wanted"!

But, you also have, "Mr. Under-appreciated 3 star and occasionally 2 star(G. Jarrett was one). Those lower star guys who the coaches have identified as having "good upsides" know they have to grind extra. They know it won't be given; if it isn't earned over "johnny 5 star".

It creates a competitive environment that's hard to simulate without the right mix. The coaches pull other up and humble others and push others and it works! For the most part everyone accepts the fact: "you get what you earn". At Clemson - you could very well be a 3 star player who starts in front of a 5 star. Most places - the alumni will pressure the coach to put Johnny 5 star in instead of maybe someone who knows the plays better or who is just as good just not as well known.

Great environment!

space to fill - 28 maybe - but there wasn't the Star power to go around and Dabo invested heavily in 'fits' for the program that could take longer getting there. It's getting hard to argue that we don't develop players better than anyone. A bunch of the right guys on 3, 4, and 5 year plans creates a steady foundation and the results are well apparent.

It's been something watching this last piece click into place - the top recruiting class to start funneling in to this mix they have going. It's a great environment indeed.

And occasionally we will get an inspirational kid like Daniel Rodriguez. Never doubt Dabo!

if he doesn’t, there’s no way he’s coaching them up to win a Natty. No way.
